I am not a city girl just a small town girl. I am a country girl but not a farm girl. My favorite address is a numbered county road far from street lights, stop lights and too many headlights. The city can keep their services. I do just fine with a septic tank and water well. City friends of mine look at me with wide eyes and furroughed brows "Aren't you afraid out there by yourself?" Well I do keep an eye out for rattlesnakes and I shake my boots to dump out the scorpions each morning. I keep my gate closed so the occational solicitor and Jehova Witness ladies do not waste their time on this broke, Jesus loving, preacher's daughter. I am by myself but I never feel alone. The night sky twinkles with friendly stars. Moonshine is my most favorite form of light. That sort of blue mystical glow illuminates so brightly during a full moon no flashlight needed. I call my 100 pound dog inside so momma skunk and her cute babies can hunt insects in peace.
Day is done, gone the sun on my small world. Good night friends. Sweet dreams. kisses
