January 14, 2013       Scene on a farm

"Are you sure your parents don't mind that I'm down here?" I asked my best friend, Caroline. "I'm sure" She said, and took me out of her house into the hundreds of acres that was the 'Todd Family Farm'. Her family has owned this farm ever since her dad was five years old. 

I could feel the nice loose grass touch my toes. That felt so good. Being raised in a city most of my life, I had never had the luxury of just tanning in my backyard or picking flowers. I felt like a little kid as I picked small wild flowers in the grass as Caroline gave me a tour. 

I petted her horse, Roxy, and loved the nice soft brown fur. I loved everything about this farm. I could not understand why Caroline would want to leave this, and go away to college in NYC and probably never come back to live. She was used to it, I was not. All of a sudden, I felt a tiny thing on my arm. I looked down, and nothing was there. Except then I started itching, I had gotten a mesquito sting. 

Caroline went inside to get us a glass of lemondae, and I just laid down in the grass. I could smell a nice, clean atmosphere, not the grimy city air I was used to. I layed there and let the sun beat down on my pale skin, and just enjoyed the feel of being free....
