watchman ...

i can only agree in what you say. we've been 'out of town', if you will, for over ten years now.

i do not miss the wailing of siren, the crash of BFI dumpsters at 4 AM, the stench of diesel fuel, the eye burning of industrial waste, the torridity of concrete, the temerity of city tensions ... i could never return to town...

we have the sweet aroma of pine, the swishing of cattails on the pond, dragonflies with their damsels resting on the deck, rabbit en 'masse, frogs galore, weekly coyote visits, bobcats on the prowl and our Australian Shepard sharing dinner with a family of Cardinals.

i do, however,suffer the drone of a tractor working a field somewhere on Saturday mornings and that suits me right down to the ground.

unfortunately, we must work in the city. we drive about 130 miles a day to and from work.
and i wouldn't change it for the world .... except for perhaps a more remote location!

best regards,

ambrose

ps ..... here's a quick tour of Croaking Frog Farm .. be sure to do the slide show http://farmfotos.croakingfrogfarm.com/album10
