'My world' encompasses more than one physical place. Tho I've lived longer in Connecticut than any other state, I am always drawn to my Missouri. This is the back yard of my parent's home, and where part of my soul will always reside. We (my sis, bro & I) grew up in a home about a half a mile from here and though I loved (still love) that home, this is my Missouri home. The memories here resonate. The family and friends that have gathered here over the years and the memories we've all made...ahhh what can I say? A more special place I just can't imagine.
Want to come join me?
It's the edge of heaven, this
Missourah of mine.
xoabb
expect anything!

OH! AND VOTE, PEOPLE, VOTE!

A very beautiful photo of a very beautiful place. It looks so peaceful there.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to go in that beautiful spot too!~
ReplyDeleteMine is up too, HERE. If you get a chance;)
Lovely, lovely photo! I'll come join you there next time you're visiting!
ReplyDeleteLove that shot -- it's a good one to illustrate what you wrote...
ReplyDeleteI want to take up residence in one of those chairs and never, ever leave. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo - I love the light, the composition, but mostly the story it tells.
ReplyDeleteNice, Annie.
ReplyDeleteTHIS is beautiful! I would have guess it was the East with those chairs.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me long for the slower, quieter younger days.
Such an inviting spot!
ReplyDeleteAnd on the voting thing: do you know if the bars in CT are open this afternoon? Thanks in advance :^)
Now winetipper...how could I possibly know that???
ReplyDelete;-)
Um, yeah they are. BJ's at 1?
Home is where the heart is. This is a lovely place and we always tag "home" on that place where the people we love live and the memories are strong. My childhood "home" is now under a parking lot of the Indianapolis airport...boo....but I will always have those "home" memories in me anyway. This is now "home" and I dread ever leaving it and have learned I can't go back and see what others do to what was my home once I leave it. I just have to carry it with me in memory. I hope you will always have your Missouri home :-)
ReplyDelete...Oh my, one must click on that photo - so beautiful! And what a lovely nod to our Missouri there Miss Annie...thank you for that! :o)

ReplyDeleteHow peaceful and beautiful "your Missou" home is! It's funny how our hearts have a special place that we will always call "home!" My SIL lives in suburb of ST Louis and I enjoy going there so much! There is something so lovely and calm about your beautiful State!
ReplyDeleteHi! Thanks for your comment on my blog about you know who. I love her but I about lost it today. Thanks for your words.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post and picture, great sentiment
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful place to be!
ReplyDeletea very delightful view. thanks for sharing your world.
ReplyDeleteTSAnnie, I'd come sit a spell in one of those chairs with you any time! So glad to hear you have a place that is "home" to you. My heart is always drawn to Idaho, though I only lived there for 2 years and have never been able to move back. I only have to see a picture or think of it and I start to cry. For me, heaven is a place called Idaho. I hope you make it back to your Missourah.
