City vs Country

(Wife of PJ Farmer Here )

Just some of the difference I've noticed between city living and country living...

In the city when you run into traffic it usually means that rush hour has commenced.









In the country when you run into traffic it usually means there is a big a@@ piece of farm equipment blocking the whole road and shoulder and no one can get around the big boy.











In the city driving 15 -20 miles seems like nothing. In fact you almost don’t get in your car to go less than that.







In the country 15 miles seems like FOREVER. Without the buildings going by and only cows to count it seems so much longer.










In the city a traffic accident usually involves other vehicles.










In the country a traffic accident usually involves one car and a ditch.











In the city the street lights come on and light up the night.









In the country the stars come out and light up the sky.













In the city there are planned flower gardens and containers.








In the country there are wild flowers along the road.












In the city a kid might point out a cow.










In the country a kid will not only tell you it is a cow, but the type of breed.













In the city you get so excited when you see a deer. You call your friends and say, “I just saw a deer!”



In the country you drive down the middle of the road praying the deer stay in the ditch and leave you the heck alone.










In the city there is always somewhere you can go in the middle of the night when you can’t sleep.





In the country everything closes up by dusk.














In the city you expect a certain amount of professionalism and customer service.











In the country it is seat yourself and we will get to you when we finish catching up on the local gossip.












In the city if you hear gunfire in your neighborhood you watch the news expecting to have them mention it.

In the country if you hear gunfire, it is just your neighbor Clem doing a little target practice.

In the city when someone waves at you, it is most likely the one-finger wave.

In the country people wave because they know we are all neighbors.

In the city you get up hurry up make your coffe e and run out the door to your fast paced life.

In the country you slow down and enjoy the coffee from the deck while listening to the birds sing.
