One thing that I find really annoying about living in the city is that it never gets really dark (when you live in the city this is a good thing). I am used to night being dark, like pitch dark. This is just one of the things that, when I think about it, really annoys me about living in the city. So this weekend I am getting out of the city. I'm going on a retreat, with a ton of people I don't know and a couple of people I kind of know. We are going out to the Pocono's near a small lake. Google maps, makes it look good, although it is not really as 'country' as I would like. But hey, at least I will be out of the city.
And let me quantify that I do not hate living in the city. I actually love not having a car, being able to walk, bike, or take SEPTA every where. But deep down, I'm a country girl, who misses mud between my toes and a dark night with a sky full of stars. I miss speeding on the back roads, being able to drive to a forest less then half an hour away and not see any houses or people. I miss seeing kin (cows for you city folk) and horses. And yes I actually miss that really lovely smell that you get when the local farms cleans the barns and sprays it all over the fields after harvest.
So I guess it is about time to just get out of the city. Also it will be good to learn more about the Church I have been going to and have some very directed study in God's word. Two nights Two days away... And there is a hot tub! ya whoooooo
