Thanks for granting your readers the privilege of a peek into your mind and life. I suspect I'm not alone in feeling the richer for it. <BR/><BR/>I grew up in a small village in the midst of a farming community (Howick, Quebec) and craved the anonymity of the city. At fairly regular intervals, I've scuttled off to the country, but now feel pretty firmly ensconced in Vancouver life.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for a thoughtful and evocative post.<BR/><BR/>P.S. How did Raven and Tonka do in the rain this week?<BR/><BR/>P.P.S. Brandy, FF worked better than Safari, although there were a couple of font issues with it too. Will try it out more on the weekend. Thanks for your comment. Hope the fires have settled and that you're getting back to normal.Black Jack's Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436115876996209227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8889412391658819379.post-88277218431368281782008-10-17T09:58:00.000-07:002008-10-17T09:58:00.000-07:00Nice.While we both adore LA, with its 24 hour sche...Nice.<BR/><BR/>While we both adore LA, with its 24 hour schedule and proximity to amazing venues, we both like to hole up at home at have our quiet time. I can get overstimulated just sitting in my living room, though, and need to be able to have quiet time. When I first stayed at our house, I was amazed at the silence after living in a high density area. Sure, there are some exciting moments, but afterwards, we are back to our quiet street.<BR/><BR/>We had contemplated living in other areas of the world. We would adore England. London, with its numerous museums and history and nightlife, is great, but most places close pretty early. I like being able to stop at the market at 11pm if I need to. Or go to an art gallery or bookstore in the evening.<BR/><BR/>Isn't it amazing what you can see when you take the time to open your eyes! Working in the outdoors really can change your energy and soothe your mind so you can slow down and see things.<BR/><BR/>I wish more people would try this.<BR/><BR/>And congrats on another year in your home! I think you've both done an amazing job in transforming it to a happy home!Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16030144097656677108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8889412391658819379.post-26491263405383530002008-10-17T08:43:00.000-07:002008-10-17T08:43:00.000-07:00I'm with you on why I live in the country.

Sometimes I'm thinking about me and sometimes I'm wondering about the lives of the people I see around me. When I'm out with the horses I don't think as much, I just <I>do</I>. Probably why I like them so much.Funderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358687366401205336noreply@blogger.com
