Since moving to the country things have been different than living in the middle of town. Before I had a Little Ceaser's Pizza, A Tuesday Morning, A Police Department and my hairdresser and gym all across the street. Now I have a field across the street, a field to the side, a field in the back and to the left a ways off, a neighbor that has shared his okra with me this summer.
There are good points and bad with this arrangement. I have become very interested in Astronomy since being out here. I visit the 'Seven Sisters' regularly and have seen the moon up close as well as the comet. Our friends have us over and we sit outside on their front porch and visit. They also have horses so we have enjoyed walking out the back door and feeding them apples. There are many other advantages to living in the country. I however do miss not having to drive 12 miles to get to anything. A deer was hit just a few yards down the road the other night. My gas bill is astronomical. And I just can't run to get milk when I am out. So mostly I miss the convenience and so much of driving. The rest is great.
My cousin, Aaron and his family, Heather and Cameron has moved to Madison from Michigan this week. I'm going now to help them move into their new home. They will be a welcome addition to the area.
It is getting cold here. We had frost the night before last. So the okra is gone. :(
