This Place

This place

-Is a place where a dog is not just a companion, it’ll save your life on a daily basis just by being around.

-Is a place where you’ll never go hungry. Everybody cooks good food and plenty of it. Find a fridge and dig in.

-Is a place where you learn the meaning of work.

-Is filled with love.

-Is where you fill a mason jar up with ice water and bring it with you to hoe the fields. That's the original bottled water, y'all.

-Is where you’ll have to drive thirty miles down country roads into town if you have a craving for fast food.

-Is where you’ll want to plant yourself in the sandy loam just to feel the silky dirt between your toes.

-Is where the air is intoxicating and smells of honeysuckle in the spring; humidity and earth before the rain, and fried chicken at dinner time.

-Is where the sunset lights up the sky over the trees in the far corner of the field every evening.

-Is home.
