Reader Contribution by Maura White

Some people have told me that living in the country can’t be that different from living in the city, except for location.  They think that life is very much the same.  They just cannot imagine that there are so many fundamental differences.  I too, really had no idea until we moved out to the country what it was really like.  But there are some basic things that are as different as night and day.  No wonder that little country mouse was so lost when he visited his city cousin!

“Those coyotes are real close to the house tonight.” And they are! Sounds like they are standing on the front porch!
