My DH and I retired and have moved to rural Middle Tennessee, building a small house on part of the farm where I grew up. My chickens are out free-ranging and there is a wild hen turkey having a dust bath in my garden. This morning I took the dogs for a walk and we saw a doe and fawn on the farm lane (actually a real lo-o-o-ng gravel driveway. I cannot see another house from where I live. We moved here from suburban Charleston SC, which was a nice place, but we had 1/3 of an acre and lived on a curve. Lost a mailbox about once a month. Chickens were illegal, but we lived right on the city/county line and there was a flock of "feral" chickens right behind us. My biggest problem right now is figuring out how to get out on the front porch to watch the wild turkey without scaring her away. Yeah, it's nice. Someday there will be problems, but not right now. My thanks to whoever runs this universe.
