Country Livin'...

There are a few things I love about living in the country...

1. There are more 4-wheelers and ATV's here than cars.
2. The stars.  I can see about a zillion of them at night.
3. The wildlife.  I am watching this cool spider at night.  It's a catface spider and it's really creepy.  But its okay because it is outside, on the far end of the shed and it just hangs out.  It's not in my house, so it's okay.  But I love watching what it does.  It will die soon, and I will have a Charlotte's Web moment.  I hate spiders so much, but this one is intriguing.  I won't let Brent kill it. 
4. The racoons.  They are everywhere.  They are annoying, but cute. 
5.  Nice neighbors.  We have received cookies 4 times, rolls once and everyone stops by to say 'hi'. 
6.  There is no where to eat out.  We save a lot of money on not eating out.  We probably spend more on grocery shopping because I feel like I need to stock up on everything in case there is a disaster and we can't make it to the store.
7. That song "I wanna go where everybody knows your name...." is always stuck in my head.  Everyone knows us.
8.  The people at the bank know my name and I have only been in there once.  They say 'Hi Jodie'.  Whoa.
9. We don't have tv.  We watch Netflix because internet alone cost $70 a month.  There is only one provider for the internet.  So, we decided we would just do that and not have T.V.  I actually love it.
10. Kenlee loves picking tomatoes.  She runs out the door and screams "Matoes" at the top of her lungs.  Then she knows to get a bucket (or small plant pot) and fill it with only red tomatoes.  She is really brilliant.  Then she brings them in the house, plays with them for a while, then gives them to me to put on the counter.  What a nice girl.  (She only screams three things..."No!", "Matoes!" and "Nemo!")
