Meaning of Home

The meaning of home to me is getting up nice and early to have a scrumptious breakfast before working on the farm. Then coming home to cooked food full of delicious aromas. My home is my refuge from this crazy world. “A house is built with walls and beams, a home is built with love and dreams”. I love sleeping in my warm bed in a house full of things and I'm so thankful for everything. I love when I am on summer break and at 8:00 am, start up the lawn mower and then mow till six. I've got to mow my house (3 hours , the farm (5 hours) and my uncle’s house (3-4 hours) once every week. In the winter, I like spending long days at the farm working on lawnmowers, mud mowers and lots of snowmobiles. Home is where I have all my memories. For example, it is where I had my first steps and it is my happy place. It's my cozy nook from the world. Some people think you can only have one home. I beg to differ! I have never moved but even if you moved thirty times and have thirty homes it doesn't matter. Home is a place where I can be myself and free from judgement.
