You do the little wave thing over the steering wheel and to cars driving by your house whether you know the people or not.
My best friend is a city person, and could never understand why I did that when we first met. Would ask who was that. "I don't know, I was just speakin'" meaning being friendlyI
f your animals get out and you're not home, your neighbor will put them away, and leave you a note that they got out--not because they were upset, but because you'd want to know. You would do the same for them without even thinking about it.
You will not get many people to do that anymore
When a person's word and a handshake actually MEAN something!
Amen!

Our city home is on a 10 house dead end street..
We all look after each other's dogs, so that when a dog or other animal gets loose we put them back in. With a quick note and a hiya.
And just last month, the body builder across from me was chasing chickens that got loose. I really wish there was video of that one.

I have been reading this post for the last few days and although we do a lot of what is said here I must admit that my urban raised husband nearly shocked his mom when he went to a funeral for her family wearing a pair of ropers. She pulled me to the side and asked me what I have done to her son!
Simply: Bought him a pair of boots.

We call that the "two-fingered howdy" around here!
When I first toured this place to see if I wanted to live here, that was one of the deciding factors....everyone..and I do mean everyone waved to me as they passed by in their cars. I was used to this back home but not so much of it!
Folks are either freindly or really nosey here....most of the time they are both!

Isn't it interesting that the wave is not limited to only part of the "country"?
When your friends ask you to go somewhere and you hesitate. Followed by them rolling their eyes and sighing "Let me guess chicks are hatching again."
When you go onto the porch in the morning and the door is being blocked by something and won't open. Only to find out a 100 pound goat is sleeping on the mat.
When you sit on the bed and it squeals. Out from under the covers a pet pig the size of a rat pokes their head out.
When you try to find a seat to sit down, but give up after the 7 cats have taken up the couch and every chair in the house.
When your company pulls into the driveway and a mob of hungry animals run towards their car, including a goat and a flock of chickens which jump aboard the hood. Only to watch the horrified guests hit the brakes and speed back down the driveway and disappear.
When your pastor calls you Ma and Pa Kettle because you have a pig, goat, and chickens in the house.

When you have turned the extra bedroom into a chick brooding / animal rehabilitating room.
When you go through mcdonalds drive through with a cat, dog, goat, and a pig in the backseat, ordering a burger for each.
When you do the above ^ and the cashier looks at the goat and says, "What a beautiful dog." You smile and nod.
When you have fenced in every single flower or plant on your entire property because all your animals run free and you don't want them eating your plants.
When you have wooden gates across all the doors, because somehow the goat has figured out how to open door knobs.
When you horses are staring into your window wanting to be fed.
When you go to a restaurant in your boots, dirty shirt, and a big brown stain on your butt from riding sweaty horses bareback.
When you saved thousands of dollars and bought chickens instead of a new car and cellphone.
ETA:
When your police department, library, jail, fire department and court house are all in the same building. And it's a building about the size of a gas station.
Haha. I will stop now. Before I drive everyone crazy. I've never noticed how much of a hick I am.
