Every once in awhile I find myself homesick for where I grew up which was in good ole Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Where I live currently seems to have an abundance of highways, concrete, and gray. This is not to say there isn't still beauty and nature to be found, it just isn't always as easily recognizable as where I came from.
I yearn for open space; to see farmland, red barns, silos, and cows.
When I go back to visit I don't even mind the smell of manure as it reminds me of home and numerous memories I've created there. It makes me think of dear friends and fun times had together while our dads played softball. It makes me think of driving on back roads with the windows down. It makes me think of mornings getting ready for school.
I treasure my time spent in Lancaster and look forward to looking back on my current location and the memories I've created here as I prepare to move to a different state for the first time in my life!
