A RURAL LOVE LETTER

Let’s keep our jeans muddy and cover them in grass stains on the hill. Apple pies on red gingham picnic blankets are mom’s favorite when the sun’s high. We can lay on our backs and pick out the different shapes of the clouds. I’ll make a wish before blowing out the dandelion. Maybe we don’t have to move as fast and far as the world wants. Maybe what makes us rich is the little moments.  

Whenever we are on these ranches I always catch myself running around with the little kiddos and hearing what they have to say. They’re always reminding me that inside we are ageless - when we talk to ourselves, it is the same age of the person we were talking to when we were younger. Our bodies will change and transform but inside we are always those same little kids. Don’t ever forget to nurture your inner child. Sometimes when I make a big decision I like to think what I would want to do for little Brooklyn.

A little rural love letter to the beauty in simplicity- be kind, love deeply, and don’t forget to play.

Featuring the most beautiful family that reminded us the importance of it all, The Bowens.
