'Round the new farm Sunday -- Including lots of photo-ops, too many to skimp on. Thanks for stopping by!

16. So true TNNurse. A proverbial double--edged sword. You know whereof you speak.

We needed to leave our home of twenty-three years about a month ago.
Where we moved from was twenty minutes, eighteen miles from a small town in Washington. Our thirteen acre farm was surrounded by hay farmers' big fields. Quiet most all the time, so much so you could hear the wings flapping when geese flew low overhead. Now we're on a smaller farm outside another small town in Washington. Conveniently four or five minutes from groceries, take-out pizza, gas station; noisily, a half mile from a major highway and a local/regional airport, which serves the community with airplane rides and as a base for seasonal fire-fighting helicopters.

All was not lost with the move, outside noise notwithstanding. You're right, there is nothing like country living.

Thank You for your insightful and kind comment.
