Life in the middle of no-where...

What does living in the middle of no-where mean to me?

-It means looking around and all you can see are trees,
-Watching the stars with no street lights to spoil the night,
-Waking up to the birds singing at dawn,
-All the vehicles have 4x4 and it's used 75% of the year,
-Knowing that it's officially spring when you hear the peepers calling from the pond,
-The nearest Walmart is 20 minutes away,
-When you walk down the dirt road you know almost everyone who drives past,
-Watching your neighbor's huge bonfire at night, knowing full well they don't have a permit for it,
-Breaking through the snowbank to get onto the road; cause, while the main road is plowed, your road won't be done till second-to-last,
-Walking to the old town library that's only open 2 days a week,
-Sitting down for breakfast and realizing that the milk came from up the road, the eggs from your chickens, the strawberries from another neighbor, and you made the granola yourself.

That's my life - and I love it.
