Country Comforts

This fall is all about country comforts. I'm back eating meat (well one day a week), and I can't wait to stock up on a new pair of (old) cowboy boots and the 6 month countdown is on for Flannel Fest '12 (my birthday party!). These are styles that remind me of dust, dirt and hard work, apple pie, chicken fried steak, Coors Light, and home.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Land is Your Land.

 I took my love and I took it down

I climbed a mountain and I turned around 

 

And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills

'Till Landslide brought me down

Oh mirror in the sky, what is love?

Can the child within my heart rise above?

Can I sail through the changing ocean tides

Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Mmm mmm I don’t know

Well I’ve been afraid of changing ‘cause I

Built my life around you

But time makes you bolder

Children get older, I’m getting older too

 I’ve been afraid of changing ‘cause I

I built my life around you

But time makes you bolder, children get older

I’m getting older too

Soo take this love, take it down

Ohh if you climb a mountain and you turn around

If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills

Well the landslide will bring it down
