Rewards of the simple life

"To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter... To be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring- these are some of the rewards of the simple life."

-John Burroughs (1837-1921)
American Naturalist and Essayist 

This quote reminded me so much of my husband and farmette partner! The man who gardens by the moonlight and walks his goats and sheep each night before bed! 

He has spent, the almost 20 years of our time together, teaching me how to notice and appreciate the simple, but lovely, rewards of living in nature. It's finally sinking in...
