I've been living in the country for more than 10 years. It means quietness, privacy, harmony and peace for me.

Living in the country requires an active lifestyle. It involves activities like doing daily chores, preparing firewood forwinter heating, feeding animals including pets and livestock, tending the garden, or securing fences, etc. For me, the mostattractive activities are fishing, hunting and hiking. I enjoy seeing what nature has to offer everyday through a simple walkdown the little trail, or a relaxing drive along the country road with patches of green grass ornamented with wildlife sightingsof birds, moose, bears, deer, etc.

Living the country life helps us appreciate some of the simpler things, things that make us feel good about ourselves andthe world. It may be just a get together on a Saturday at the local farmers market, or a project or a problem that the communitymight pull together to help solve. I have participated in a few community projects, like dealing with out-of-control grass fires,a roof that collapsed from a large snow fall, or even helping a recent widow with fire wood for the winter. Sometimes I amsurprised by how much benefit we receive from helping others and as for this community I can’t say enough.

I really enjoy living the country life. I know it’ s not for everyone, but I know it's for me.
