For most of my life I have lived on or near our farm. Even when I moved off I lived in a rural area with a big yard, not too many neighbors etc.
Well for the last 5 years I have lived in a large suburb of Austin, TX. We have a nice house in a nice area with anything we need within 5 minutes drive. BUT, I have neighbors on both sides with their houses close enough that I could spit on them. We have a HOA and cant do anything to our houses or yards without approval from them. Have lots of neighbors but none of them are real friendly either. For most of my life I could walk out the door and find something to do, like cut brush or clean up or do something because you know there is always stuff to do on the farm. But now, I do not have that outlet and find myself watching too much tv because of lack of anything better to do. There is only so much yard work etc you can do with my small yard.
Anyways, just missing the outlet and activity of being on a farm or out in the country.
