Welcome to Adventures of a City Girl in the Country!
I've always kind of thought that blogs were silly, but then I happened across one (farmgirlfare.com) and realized it might be kind of fun to detail all the things I'm learning since we moved to the country...so here I am.
I have ALWAYS lived in the city. In fact, I don't think I've ever been further than 5 minutes from a grocery store, dry cleaners, etc. We moved out to the country in September of 2006. To say I was nervous about it would be putting it mildly. My husband grew up in the country and always wanted to return to that life, so last September, we bought a house on 15 acres in the middle of no where. I've gotta tell you...I absolutely LOVE it! Is it inconvenient, yeah sometimes, but I wouldn't trade all the convenience in the world for one night of clear blue skies filled with stars and no noises other than the cows mooing from across the creek and the snicker of the horses next door.
For the first time in my life I am going to plant a garden! More on that to come for sure....so stay tuned as I'm sure this will be filled with stories that will make the hardened country folk among us collapse on the floor, holding their sides, laughing until they turn blue in the face :)

As another country girl convert, I can assure you that you will continue to grow more in love with country living every day! We moved to the country 3 years ago from the beach and we have never regretted a moment. I was never a gardener before either, but it has become my passion....along with feeding and watching the birds and trying to keep the armadillos out of my many gardens.
