I miss living in the country and having horses in the back yard. I miss riding my horse through the first snowflakes of the year, singing carols and seeing his ears tilt backward to hear me. I miss snuggling by the wood stove when a winter storm rages outside. Like MsnPA, I miss feeding the birds and wildlife. Heck, I even miss the muddy springs and the multi-coloured fall leaves.

I also miss my youth, and the energy that living a country lifestyle requires.

Now that I'm in my golden years, I wouldn't want to live on a horse farm anymore or experience raging storms or spring mud.

Everything in life has a season. We move on and experience new pleasures. I love everything about TV, especially my friends. Everywhere I go in TV, people are smiling. I feel blessed to be able to have a home in such a wonderful community.
