Here in Central Illinois, one hour from Bloomington, one hour from Champaign, one hour from Kankakee we are missing many things. There are no awesome Cliffs of Mohr, not a hint of sandy beaches with blue green waves, nothing that can even come close to the Grand Canyon but we do have beauty. We are in the middle of some of the richest farmland in the nation. We feed millions. (Well, not Keith and I on our own, but farmers in general you goof.) We too are America the Beautiful.
Take a drive in the country today. Stop and pick up some locally grown produce. Appreciate all that we have.
Well said. Life in the country is a beautiful thing.
