My Childhood Home of Nature

This was one of my favorite places in the whole world as a child. I spent many a day playing and growing up here. My grandfather used to own this farm until he passed a few years ago. My uncle took it over and just let it go so to speak. It’s too much for him to handle evidently. But, I went today and looked around , thought I would take a few pics. It felt good to be here…..the nostalgia was amazing. Being out in nature today , made me realize how precious life is. 🌳🍁🍂🍄🍃❤️

Life is very precious. In a blink of an eye your whole life can change. My wife had a major stroke in front of me and she was gone. Enjoy life it is short

@turbineman40 I’m so sorry to hear that about your wife my friend!! I know that all too well about life changing in the blink of an eye!! I just remember being so happy and carefree here. 👍

@SW-User Thank you
It is a lovely area to enjoy again as an adult

MoonlightLullaby

Aww.🧡

It's precious to think of you playing out there as a little girl. Even though the place has run down, the old and rustic nostalgia makes it more beautiful to me. It gives it depth and adds to those memories. That aside, the pieces of nature you shared, have a very calming effect (said by a girl who hates this season) so I can see how you felt so peaceful and grateful for life. I'm happy you got out and made the best of the day, but especially that today's venture brought out the best in you, sis...🍁🌾🍂

Thank you sharing this memory and pictures. I sometimes visit my childhood home in the woods and it brings an odd mix of sadness and joy.

SW-User

@Lumberjack70 yes, it sure does.....the days of running and playing. When i was there the other day, i could hear the laughter and shouts from childhood in my mind and heart. 😀

Lumberjack70 · 56-60, M

@SW-User I know exactly what you mean.

exexec · 61-69, C

Nice! Much like where I grew up. Put me in a big city and I will die. I need nature!

SW-User

@exexec that is the truth for me. I once lived in a semi big city for 7 years. It was about the death of me honestly. I now live back in my small , country home town!! Wouldn’t change it. 😊

JimboSaturn · 51-55, M

@SW-User I moved to the country 22 years ago and I will never go back

SW-User

@JimboSaturn there ya go!! Same here!! Country life is the best in my opinion. 😊

Bexsy

Love that. Memories are special

SW-User

@Bexsy yes, they are very special….a place I will always remember. ❤️

Bexsy

@SW-User we had a big weeping willow and I would spend hours under it. Like my personal cave/hideaway

SW-User

@Bexsy we all had our special places!! 💖

This looks very similar to an area I grew up in, in Michigan. A great place to grow up, to be close to nature. A person can come up with so many things to do and explore in an area like this.

SW-User

@windinhishair you are right about that!! So many kids nowadays have no concept of the outdoors anymore. The outdoors still always call to me!! 😊

windinhishair · 61-69, M

@SW-User And to me as well. I would spend whole days outside, catching turtles, frogs, snakes, and salamanders, swinging on grapevines, swimming in an abandoned quarry, listening to birds and other wildlife, floating things down the creek, making and using rafts, and hundreds of other things. Now 60 years later, I still spend part of each day outside walking, even in sub-zero weather. Those can actually be some of the best days.

You were so fortunate to grow up in such a place.

SW-User

@windinhishair well, it’s so good to find like minded people such as myself. I did all those things growing up too!! 😁

@SW-User me too. I'm out in the middle of it.

SW-User

@Outdoorfreedom you are so lucky....i have a few places around here that i go to enjoy being in nature!! ☺

Outdoorfreedom · 56-60, M

@SW-User there's also a couple nature reserves close by with creeks going through. Hardly ever any one around. I've even skinny dipped there.

smiler2012 · 56-60

{@indy74]🤔 looks nice peaceful unspoilt and full of good childhood thoughts

SW-User

@smiler2012 it really is…..there’s a lot more here to explore….but, my uncle has let it get out of hand. It’s kinda sad really.

JimboSaturn · 51-55, M

What a beautiful places to spend time as a child you sre very fortunate

SW-User

@JimboSaturn yes, I count my lucky stars for this place!! 😊

Lostpoet · M

That looks like a beautiful place to live.

SW-User

@Lostpoet its so run down now that it breaks my heart....my uncle doesnt keep it up. 😐

Lostpoet · M

@SW-User It looks like a lot to try and keep up, but he should at least try, so he doesn't ruin the property value or have to pay someone else later to fix it up.
