Always happiest to have a good dog or two beside me. :) People raised in the cities don't know what they are missing and maybe some do but can't find an income there. My husband and I must live on the outskirts of a city because the sort of job he has and is good at and loves is a city one. He is very happy to come home to the hills at night though!

I live in an urban neighborhood, but I do what I can. We have hens and gardens and fruit trees. In some ways I think the tides are changing and that being eco-responsible is really starting to happen on a larger level. Then today, while driving around, by daughter got a whiff of a fast food chain. IT STINKS! she, said. Agreed.xo<br />Lady Cordeliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08460301461275849055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-78048430647113038062014-02-09T18:56:37.500-05:002014-02-09T18:56:37.500-05:00My mom grew up on a farm and hated being away from...My mom grew up on a farm and hated being away from civilization. She vowed to move away from there as soon as possible. She got to work in the city for a couple of years but then ended up in small towns - - - until the mid-seventies. The day after our youngest brother graduated from high school, she moved to Albany, NY and was there until 7 months before dying. She LOVED it - - - lived downtown by Rockefeller Plaza. We enjoyed visiting with her but never understood how a person slept through the traffic all night - - - especially when the fire station across the street went out on calls. My husband and I live in TN at the back of a subdivision surrounded by a wooden area behind us. It's so peaceful and we love it. We are five minutes from major stores - - the best of both worlds.

My donkeys never need coats, except for the fluffy extra coats they grow themselves in winter.

People don't get that.<br />Civilized? Is the city really a civilized place?
