the great outdoors

some people take the great outdoors for granted. it is easy to do if you live in a small town like i do. you will hear people complaining all the time about the wind blows too hard or we don't get enough rain (which is true, but don't whine about it). i love being outside. it is by far my most favorite thing in the entire world. everything that i enjoy takes place outdoors (minus movie watching and video game playing) and that makes me soooooo happy. today was such a beautiful day and my dad and i took the time to pot some plants for our back porch. they look spectacular and it was awesome to just be outside planting plants and listening to the radio together. i wish that people would take advantage of being outside more often than they do. i was in a large city called denver over spring break and it was an awesome place to visit but if i had to live there i am pretty sure i would die. ok not really but seriously it is not a place for someone like me who has grown up on a farm his whole life on the oklahoma panhandle plains. sure there is green spaces for you to get your outdoor fix in the city but nothing compares to what i have grown up around. the moral of the story today is to get outside and make some memories that will last a lifetime. :)
