Thoughtful Thursday - You Can Take The Girl Out Of The Country - But Not Forever

You've heard the old saying "You can take the girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl." I did some searching on Google to see where that saying originated but couldn't find much, only a few country music songs.

If you live in a city and need some relief from the noise, traffic, pollution, etc., head for the country. Hop in the car and point it towards Rural Route anywhere. The quiet country roads provide amazing scenery. Horses and cows grazing, beautiful farm properties, old stone houses, colourful barns, many in disrepair but full of character.

Check out the farmers working their fields. They work just as hard, or harder than the "suits" in the city. Cornfields, bales of hay, hawks flying over the open fields all make for great photo opportunities.

Yes, they say you can take the girl out of the country - but sometimes you just have to go back.

The next time someone tells you to "get out of town" - try it.
