You know you’re living in the country when—
01) You go to town and the sound of a siren puts you on edge.
02) You get nervous crossing a street.
03) Your favorite quotation is from Abraham Lincoln’s father: “When you can see the smoke from your neighbor’s cabin, it’s time to move on.”
04) Your dog usually smells like skunk or cow manure, and you hug him anyway.
05) You don’t relate to the need for a privacy fence.
06) You can smell cigarette smoke half a mile away.
07) You notice the stars every night, and you can see them.
08) You consider it a compliment when someone says, “You look like a mountain man.”
09) You don’t have to spend money to enjoy wildflowers and feel romantic. More than anything else you want to share the beautiful outdoors with someone.
10) You appreciate frequent time with God outside, looking at the skies He paints just for you to notice, without any distractions except for His creation.
These lists are supposed to have ten items, but I must add one more:
11) You believe your children are better off growing up in the country.
