We live on a wooded five acre track in the hills of Tennessee. We had our wedding reception here before the house was completed. It's a place we love and we have continued to work on it on a regular basis since that wedding in...

Elizabeth @Poppylicious (11134) • United Kingdom 30 May 16

savypat @savypat (20216) • United States 6 Jun 09

People who live in big cities may live by the calendar but they don't live by the seasons as those of us who live in rural areas. Now we are racing the heat, we must get all our Llamas sheared for the hot weather, their heavy coat...

Do you like your neighbors?

thinkingoutloud @thinkingoutloud (6127) • Canada 29 Dec 06

At a holiday party I attended, there was a discussion about neighbors. Many people said that they prefer NOT to get to know their neighbors at all. They are content to say a "hello" in passing or to wave across the street now...
