I just love how your words are so poetic and how they rekindle similar childhood memories for me. Warms my heart and soul.

I grew up on a farm in rural Ontario and though, while not on the wide open spaces of Saskatchewan, even there it seemed like there was a big world out beyond the fields and gravel road near our farm. A farm that had been in our family since arriving from England in 1853. Your post brought back so many memories, memories of hours spend on a tractor circling fields like a zamboni driver which certainly gave my imagination free rein, biking gravel roads or dirt paths or being on a party phone line. (I even remember our ring was 2 longs and a short) Your writing style created vivid pictures & stirred up memories long tucked away. Thank you for that.
