I'm a city gal. I couldn't live without museums, the theater, movie houses, oudoor dining, the library, easy access to conveniences, I'd go crazy with the solitude, which I guess can be iffy for you at times.  Everyone has their ideal way of living, there are city and country folks. Enjoy your quiet while you can.

Agree 100%!  Born and raised in NYC, now living in Chicago. Can't imagine having to drive 30 to 35 miles to doing any sort of shopping.  Wow!

It is considered rural but it is not Little House on the Prarie rural. When we lived nearer to town our neighbor, a farmer, had 80/90 acres and a large herd of milk cows. He and his family were great. He kept his fences in good repair although once in awhile one of the goofy cows liked the grass on the other side and anaged to knock the fence down. He was great about gathering them and putting the fence back  up.

I still have part of a downed fence in the back of my yard from 2 months ago because the putz next door is lazy.

@CrazyKittyLvr2    I love that you feed the stray cats that come in your yard.  And that new kitten sounds adorable too. Are any of these kitties spayed/neutered?  Do you have any vet services or clinics that would do spay/neuter for people?  Thank you for feeding them!

@sophiesofers  We have fed strays for years.  Some of the adults are spayed/neutered.  DD finds clinics that do it for a reduced fee. A few of the adults that have been coming for meals for years have gotten used to us so we have been able to get hold of them for spaying/neutering. There are quite a few that you risk blood and tears (ours) if you try to touch them.

We have gotten our hands on a few kittens and found homes for them.  Most high tail it when you go on the porch. Nothing like a 1 lb. kitten that walks like a drunken sailor hissing at you.

We also make cozy winter homes for them. A man down the down does the same thing. He has quite a crew at his place.

Not to jump to morbid conclusions, but are we sure he's still in the land of the living? Or maybe he's in the hospital? You heard rapid gunfire and haven't experienced his usual annoyances. Could he have had an accident?

I hope the dogs are okay. And the neighbor too of course.

And any of his animals.

@Porcelain  He was standing the barn when I went by a few days ago and DD has seen him.

His pooches haven't been in my yard but I did see one down the road yesterday morning when I went out.

The dog has 3 legs after getting hit years ago. The little knucklehead still chases cars and lays in the middle of the road, on a curve no less. Oh, he has a girlfriend. Little black fuzzy mutt and they have 2 pups.  I used to see the whole family walking along the road. Haven't seen mom or the pups lately.

Wow, I live in the "country", but you're not allowed to have your dogs and livestock roaming- And no one has livestock, maybe just chickens or horses (but rare)- And there is a shooting range, so not allowed to shoot in your yard-

I wonder what state @CrazyKittyLvr2 @lives in, but whatever- Anyway, its so hard when you have inconsiderate or dopey  neighbors- And we have all had this at one time or another!
