Down In The Valley

Warding Off The Chill
Buckland, Massachusetts

Down in the valley
is a quiet place,
Where life moves
at a slower pace,
Letting the rats
win the race.

Would not mind having a place like that. Nice & quiet. Living out where no one bothers yha. I have always thought about that. No rat race there!

What an ideal location to live. It looks quiet and I would enjoy the privacy. It would be nice to wake up to that scenery each day.

It's such a snug little house... nothing is quite as cozy as smoke rising from a chimney. I love your poem!

Beautiful Sunny... I love seeing little farm houses like that in the valley--with smoke coming from the chimney... Looks so wintery!!!!!

Hugs,
Betsy

When I looked at this post I thought the photo was great. Then I read your poem and thought is was even better. That's a great philosophy!
