Me Too!

Tonight I'm going to watch Miss Potter as my last "at home" moment. For those of you who haven't seen it, it's beautiful and charming indeed, and is a must see. The scenery itself is tear-jerking. I'm about to reveal part of the ending, so if you haven't seen it yet, and don't want to have it spoiled stop reading here.

I love love love love love that Beatrix buys up thousands of acres of land in the Lake District of England, preserves them as working farms, and then gives them to the English public as a nature preserve. This is something Ceej and I dream of doing (especially in Utah). It is disturbing to see so many developments going up where there used to be beautiful farm land or land that was simply untouched. I sometimes feel discouraged and that every beautiful piece of land we have will some day be bulldozed over to make way for cookie-cutter homes. On the other hand, I am inspired by stories like Miss Potter's...there are good people in this world who value natural and untouched beauty.
