This week I visited my aunt and uncle in Tennessee. It's amazing a quick trip to a different part of the country can reveal such a radically different way of living.
In the part of TN where my aunt and uncle live, there are a lot of do-it-yourselfers, and a lot of people who could survive for long stretches of time all on their own.
My aunt and uncle are joining that crowd. 
They have 2 goats, 13 chickens, and 2 rabbits.
Actually, while we were there one of the rabbits gave birth to a litter of bunnies, so they have more than 2 rabbits now.
And they have a really large garden and their own water supply from a spring.
I got to spend some quality time with my brother Thomas, my sister Ginnie, and one of my adorable nephews, Jack. This is us, watching a movie.
We spent part of our time scavenging for rocks for this makeshift walkway. Nice, isn't it? It required more effort than you'd think, from looking at it.
I didn't realize what a city-girl I must be. It was nice to be out in the country... but things are hard out there! Suburban living is so convenient. I am glad to be home.
