Country Life

We live on 10.21 acres in a 10 yr old home that is just under 1200 sq ft, 20 miles from any sort of town, and 50 miles from a city. We have 3 towns and 2 cities to choose from and they are north, south, east, or west of us. We live a mile down a somewhat paved/graveled road. We have raised goats, chickens, turkeys, ducks, rabbits, quail, horses, and teenagers here.

We lived on the Mississippi gulfcoast till 6 months after Hurricane Katrina (yes we went through that storm and the weeks after never leaving the coast) on 5 acres with a 2600 sq foot home that was built in 1922. We raised donkeys, goats, chickens, pot belly pigs, ducks, geese, Rheas(very short time on these), rabbits, a cow, and children.

We have also lived on 40 acres in a 1962 mobile home with about 720 sq ft (it was paid for :0) without running water(we hauled every drop) and no electricity. We raised goats, geese, chickens, donkeys, pigs, ducks,rabbits,turkeys, and children for 3 years there.

My husband grew up on a horse farm, I grew up in the city...:0)

We love living in the country and with my anxiety it is peace to my soul to have our own paradise away from a frantic world.
