[nagdu] Living in the country and NFB convention

[Julie J.]

I live in a small town, less than 8,000 people.  My husband is a farmer and 
I often think how nice it would be to live out in the country.  We could 
have cows and a huge garden and it would all be lovely.  It's so quiet and 
peaceful out there.  I could easily teach the dogs more advanced country 
skills, mainly targeting of specific buildings or landmarks.  But the land 
where we farm and could potentially build is 15 miles from town.  I go over 
all the same things everyone else has mentioned and resign myself to living 
in walking distance of the grocery, post office, bank, etc.  I do wish we 
had an acre or two though.  Then I could have chickens and maybe some bees 
and a milk goat.  There are people within walking distance of my house who 
have cows, horses, goats, chickens and even llamas the horrible beasts.  I 
think that would be my perfect, in town, but a sort of mini farm. 
Unfortunately those homes are rather expensive.  I'll keep dreaming though!
