Pretending it's our back yard

After Sam's haircut we went to a place that is literally a one minute drive away. I find it amazing that we live in the boundaries of a city and are surrounded with what you see here. It's such a strange mix of urban, suburban, and rural so near each other. On the road to our apartment community there is an actual field with actual horses and actual cows. We drove by and smelled the cow smell just minutes from our place. It has been so long since I've breathed cow and trees and grass. It's nice. I'm not saying I'm settled - far from it. But on a day like today I remember why we decided to leave Chicago on this new adventure.
