I couldn’t imagine not living on a farm

the only thing I ever wanted as a kid was to live in a giant city, or a really rich suburban area, surrounded by people, just like in the movies. But then I got older and realized how crazy it is that some people have never pet a cow, or a baby goat, how some people don’t have yards full of tons of random birds, or that some people don’t just wake up to sound of mourning doves cooing, like some people really don’t have yards full of chipmunks and bunnies, or deer, and that is so weird to me, some people actually go to petting zoos and don’t just have them in a pasture behind their house?? I never thought I’d be happy to be living in a house that’s over 100 years old with animals everywhere, but you really don’t ever get lonely when you have animals to spend time with all the time every single day.

I could never live in the city, or a densely populated suburbs close to a city. The noise, crime, traffic, and type of people (usually more fast paced and more aggressive), are just not my style.

The country is my happy place. The small towns. The farms. Visiting a local farmer for eggs, corn, pumpkins etc. Going to a rustic diner. Seeing tractors rolling down the road. Seeing old antique cars on the lawn, or an old pickup truck with patina working a field. Taking a walk, hiking, and camping in the wide open. Quiet and peaceful, with only the sounds of nature, especially at night. Maybe also the crackle of a fire.

City slickers can have the city. I'll take the country anyday.
