    It's a blessing that I can be out in the country air in ten minutes from my city.
That is a blessing!

    Quoting New2Midlo:
    My journey was the opposite of yours. I grew up in a very rural setting and definitely enjoyed the space, wildlife, peace and quiet. Shooting range on the corner of our property. When I moved to the suburbs, I remember being amazed I could get to a grocery store in five minutes versus the twenty I'd been accustomed to all my life. I still get cross about not having a huge tractor and numerous chain saws. Those were integral to the rites of passage in our family. Somewhere in storage exists 8m video of my great great grandfather plowing snow.
I actually grew up in a semi-rural setting, myself. My grandparents always had huge gardens and did tons of canning and freezing, my job was picking the stones out of the garden when my grandpa plowed. He had a Farmall A. When I was in middle school, they downsized and sold their house.... And I'd kind of forgotten what it was like back then.

I think "this guy munching" is actually "this gal munching."

Within a year you'll be able to tell the difference between John Deeres, Massey Fergusons, and International Harvesters. Also between Golden Delicious and Galas.

Join the local gun club, meet your neighbors and sharpen your shooting skills.

Oh,and buy a set of tire chains.

    Moved out of a rather large city to the country 20 yrs. ago Did take some getting use to but couldn't get me back with a shoe horn now...Enjoy!
I didn't live in a large city, but I did have the convenience of a whole lot very close by. I'm still working in Gaylord, so I can still pick up / do whatever it is I need to do without much hassle on my work days, but impromptu pizza delivery and spur of the moment trips to Hobby Lobby are a thing of the past.

Nothing like living in God's Country
I watch farm equipment up and down my road all day long.
Hay field for miles and cows, old barns.

The country living is nice, if you can deal with being far away from everything. The winter can get long in the north. If you were able to work from home it would help with the winter doldrums.

    Maybe those were the ones at your window the other night??

    It looks so peaceful, thanks for sharing!
I was thinking the same thing! They were very comfortable, just hanging out there. Didn't even mind that my daughter and I were standing there staring at them from the road.

    I didn't know the Amish drove tractors. 👍
    Have THEY come around to your door and offered you a glass of Kool-Aid? 🤔

    So when dja gonna start canning peaches and making gallons of strawberry 🍓 jam? Ya know, you can set up a booth, roadside, and make some extra money. Just saying.

    I see them on my strip of road all the time. I bought some honey recently! 🍯 Fabulous! 👍
I haven't seen any Amish, but my landlords do have a roadside apple stand set up in their yard by the road. LOL He's the one on the tractor doing the harvesting.

    I used to live in the countryside. I always slept better there than living in a city. I think it was all the fresh air.
So far, I'm still getting used to the strange noises and Peeping Tom Deer. Definitely feels a little different at night.

    Oh look.. a flock of tractors, think if you honk they will move out of the road ?
    Nah.. the farmers would shoot back

So far, I've only seen the one that's been harvesting the apples. I wonder if it's part of a gang....
