I understand the draw. It’s boring in the country for most young people. At least there’s always something to do or something to see in the city.

I was a city kid that ended up in the country, and it’s like a different world. It took me years to slow down to country pace. Now that I’m older I enjoy it, but it took a lot of getting used to. There’s things I miss about the city but I prefer being out here where I never have to lock things up for fear of it getting stolen, cleaner air, and all the other issues city life brings.

The biggest issue I have out here is keeping the deer out of my garden.
