​"Foolish people waste their time searching for greener pastures... 
Wise people cultivate their land and grow their own."
  ~~Charles Friend
Someday I'm going to the British Isles.
I won't be seeking greener pastures.
I have them in my own backyard...

​"You will not be the same after the storms of life; you will be stronger, wiser and more alive than ever before!"
  ~~Bryant McGill
With the day an hour shorter, we committed ourselves to spend some time outside, even with the rain.
The lake is the nicest when the water is free from the wake of boats...

“The air was fresh and crisp and had a distinct smell which was a mixture of the dried leaves on the ground and the smoke from the chimneys and the sweet ripe apples that were still clinging onto the branches in the orchard behind the house.”
  ~~Arlene Stafford-Wilson, Recipes and Recollections: Treats and Tales from Our Mother's Kitchen
We're spending a lot of time on country roads looking for our homestead.
I can see a little house tucked back in the corner with the trees, can't you?

"To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring — these are some of the rewards of the simple life."
  ~~John Burroughs

A drive through the country with the sun peeking through the clouds.
This was the scene I was photographing...

...and this was the scene behind me.

 “Life is always a rich and steady time when you are waiting for something to happen or to hatch.”
  ~~E.B. White, Charlotte's Web
The countryside is covered in 4 inches of fresh snow. It feels like spring is taking its sweet time.
Nevertheless, this nest is the season's promise that the cycle will continue...

"It doesn't matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes. What matters most is getting off. You cannot make progress without making decisions."
  ~~Jim Rohn
A rainy day with the countryside still green.
We'll take it, thank you...

​"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."
  ~~Wayne Gretzky
Tom and I have been driving through the country a lot these days looking for "For Sale" signs.
I find more things to photograph than signs.
And that's okay.

"Empty barrels make the most noise..."
​  ~~Swedish Proverb
While waiting for Tom to check the bee hives, I wandered through this old barn.
I'm still hopeful we find property with one of these old buildings still standing...

“There is nothing in the world more beautiful than the forest clothed to its very hollows in snow. It is the still ecstasy of nature, wherein every spray, every blade of grass, every spire of reed, every intricacy of twig, is clad with radiance.”
  ~~William Sharp
I arrived on the trail to walk just as the lanterns were lit and the sun was setting.
Welcome to the annual Dacey Trail Luminary Walk.
