Living here in the middle of nowhere is a lot different than growing up in the surburbs of Chicago. Life on the farm is so fun, and I often chuckle at things that happen here on a regular basis that I never used to think about.
Like...
-Gotta go shoot the coyote that is down behind our barn, I think he is sick because he is super skinny and is loosing hair
-Gotta go drag the coyote we just shot into the woods so our dogs won't roll around in the dead carcass and get mange
-Gotta find a home for this dog that someone dropped off in the barn in the middle of the night
-Gotta find a home for these cats that someone dropped off in the barn in the middle of the night
-Gotta go get all the cats fixed so the cat herd of imbreeders can stop growing
-Gotta get to the post office between 8:00 and 11:30 or 1:00 to 3:30 because Linda likes to take an hour and a half lunch and she is the only one that works there
-Gotta get the mail...well I'll just run out in my underwear to grab it because its not like anyone is around here to see me
-Gotta paint the gutters on the house...well I'll just do it in my bra and shorty shorts so I can even out my tan lines
-Gotta call the county highway guy to come out and fix our road because Farmer Jeff just pulled a load of manure across it and it is 100 degrees out so he pulled all the tar and gravel right off our "chip and seal" road
-Gotta plow this snow off our driveway but we will have to wait until we get a few more inches becuase we don't want to tear all the gravel off our driveway with the scoop tractor
-Gotta hire a crew of kids for this summer to help us with derouging and detasseling corn fields
-Gotta pick up all the clay pigeons that we have been shooting over Jay's field
-Gotta watch where you are driving around the corner from our house because Tracy has a horse that likes to jump the fence and stand in the road
-Gotta wake up extra early on Sundays so we can feed the hogs before we go to church
-Gotta wave at everyone you pass when you drive on the country roads
-Gotta call KT's to deliver lunch out to the tractor when we are busy in the fields during planting and harvest
-Gotta keep the windows on the house closed during planting and harvest, otherwise all the dust flying off all the tractors will cover everything in the house
We live in rural Indiana on a road where our only neighbors are two tiny grave yards. In fact, we are the only house on our road and we feel like we are quite blessed with out quiet county life...well it was quiet until I moved in!
There goes the neighborhood!
