We live in the middle of nowhere. We live in a decent size city but our house has the feel of a country home but we are only about 2 miles from being in the middle of everything. It is the best of both worlds. The thing that I do love most about our location is the view. Our house sits up on a hill and we have a pretty big backyard that leads into our "forest". We own at least 10 acres of land. My husband could tell you the exact number of acres but I know there are at least 10. I love looking out our big windows in the back of the house and seeing all the trees. It is really beautiful when it snows. We don't get a lot of snow in Alabama but when we do it is so beautiful. The trees aren't the only thing we see though.
One morning I was up before everyone else and so I went to sit on the back porch to have some quiet time and lo and behold 2 coyotes came out of the woods! I would have gotten up to get my camera but I was a little freaked out and sat there extremely still. They didn't see me and it wasn't long before they ran off into our side woods but it was pretty cool. We have seen foxes, rabbits and we see a LOT of deer. The other day, the kids and I watched 2 deer in our backyard for at least 5 minutes.
As scary as storms are, out here they can be very beautiful too. There was storm this summer where I got some great lightening shots. And I have also gotten some pretty good pictures of a full moon. We can see these things so much better because our view is not obstructed by city lights.
I never realized how much I would love living out here but I am very thankful for it.
