I saw a National Geographic statistic today that said 70% of the us will be living in cities by 2050. That leaves us 30% of the kick back and enjoy life on the last frontier of tranquility of rural.
These were just captures I snapped when we went for a short Sunday night drive with the girls. When the sun went down tonight, we were in our local school where 200 kids grades K-12 attend daily in one building. It’s not the same as a city school but it’s a fabulous little school. Tonight was an Evening of the Arts to support our band and drama programs. Our teenager was in the one-act comedy play.
Whether you are feeling like a Wordy or Wordless Wednesday today, link up and share a blog post below. Early each Wednesday, I always try to visit at least 5 others linked up below to find some new bloggers as well as favorites. Throughout the week I manage to make it to each of your blogs I hope.
Gorgeous sunsets!! I do not envy people that live in cities and hope I won’t ever have to.

I grew up in your “slice of Americana” and got a little homesick when I saw your beautiful sunset pictures.
Beautiful pictures! Happy Wednesday!!!
The sunset shots are beautiful!
Beautiful sunset shots. I will just hang out here in my section of the woods….all by myself. Perfect.
I’ve been a ‘city’ girl most of my life. Small cities. Don’t like big ones.
Hope to be a country girl one day.
I think part of the problem is going to be limiting how big cities can be as they gobble up the country and the prairies.
Love the pictures and the post. Thanks for sharing with us.
Your photos are breathtaking. You certainly make rural living look enticing. I can only hope that the country settings stay intact in the coming years. I think we need a little of both. Happy WW!
I love your slice of Americana! I’m in a rural setting, too, though my sons’ school is nowhere near that small. Still, never underestimate a small-town or rural education. Life is just different out here, and I think a safe, basically worry-free environment is so much more than school test scores and convenience to everything such as can sometimes be the case in a city.
Of course, I’m about ten minutes away from a decent-sized city….but still glad I don’t have to worry about which school district I live in, or what size it is.
Happy WW!

go rural life! these are beautiful shots!
Your slice of Amercia is beautiful!! I went to a small school with a great sense of family (like your son’s school has) but now I work at a school that is huge and doesn;t have any sense of family.
Someday soon we will move from the ‘burbs back to the country and have our own little rural life – I can’t wait!!
I love this! We live in a rural area, as you know, and our kids attend the same school. I love it. One central location and everyone knows each other. I wouldn’t trade life in a small rural town for anything in the world.
Fabulous sunsets – many people in urban areas just don’t know what they are missing 🙂
Those sunsets are breathtaking!!! 🙂
