A day on the farm.
I have always lived in the city. My first home had a lot size of 100' x 300' and I felt comfy. Then when I moved into my next home and the lot size was 55' X 110', I almost went into a panic mode. I could practically fit six of these lots into my old lot. I thought that the neighbors were too close. I even considered erecting six foot picket fencing all around but then I realized I would be shutting myself in and didn't want that either. After some years I learned to adjust.
My oldest son just lives twenty minutes away from me in Monroe, MI. I can drive down to his house and feel like I've driven WAY OUT into the country. His home sits on 2 1/2 acres. We refer to visiting him as "going to the farm".
He loves his animals. He has goats, rabbits, chickens. guinea and doves. He also has several bird feeders out to attract a variety of wild birds.
With plenty of room to play, he has some toys to keep the kids occupied. They have the usual swing set/play structure. He also has a bounce house, golf cart, mini bike, go cart, and a couple of four wheelers. The kids have a ball playing OUTSIDE all day.
Here's the chicken coop with some of the goats, chickens and guinea.
The kids get a kick out of holding the baby bunnies, jumping in the bounce house and swinging away on the play structure.
Everyone gets a turn riding in the golf cart, on the four wheeler and the mini bike.
It's relaxing to go down to the farm in Monroe, MI. for a day and get away from the city.
I look forward to our visits there.
