Describing my experience.

The experience of helping at Fox Lake Farms had many aspects.  I walked around the pond heading toward the back pasture where the horses were grazing and as I stopped for a moment,
I realized the sounds of birds 
singing, horses chewing, even the sound of insects flying around, giving me a sense that I was now in an environment of that was true to nature.

  I walked out into the pasture and felt the warm, soft coats of the horses as I began to pet them and enjoy their company.  The horses, the field, the pond in the background, was a sight that brought back memories of when I was a child and grew up on a farm just like this, evoking feelings of being homesick while at the same time filling me with a sense of peace and warmth.

 Even the taste in the air has a thicker, almost dirt like feel to it, with smells ranging from the stench of manure to the sweet smell of freshly strewn hay, these of which I have only experienced out in a country area like this one.
