[Ag-eq] rural living questions

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Nella.
Gosh, that sounds exciting!  But I totally understand your hesitation.  I
would love to have a little farm, but I hate feeling trapped, like I can't
go anywhere without waiting for someone to help me.
Is it possible to walk anywhere from this farm?
My parents homestead is great, but the only access is by walking half a
mile to the highway, then walking some more, and I don't walk on highways.
It doesn't seem at all safe.
But, if it were possible to walk down a country road to someone else's
house, or even to some small store or something, I would feel better about
it.  If I always had to wait for help to go anywhere at all, I think I'd
go stir-crazy pretty quick, even if I had lots to do on the farm.  But
maybe I wouldn't, if I had really lots to do.
Sometimes you have to take a chance.  But do everything you can to be sure
it's a good chance.
