Ever since I was a young girl, I have been enamored of “rolling hills” and farmland. My third grade class studied farm machinery and went out to the plains of Illinois to see a farm. It was nice, but when I caught a glimpse of Kentucky and Iowa on a family trip that summer, I raved about the “rolling hills”.  Now I am living up in Wisconsin, where ice age glaciers left deposits across most of the state in landforms known as moraines, kames, drumlins, and eskers. I am in heaven when I venture west from the city of Milwaukee and wind my way around farms nestled between these ancient hills.  I am planning to aim toward this horizon more intentionally in the future. Steve & I are hoping to move next year to a more rural village and live a simpler, slower life. May we all reach our desired horizons before the darkness comes!
P.S. to enjoy this horizon in a wider view, just click on the picture!
Beautiful! I love the orange leaves!
As I reached the crest in the path and saw that hill, the color took my breath away! Glad you came to visit!
I can imagine! Glad I visited! 🙂
Hi Scilla,
A lovely photo, and exciting plans. I wish you a smooth transition, and much happiness in your new home!
Thanks, Naomi! Hoping for a natural setting for grandkids to explore, too!

But wherever you go, and however ‘back to simplicity’ you get, make sure you’ve got an internet connection…OR I WILL NOT BE HAPPY!
Yeah, that’s gonna still be essential, not only for keeping in touch with my friends across the pond, but also for the online book business we run from our home!

Yes I’m sure that’s quite important as well, but let’s make sure you keep me prioritised, OK?
Of course, Mr. Shpics! 🙂

Splendid!
Beautiful capture of this great view!
Thank you, Janaline! I’m glad you stopped by!
Wisconsin is a beautiful state…the photo reminded me of many places I’ve lived or been with rolling hills and they bring a sense of serenity. Here, in the Sierra Nevada, we have towering peaks. So much beauty all over…unique wherever we are.
Awesome wonder all around!

Lovely photo.. Makes me really want to visit the US (even more)
The best we have to offer is in our natural landscapes, I think!
Fabulous colors. What a good catch.
There are many blessings to be found in intentionality.
…I agree, and I’ll keep looking for them!
