About Me
- Rurality
- Living in rural north central Alabama. Currently overstocked with pets and poultry. Having lived in several small towns and larger cities, country life is taking some getting used to. The photo is of Jasmine, fearless protector of the homestead from coyotes, bobcats, deer, herons, airplanes, butterflies and fuzzy little bunnies.

That's Mayberry for 'ya.
Too cool! 'Round here we're lucky if we can get our local postie to look up and say hi!
Ahh, there's no life like small town life.
Wow, there's service you'll never see out here.
I've been here 27 years. I love it, too!
I don't hear many people say
"running around like a chicken with your head cut off" -- actually, I think my mother is the only one (maybe it's her AL roots).
I lived in small-ish towns before but not one this size I suppose. It does seem to make a difference!
Hmm maybe that is one of those southern sayings that I didn't know was southern...? I say it all the time in "real life" and hear it a lot too. Of course I say "fixin' to" a lot too but try not to write it. :)
"Running around like a chicken with it's head cut off" can't be southern, because it was used all the time where I grew up, in Central Manitoba. I'd say probably just rural.
Ah--I missed Homestead Hollow this time. But I heard the traffic was even worse than normal!
