In the Countryside

We love going on forays in to what Forrest calls the countryside, whether it be out the back of our house amongst the chamkars (snall vegetable and fruit tree farms) or further a field to the paddy fields. Sometimes we go by foot, sometimes by bike, and increasingly Forrest goes on his trike, Gordon, which is really a steam engine. Our trips alternate between racing along excitement and chatting about everything to we see and unscheduled descents into peace, silence and tranquility, moments of awe and wonder. What a gift these times are for us all.
