Years ago I was taking a fall drive in Caton, New York, and came upon this quiet country road lined with maple trees and stunning views. I silently wished to myself that I could live on a road like this someday. My wish must have been carried by the wind and through these very leaves because many years later I bought my first house on a quiet country road. It wasn’t till I started taking nightly walks down through these trees that I realized I lived on the same country road where I'd made my wish. My soul is happy here. It was pure luck that a squirrel and its friend ran across the road just as I took the photo. The squirrels seem happy here, too.
