Yes, I consider our house as "in the country." Those that are from the country would laugh at this statement. Heck, people who live in towns would laugh at this statement. But citygirls like me would have to agree.
You know you live in the country when...
Gunshots don't make you jump
You can always hear roosters in the distance
Picking up after your dogs rarely never happens
You frequently pass your house because there aren't any street lights and you don't see it
When you ask your husband to go to the store to pick up an ingredient you forgot, he just looks at you like you're insane to suggest a 30 minute round trip to the commissary
Oh, and you pour buttermilk down your toilet
These are just some of the things I've been noticing since we moved out here. It has been an adjustment, but for the better. I'm more organized with my shopping, at least. I know we're not truly "country living" but I told Zack if you're on a septic tank you live in the country.
And I'm sticking to that.
Buttermilk down the toilet?!
ReplyDeleteI know... right? We agreed to it in our lease. Apparently it keeps your septic working. Gross.
