Peace in the Country
What a change, living in Hastings! Coming from a home that was on a zero lot 
line, where there are cars lined up and down the street, where there’s a constant hum of vehicles in the background the difference is incredible. In the early morning you hear the birds and the sun shines through the trees enabling you to see the intricate makings of a spider web. There is the occasion sound of a rooster in the background which is never drowned out by the traffic of people on their way to work.
In the evenings, sitting in the blackness of night on our swing or patio chairs on our deck we look up through the trees and witness more stars than we ever seen before. We wish on shooting stars and listen to the crickets and frogs and the owls that have a multitude of sounds.
Never have we enjoyed such peace. This is what life should be about.
