My family is working hard to get out, find a farm and live of it. Groceries are out largest "bill"every month. But on a farm we could have so much of it homegrown.FruFrun'Frillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11232543330106503813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-43349040419354723692011-10-08T09:50:24.454-05:002011-10-08T09:50:24.454-05:00If things progress as they are we just might be ba...If things progress as they are we just might be back to this. A painful journey but perhaps a better outcome. I'd love nothing better to be even farther out, have a barn, raise some animals and be far, far away from the cities, from fast food, from traffic, and where things can move a little more slowly and people wave to you as you drive by.Kathy Felsted Usherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10471923897561942341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-68299410831530143552011-10-01T19:23:03.917-05:002011-10-01T19:23:03.917-05:00What a heart-wrenching post!

Oh, the people that think a farm is nothing have never lived the wonderful life that resides down a country lane.<br /><br />Very well done, I have a lump in my throat.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-85394315093904756892011-10-01T18:49:31.373-05:002011-10-01T18:49:31.373-05:00Why anyone would live in the city is beyond me.

I grew up in a ...Oh I know exactly what you mean! <br /><br />I grew up in a small rural town and although then I hated it and wanted the city.<br /><br />I moved to the city and well... I hated it and longed to be back in the country. Dh and I lived there for 5 years and that was 4 years and 364 days too long. <br /><br />We moved back to the country 9 years ago -- not where we grew up but very similar area and small town, rural feel -- aka on top of a mountain and nearest town is 30 minutes away down the mountain. I love it now and wouldn't have it any other way.<br /><br />It saddens me to see the old farmhouses and I'll admit, I wouldn't mind one bit having one of them and fixing it up to make it our farmhouse. I love old houses like that. <br /><br />The picture of that church saddens me the most. To me, it's not only the building that is passing but so is this country's morals, etc... and that deteriorating church building just reminds me of that more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-75560912013952106562011-10-01T11:04:47.061-05:002011-10-01T11:04:47.061-05:00People who grew up with, or love rural, will miss ...People who grew up with, or love rural, will miss it. <br />People with any sense will miss it.<br /><br />But common sense isn't any more.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the story, CQ, I think many of the same thoughts when we drive back roads, too. :)LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.com
