I grew up in the country too! I sat on the porch and watched storms with my father. My sister and I were discussing this the other day. There were fields, woods and a creek behind our house and I would take off and be gone all day, only come back for lunch and supper. Just wandering the woods, exploring. My sister commented how kids cannot even leave their yards now, and my mom never knew where I was when we grew up, but I was always safe and fine. I hate how times have changed. Now instead of catching lightening bugs, the kids are blowing them up on video games. It makes me sad.
