Ok, some may know that I am not an overly girlie girl.  I love my dresses and heels, and God knows i can't walk by a make up store without running in and cleaning them out.  What i mean by being "overly" girlie is that I've never been the one for Fairy tales that didn't have the big bad wolf winning!


I've never been into unicorns or princesses, I've never like cupcakes and sparkles, not even as a child. I was more interested in woman like Audrey and Katherine Hepburn then i was with Snow White and Cinderella.  To the point that at 8 i had a cat named cat!  (Kudos to you who know to what movie that is in reference too, to you who don't....................FOR SHAME))


That said, when i arrived at this riding sim and took a look around, i DID NOT expect to like it one bit.  You could see the sim covered by autumn like trees in such a vast amount of colors that it was more like stepping into a painting then landing on a sim.  In the horizon you could see tops of castles, and i was fully expecting to turn the corner and find a unicorn laying there at any moment.




The truth is, this sim is so visually appealing that you can't help but fall instantly in love.  Add that to the fact that it is surrounded by turning and twisting trails that beg for you to ride a horse on and the sim becomes complete perfection.




There are horses that walk the sim free for you to ride so feel free to jump on and allow them to walk you through the sim.


I suggest this sim to everyone, but especially to anyone with a love for horses.  The scenery is stunning and this place is the perfect place to relax and enjoy.

     I started my morning by dressing in my most winter attire and began my search.  Outside my door in real life we were seeing the seasons first snow fall and i was in a mood to continue experiencing it in both worlds.  



     When you take the landmark to this sim you arrive just outside a little red covered bridge to a land of falling snow.  The sim offers a range of activities, including and ice rink that you will see directly to your left.  You'll also see that the sim offers rentals as well to buildings that are beautiful and perfect for a little vacation.


     
     You can also spend your time skiing down the slopes provided or sledding.  There are even a few places to stop and built a snow man.  Do you wanna build a snowman? Come on lets go and play. I never see you anymore come out the door its like you've gone away...........





     
     The sim also offers a million little cuddle locations, a beautiful spa, some places to dance, and overall a romantic, fun location to get completely lost in.





     While you're there take some photos, pick out your Christmas tree and feel yourself getting caught up in the winter season.




     Personally, i found it impossible to not enjoy this location and I think you will as well.  As always don't forget to donate and enjoy.

     Have you ever been caged by your emotions?  Locked in a battle between what you know is right, and what you want, and yet unable to help how you feel?  Have you ever wanted something so desperately that you knew just wasn't good for you?

     Have you ever hurt so badly that you would do or try almost anything to get it to ease at least for a few moments?  For something, anything to take the pain away?  They say it takes 21 days to form a habit, and today is my day 21.  I had to admit it , that even after 21 days i'm still fighting the emotions kicking and screaming like a two year old.



 Some addictions are just too sweet to give up on right away, or they mean giving up too much at the time, like everything that reminds you of it.  Coffee and a morning smoke, a drink after a long day, the list could go on and on.  It all started in truth as a friendly little joke.  that this person was my greatest addiction.  It was only after loosing them, when i felt the pain and struggled with the need to hear them again, that i began to ask myself if it was truly possible.  Could you in fact become addicted to a person?  To a relationship?



     Considering that the very definition of an addiction is: the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice, or something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, then yes, it is completely possible to become addicted to a person, and even more so if that relationship includes one or both parties playing with each others minds.  Did you know that the feeling of love or of making love releases chemicals into your body and those chemicals can become addictive.



     God knows i'm trying hard to beat my addiction, and today i suppose i'm merely missing it a bit.  After such a long time i suppose i'm allowed that right, its the continuing on the right path, keeping strong, and remembering why i decided to quit that matters.



     This is what ran through my head as i walked through this mystical sim.  The past, the present, the future.  This stunning area seemed to inspire emotion.  Its dream like quality soothing colors and soft lighting  seems to speak to the spirit and soul.



     I normally recommend a sim as stunning as this to go to and take photo in.  Not today, I recommend you all go to this place alone, walk through the tall grass, put the wind light settings on and simply enjoy the view and think.



     To anyone searching for a place to sit and think, a place to cry, to hope, to dream, this is the place for you.  Visually stunning, decorated to perfection, and completely magical, this is by far one of the most perfect sims i have ever seen.

Rated : General




      So this is actually the second time I've visited this homestead open to the public.  Not because its so big that i needed two days to tour through it, but because the first time I was so stunning by the beauty of it that i completely forget to take pictures.




     Now when we say photographic sim, this is the perfect example of what we are talking about.  Every inch of this sim provides a beautiful back ground to a picture with interactive objects scattered throughout the sim.




     
     The sim its self promotes its self as................... "You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always love you, that's where I'll be waiting"  And lives up completely to the romantic, dream like description.




     Definitely a personal favorite and a must to visit.  I will definitely be adding this to my favorites list and will most certainly be back to visit.



     I encourage you all to visit, to donate, to share the stunning pictures you take and to make sure you all share.  This is certainly a sim worthy of visiting.
