Day 11 - Country Life


I also haven't really lived in the country despite the fact that until I got married I never lived in city limits. (for the first 15 years the city limits was at the edge of our property).


This abandoned church was on the way to Kaneeta, on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. Nate and I were on our way to a Christian Kane concert and I took this photo as we drove by it. November 2010 (I think)


This is one of the draft horse teams from the North American Draft Horse Association doing their plowing competition at Farm Fest. Farm Fest is put on by the Yamhill County Historical Society. I can't remember the year but it was April of 2011 or 2012.


This is out in the middle of a field right next to I-5 in California just south of the Oregon border. (Really like 10- 15 minutes south). Taken while jedibuttercup was driving freeway speeds. October 2013

Beautiful :) I know what you're saying. I live about an hour from New York City and my area is pretty suburban, but it's seen a lot of sprawl lately so it almost feels like the city at times. When I was married, we moved about an hour and a half north of the city and it was quite nice and rural. A lot more peaceful, though the neighborhood we lived in was very isolated. Except for condos across the road, it felt like our nearest neighbor was a mile away. I liked how peaceful it was, but it could get lonely with my ex-husband working late most of the time and no one really around.

Thanks.

I guess I'm more of a suburbanite than anything else but I've never lived in the typical cul du sac. My parents always had a couple acres. So I'm not really sure what I'd call myself. Maybe that is why I feel like I can blend in to either being in the city or in the country.=)
