John Morley, "Nature, in her most dazzling aspects or stupendous parts, is but the background and theater of the tragedy of man."
Tonight, we're just hanging out, drinking some wine and getting ready to make some dinner. We got to talking about the weather and how crazy it's been and decided to look at some pictures I we'd taken earlier this week. We had some snow (again) and I took these photos out of our bedroom window.
We call being snowed in for a week almost every time it snows, the forty minute drive to work, twenty-five minutes to the nearest fast food restaurant, shitty internet speeds, and dirt roads, the price we pay for paradise. Looking out your window throughout the day and getting to see packs of deer wandering around is amazing. Not just the deer, we often find ourselves watching the birds, the neighbors little beagle who looks like he's on the adventure of his life every time he runs around in the woods behind our house, even the squirrels! It all makes you take a step back and realize how beautiful nature is and how lucky we are. Too often, we get so busy and caught up in work and life that we don't stop to "smell the roses" and actually enjoy life. Appreciate the little things, they can be the things that make the biggest difference!
Take a step back and take it all in!
