Life in the Middle of Nowhere | Part II

-Using a hay wagon as scaffolding to paint the side of your house,
-Sledding down your dirt road 'cause there are never any cars,
-Hauling hay home in the back of a Cadillac,
-Laying down in the back of a pickup truck to avoid the cops as you drive through downtown Keene, (okay, not the middle of nowhere, but it's still country-ish)
-Stringing lights through the trees so you can go sledding and ice skating at night with your friends,
-Your neighbor plows your driveway when you're on vacation... with his John Deere,
-Walking through town gathering sap with your neighbors,
-Shooting off fireworks for Thanksgiving, knowing the cops won't mind and the neighbors keep asking when we'll do it again.
-Being able to play the alphabet game by using your neighbor's last names. (Andrzejczyk, Chenausky, Elwood...)
-Taking a "quick run" to Hannafords and stopping at three different sugar houses on the way back.
