The country and its reverence for life never left either of our folks, it seems.

I too love to read and have a little table/chairs set up on the shady part of the deck. I love to sit out there and reading and watching the birds flitting around. It's also really cool sitting out there and watching the rain clouds scooting before a brisk breeze and marching up to my yard.
