Green Acres


"...is the place to be. Farm living is the life for me." But sometimes I miss the shopping on Park Avenue ;) I've just got to drive farther to get to it now. We've been in our new house for 2 months now and are learning about country living. We got a dog and 2 horses, so we're on our way.


When I go out into the countryside and see the sun and the green and everything flowering, I say to myself Yes indeed, all that belongs to me! ~Henri Rousseau


God made the country, and man made the town. ~William Cowper, The Task


My father asserted that there was no better place to bring up a family than in a rural environment.... There's something about getting up at 5 a.m., feeding the stock and chickens, and milking a couple of cows before breakfast that gives you a lifelong respect for the price of butter and eggs. ~Bill Vaughan


I'm not getting up at 5 am, but I am getting up about the time the sun rises; everybody outside is up and ready to eat!
