We are privileged to live out in the "sticks" of northwest Louisiana, surrounded with 100 year old trees, a beautiful pond, tons of wildlife and a farm on each side. Our home is an ugly, too small for us, fixer-upper.... that has yet to be fixed up.  LOL However, just a few moments sipping tea on my front porch swing make it all worthwhile.  It is so beautiful out here. There are deer cautiously wondering through the trees, cattle grazing in the pasture, bass spawning on the edge of the pond and dozens of species of birds chirping, singing and cooing their cheerful songs.

Oh, and I must mention the earthy smell of a spring rain, the sweetest aroma of Honeysuckle in bloom and the most breathtaking sunsets and star studded night skies. It’s my little paradise of peace and God breathed beauty.
