I'm a country boy and probably always will be, though I've lived in the city for 5 years now.
I spent my very early years in suburbia and moved to the very edge of rural territory. My parents' road is well popluated, but there are farms down the main road. Our house is something of a farm itself.
Personally, I like the country life, but also like being 40 minutes from the city. Orchid refers to where i grew up as being 'where well off people can afford to live in the country but still work in the city.' Pretty accurate description.
There is just something about working on a farm that I like. I love the fresh, open air. I love the smell of hay in the morning. I love the misty field as the sun rises over the trees.
The country is nice.
