  • more realistic

    Today Tyler and I went to my dad's farm to help him with putting up new gates to all the pasture on his 27 acre farm. We had a great time together and with my dad.  We dug post holes in the mud, nailed fences, spent our breaks among sheep, goats, dogs, cows, chickens, and a cat.  We also took a stroll into the deep woods.  The weather was not too warm, not too cold, with a touch of a nice breeze.  The sound of silence instead of cars.  There is nothing quite like it actually.  It really helps perspective.  I always love doing stuff like that.  They are memories that are cherished. 

    And we knew we were out in the boonies when we had absolutely no cell phone signal.  I am glad Tyler got to see the farm and experience it, as well as meet my dad.  It was important to me.  I also got to know Tyler much better.  It was the only time really hangin out with him without anyone else.  We usually are a big group.  So it was different, and interesting, and great.  And when we got back, we talked about our trip in a sort of "back to the real world" style yet Tyler said something...and put it perfectly.

    He said that being out there felt more realistic than it does here, back in town.  I'll let you ponder that and what it means to you.  But I thought it was perfect.
