Suburb gal turned country living . We live on 5 acres surrounded by hundreds of farm acreage on all 5 sides. Yes we have neighbors but I cannot see them from my house. Trees block the view. 1/2 mile annd further to the next house. While the quiet and privacy is nice I could easily move back to the busy suburban life in a heartbeat. I miss having neighbors and over-the-fence conversations with neighbors. I am social. dH....not so much. Hence, this lifestyle.
We live 6 miles from town and "townies" think WE live in outer space! Good grief! it takes less time to drive to the grocery store than when I lived suburban and had to sit 4-5 stoplight cycles to drive 1.5 miles on a Saturday. THAT I don't miss!
