Do your thoughts run wild, do you think too much, if the sun comes out and brightens the day? Does it really matter, those inconsequential pieces of wrong logic running through your head? if you can close your eyes and imagine warm thoughts as you walk through life? Does it matter? Truly, does it?

Let's go for our #WednesdayWalk with @Tattoodjay. You can see his post here. It has all the rules guidelines so that you can join too! Get your shoes on! We are going now! Let's start here, in the front yard, where the flowers are basking in the extra nutrients the rainwater has provided.

The rain came down in buckets last night, accompanied by thunder and a side of lightening.

Oh, yes. My Tree of Life. You know this one and several others. I post them weekly, as I pass them as I go for my walk. Close to my home. I love the huge trees surrounding my life. Oh, hug a tree today and embrace its size. I think of how this mighty oak was but a tiny acorn once upon a time. Nature never ceases to amaze me. They do their due diligence and give off oxygen, all the while making our earth a more beautiful place.

I love my neighborhood, as most people do. When I think about moving, I wonder if I will find this kind of peace surrounding me? Will I want to spend hours meandering about? Will I find new cows to talk to? More importantly, can I lose the bull?

Tell me
Tell me
Tell me, do.

It is a short walk through the woods as I make my way to the Civil War Battlefield. Virginia is littered with battlefields and historical landmarks. I love living here where it is steeped in history and always has something going on.

I have never felt at a loss for culture nor the farming community. You can have both within minutes of any city here. Literally. It is one of the redeeming things this area gives you - after taking in the fact that the traffic is normally horrific.

This fencing surrounds most of the Civil War Battlefields and was used in that time frame. You will see it used throughout Virginia, Maryland and some parts of Pennsylvania. I haven't noted any in Ohio, but, somehow, I am sure there is some.

I was never really fond of its look, however, I have come to appreciate its significance as part of a historical landmark of a time. I guess it is all in how you perceive things.

Don't forget to look up! You might miss the best part of your day!

Love is all around you!

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
