Sometimes it’s nice to take a break from the hustle and bustle of city life and spend some time in the country. I was reminded of this during this past holiday weekend while I was away upstate attending an event for a dear friend of mine.

It was such a literal breath of fresh air. I spent my last morning walking around the farm area and enjoying the “wildlife”. I didn’t see anything too crazy or alarming. Just a few geese, 2 horses, a rabbit and a chipmunk although I was warned that there are bears and coyotes around that tend to make an appearance from time to time. Mostly at night though. I made sure to return indoors by sunset.

My two favorite spots were either sitting by the pond and watching the fish flop around and the geese fighting amongst themselves or going to the highest point on the estate and admiring the beautiful landscape (as seen in the picture below).

This weekend was a reminder to always take some time to allow yourself a change of scenery and appreciate the beauty of nature.
