I want to be closer to the family farm, but I also want to get away from concrete jungles and huddled masses of humanity so I can enjoy more of what I love: nature. I think urban life has finally become a misery for me. While I'd love to let The Kids play outside, I'm too protective a parent for that. Still, I want a screened-in porch where they can lounge in the world halfway between inside and outside. I think it would be a great way for them to do more wildlife watching, which they love, and we could share the experience since I enjoy doing it as well.

I spent a week in the Cotswolds in England some years ago and it was the most peaceful time I ever had. I was thinking how I'd love to have Jack and the cats run around the fields and lie on the grass. That is so true.

You are so fortunate to have seen it in person. That's what we miss living in the city. That and the snakes too... OMG it is beautiful! You are so fortunate to have seen it in person.
