Where the Green Grass Grows

I'm gonna live where the green grass grows Watch my corn pop up in rows Every night be tucked in close to you Raise our kids where the good Lord's blessed Point our rockin' chairs towards the west And plant our dreams where the peaceful river cools Where the green grass grows -Tim McGraw

Today I smelled the grass. Seriously. I actually got to lay on a towel on our new, perfectly green lawn and smell the grass. I love the smell of freshly cut grass in the summer but ironically, this is the first time in my marriage that I have been able to indulge in this simple pleasure! We lived first in an apartment and then in the Milton home (which had no back yard) so I never was able to enjoy the private space to relax in such a way. I lay there for almost an hour today and listened to airplanes, flying bugs, a lawn mower, a few kids playing somewhere in the park on the other side of our fence, and Jaxie's jaw smacking as she tried to catch the flying bugs. It was music to my ears! Summertime. Relax. Be lazy. Lovin' it! And when I wasn't relaxing in our back yard, I was of course having fun with our little darling daughter and my handsome husband of 5 years! Here are some pictures:

The Lord has certainly blessed us here! Goodnight and love to all, Ang
