For months now I’ve been wanting to write about the benefits of children growing up in the country, but as we all know, sometimes our lives are disrupted by pandemics. I had many other challenges that I could use as an excuse for my lack of writing but nothing sounds better than, “I was busy reacting to the world to write.” Actually, that doesn't sound much better.
