Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside!
only I'm singing the Eddie Albert part and he's singing Eva Gabor!
There's something about the country... the smells, the sights, the peace and quiet...
that I wouldn't trade for the world.
I have gotten so spoiled living here in rural Pennsylvania...
no traffic lights, no traffic.
Running errands takes me past some of the most quaint scenes...
And nothing makes my heart skip a beat quite like the sight of an old tractor!
We live in Amish country...but I'm sure you have already figured that out.
The countryside is dotted with beautiful farms.
Rolling hills and woods abound.
One of my favorite errands is a trip to an Amish tomato farm.
They grow their tomatoes in a heated hoop house...
planting the vines in the soil in the middle of winter.
By May 1st, fresh homegrown tomatoes are for sale in their little roadside stand.
Their tomatoes finish just around the time that mine come into the garden.
So, we have juicy fresh tomatoes for 6 months of the year.
The availability of fresh produce is perhaps the greatest benefit of living
in the country...
not to mention the ability to grow our own!
I thought you might like a duckling update...
The ducklings that remain are all doing well and growing quickly.
But sadly, there are only 7 remaining ducklings.
It seems our fox population has been prowling around the pond.
Well, today is supposed to be a rainy day....
seems like the perfect day to pull weeds in the vegetable garden.
I just can't decide if I should wear a swimsuit or rain gear!
