New: “Country”

Having grown up in a Boston suburb, and lived for a while in Boston itself, I always preferred the more isolated rural parts of New England. Being in the country was (and is for many who live in densely populated areas) an escape from traffic, noise, stress, and other people. When I was younger, and out of college, my city friends and I would spend weekends in Vermont, and by the end of the trip, they began to feel there was nothing to do. They were ready to return to Boston. I wasn’t. I liked the quiet, the openness, and the abundance of nothing to do. “Country” 36 x 36
