Day dream

Don't deny it. We all day dream. Where is your world you go to? Mine? Well, I'm still in the process of perfecting it.

Picture this: An island with lovely mountains scattered around and forests surrounding the beach. There is a beautiful valley beyond the mountains with a large lake that leads into a stream that wonders here and there. No one knows where it goes. That is it's own business. Moss lines the stream with wild flowers bunched together here and there. Rocks disturb the water as it goes along on it's journey; and somewhere down the way, the earth seems to disappear, causing a small waterfall. Where the water meets the earth again, various amphibians have claimed it as their home, filling the air with music as different animals stop to drink.

The forest is filled with all kinds of trees. Trees that you wouldn't find together, but they bring out each other's beauty. Maples, evergreens, willows, sycamores, etc. Song birds occupy the branches, while squirrels and other rodents make the truck and roots their home. Somewhere in the middle of the forest, you almost have to get lost to find it, sits a large tree stump surrounded by a bed of pine needles, making the ground soft. This is where we pick nick on occasion. Small paths are embedded in the ground leading to berry bushes.

The lake has cat tails growing in groups spotted around it. The water is clear. You can spy on fish as they make their own journey. Fish off all different colors make the lake look like a canvas of moving paint. Bright oranges, purples, blues, reds, greens, and other colors not yet named. It's calming.

 On the east side of the lake is a log cabin. 3 bedrooms, kitchen, living quarters, and den. Large windows are seen in front and back of the house. In the front yard lies a path leading to the lake. Shrubbery and flowers guard the home. In the back yard is the wood pile, the vegetable garden, and a small shed. A warn path leads through the forest to the beach.

The sand is white and welcomes the waves. The light dances on the water, calming your mind. The water is always the perfect temperature, always inviting. And although the sea creatures are beautiful, one must eat, and there is an endless supply sea food.

The animals on my little island are docile, for the most part. Every day dream needs unexpected thrills. You get lost and chased by a rogue pack of wolves. This like this can never be predicted. One must stay away from the caves in the mountains, bears and mountain lions have claimed that territory. Although, tame when coming to you, when you interfere on their grounds, they become protective.

I can often find Cory sitting at the edge of the lake, fishing. Or sitting in a bed of pine needles in the forest. Here, Cory has no allergies. We can lie on the grass without the slightest negative consequence. It's a wonderful place. A place where material things are not needed. A stress free world.
