I have to admit, I love it out here! You never know what you will wake up to find in your yard while out in the country (ish). One day a horse is walking in your yard and you can go up and pet and ride it. Another day, you can have a mother cat waiting at your door to bring her babies in, and still another you find a sand crane, hundreds of miles away from its natural environment in your creek. AAHHH.....an education all in itself.
And just as the crane is out of its natural environment, I look out and see a man who is so in his element that he is a part of the landscape. He works outside all day, wearing the tan of a slave to the sun. He is relentless in whatever his task is and is at his happiest. I smile, knowing the sacrifices that each of us has made has led to this most happy of times together. He is different now, peaceful and content. There were days when the roads were rocky, but I am so glad to have stayed on the path to see this outcome. I told him so, the other night as we sat by the campfire. He took my hand and knew what I meant. The change in both of us is apparent and the life we share is a blessing. I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and start all over again.
