So much is urban now. I keep hoping for a hippie renaissance where kids will move back to the country. I'm seeing it a little bit around my area, but it is hard to imagine someone 23 leaving NYC for a rural life. But maybe.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-15096476312003613292015-01-03T21:44:59.201-05:002015-01-03T21:44:59.201-05:00I have to tell you my saddest story regarding Char...I have to tell you my saddest story regarding Charlotte's Web (after the comment you left me). It is,mif course, one of my favorite books ever, one I've read more times than I can count. But whenever I read it to my class this year, as teachers have ceased to do, none of the children could connect to a farm. It was unbelievable to me! They don't know what a trough is, even. How do you know what Baby Jesus was laid in if you don't know of a barn and manger?! Everything important to my life came from a farm, and it makes me so sad that children don't seem to know about them anymore.Bellezza https://www.blogger.com/profile/18073864187188953633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-77611452764835119462015-01-03T20:29:00.856-05:002015-01-03T20:29:00.856-05:00I just put a bid in on ebay.
