What You Get Living On A Farm In The Midwest

That I appreciate every single day

A wise person who I used to work with gave me an eye-opening perspective. He helped me identify what makes a living situation unique.

Everyone that purposely moved somewhere is going after something unique about that location.

This was someone who used to live in the hustle and bustle of city life to the Midwest. He expressed how each area has a certain quality that people enjoy.

Living on the east or west coast or even the islands provides you with beaches and spectacular views.

The city provides you with all kinds of conveniences of close-by restaurants, entertainment, employment, and travel.

The mountains also have advantages over other living situations. You have many outdoor activities to choose from including skiing, biking, hiking, rafting or simply enjoying the secluded fresh ambiance that mountain air can bring.

Moving to the Midwest has something that you can appreciate that some people may not realize, and that is, space.

Space equals freedom

In my eyes, space equals freedom, the freedom to saddle up and roam freely on your horse without a care in the world. I suppose that is how many people felt in the early days of moving out west.

Having space allows the freedom to let our kids roam free without the worry of traffic or disturbing close neighbors. My favorite is to ride our bikes together up and down our driveway or dirt road that leads to our mailbox near the entrance of our property.

Having space has allowed our friends to set up camp and experience nature around them, including a complete universe of stars at night, followed by a pancake breakfast the next morning in our living room.

Having space allows you to feel safe and not worry nearly as much about locking doors. The stargazing on the trampoline is incredible. The location is far from the glow of the city, which allows the night sky to come to life.

In May and June, thousands of fireflies glow and flicker throughout all angles of the property.

Animals bring peace

Each of our animals has brought peace and joy in its own unique way. Our twenty-plus-year-old mule has a calm and gentle presence. Our sheep love a good visit. Their gentle demeanor has a calming effect on you.

The cats follow me around like dogs. The quiet summer ambiance is therapeutic and healing to the soul.

One of my favorite experiences is when I fill up the water container. Our miniature pony will come up for a drink right out of the nose. On a hot day, I will sprinkle water on him and then he will roll in the dirt to create natural sun protection.

What you also get living on a farm

In the summer, you must have your riding mower in good working order. The consequences of not mowing end you up in an almost amazon looking jungle. The grass will be all-consuming and suddenly your space will have been compromised.
