Well the unthinkable has happened

ok all those from jacksonville don't faint...I always get homesick for Florida when i hear this song.It reminds me of that wonderful farm we had over the years on snellgrove rd. Hosting hayrides and chicken cookouts.40,000 chickens in the barns,my horse Bonnie goat Bambie and my favorite of all my window friend Chickpea the hen.I miss the smell in the summer...the taste of honeysuckle...the frogs croaking at the pond in the warm summer evenings.The gravel road that used to be there 28 years ago when Robert and I first moved to the house with the tin roof (a.k.a. mobile home) situated next to the pond. We had the most beautiful sunrises on that pond.I miss picking wild blackberries with the kids...the great times of fishing in the pond. I miss yard chickens and geese. Baby pigs,baby ducks, baby goats and baby chickens in the spring. I miss the sound of cows mooing for their breakfast and the roosters reminding us it was morning. I miss the sound of that midnight train in the distance.So for all those that did not think I would ever miss Florida...it has happened. I dont miss the high humidity and high temps and I miss and always have missed the people of Florida who are dear to our hearts but part of my heart is still sitting somewhere on 8730 snellgrove rd...probably up in the tree house.
