Okay, so we can't get Chinese delivery (or any delivery for that matter), and have to drive 20 minutes to get to the nearest store, restaurant or gas station, but......
Walk outside and see the vastness and beauty of the land, listen and you can hear the birds as they sing and talk to one another, teasing the dogs and cats as they swoop down and chirp at them, then look like little "rockets" as they fly out of reach!
The sun begins to set, the sky over the horizon turns an array of blues, purples and pinks...causing a gasp as the natural beauty unfolds before us, ever changing and ever more beautiful.
And then the night appears quickly and noticeably because there are no street lights that give off that artificial glare. Look up and as far as you can see, millions of stars are twinkling in the heavens looking as picturesque as the lights on a beautiful Christmas tree!
Our dogs are able to run and play, chasing the cows, the birds, the ducks on the pond and each other...running full speed ahead and there are no worries of streets, cars or leash laws! It is a joy to watch them play and then come inside for their, one of many, "naps"!!
It is a delight to watch the cows grazing in the pastures lazily enjoying the day. Their young calves running and playing with each other as "kids" do, and then even getting in trouble with mama cow for going to far out of the "boundries" she has apparently set for play time!
Do I miss the "food" delivery and other conveniences that is so readily available in the city? On rare occassions, sometimes I do, but I wouldn't trade the beauty, peace and joy of country living for any of those conveniences!!
