My Life in the Country

September 26, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

Once upon a time there was a little girl who spent too much time in her head and reading books…often about “olden times”, and living on a farm, and such as that.  Then the little girl grew up, married, had children and continued to dream about a back-to-the-land lifestyle.  But her version included pretty clothes, high-thread-count sheets, and vacations in luxury hotels.  She did get her lovely home in the country complete with fruit trees (which the birds and squirrels pick clean every year), a pond, and finally…chickens!  Her long-suffering husband indulges her farm fantasies but also takes her on nice vacations and little trips to hotels where the drinking glasses are real glass because everyone knows that staying in a place with plastic cups is barely a step above camping.  And she does not camp.  Ever.

Above is the introduction I just wrote for the page where I list posts about our life here in the country.  You can see those posts by clicking on the page under the header titled, “Life on Apple Tree Farm”.

    This isn't totally on topic but while it wouldn't look great you can put cd's on trees to keep birds away.

    That's an idea. We can just consider it a country version of "bottle trees". 😉

    Love this intro Deanna. It could be written about me too, except we don't live in the country yet. I'm a slow-living, country-style girl who loves the city and luxury hotels as well.

    Fiona, do you ever feel like you're at least two people in one? I just don't fit neatly into one stereotypical mold. Some days I love the quiet of the country, feeding my chickens and being alone. Then other days I long for the excitement of the city and all it has to offer.
