Today: Iraq

[kandrathe]

I grew up on a farm similiar to what you describe and I've always dreamed of returning to one some day. When I finally convinced my wife to leave the safe confines of the metropolis, I showed my city girl some farms I would have really liked to own and she would have none of it. A very "Green Acres" scenario, but in this case we compromised and found a cozy rural community still within 30-45 minutes drive to the metropolis where I could have the solitude and woods, but not so far that she would miss her city services and bus routes.

I suppose just so we are comparing apples to apples, my house is about 3300 sqft, and I pay about .08/Kwh.

Edit:

Clothes feel softer and smell better when air dried

Ours would be stiff as a board and hey, who can smell anything when the low tonight is -5F/-21C? :D
