Very rural and beautiful. Great for kids. My oldest son, when he was old enough discovered he loved riding lawn mowers. I had 2 of them. A small one and then a much larger one that I enjoyed immensly for the large area's. He kept after me for several years wanting to use the small lawn mower. One day when he was old enough I walked up to him with no warning and handed him the key. First he was shocked and then quickly elated and excited. He immediately ran out and got to mowing with this huge smile on his face. This continued for several happy years until one day on a Saturday he came into the house and looked sad. He said he ran out of gas, got the full gas can and filled the lawn mower back up, but then couldn't find the gas cap to the lawn mower in the deep unmowed grass. I said did you pray and ask God to help you find it? His eyes got wide with excitement and said NO but I will. Ten minutes later he came into the house all excited holding the LID to the lawn mower high in the air and said, "LOOK WHAT GOD HELPED ME FIND. Then turned and ran out the door and soon that riding lawn mower was whirring again like crazy, and the yard looked beautiful. Never miss a simple teaching moment with your children. That little boy is now 43, and has his own riding lawn mower now and has never forgotten that moment, and now constantly prays to God because he learned to TRUST GOD and has never forgotten. I have chills right now remembering that moment and how it changed a little boys life. Thank you God so much.
