oh I totally agree. We met our neighbors on our road - we have a neighbor with cows on the left - plus 2 horses and 2 wild burros... and the people who are raising chickens are receiving electrical work help from my husband, this coming weekend. We don't live out there yet but we are making friends with all our neighbors for when we do finally get the place ready to live in. We have to stay in the city a few more years till we are forced to retire or until K is ready to retire. We will have a garden and we will trade with our neighbors for what we need.
