The Paths We Take

When I was a very young woman, my head was filled with dreams of traveling the world.....

and becoming a writer.......also........ deep inside my heart........ was a dream
of living on a farm,

raising lots of chickens.....


and lots of children.

One day, I met the man of my dreams....tossed my traveling, writing ideas out the window.....

and started a family.....much smaller than my first idea.




Then........

One day....it happened...we moved to our country home....which I am trying to make into a farm.
(yes, this is our home and that is a real rainbow I captured right over it!)




I still write....when time permits.....

but I took a path in life that has me cooking and baking,

doing the laundry,

and pursuing my other passion...embroidery.

A wonderful path where morning glories bloom,

pumpkins grow....

ducks waddle,

and chickens roam.

As I sit out in the late afternoon.....I sometimes wonder what life would be like if I had taken another path.....













But I am glad that this is my path in life.....

and I am happy about where that path will lead me.


So now......all of you.....go back ...what were your dreams and plans....why did you choose to do what you are doing now? I can't wait to hear!
