Loners

I love quiet mornings (no radio or TV or family blabbing around me), quiet walks, or hikes through wooded areas or to a vacant beach with the dog. I used to love having a few beers sitting in the dying hours of summer sunlight in my backyard, with all 3 dogs and 4 cats hanging around. I lived in a rural area for about 12 years, but am now stuck back in suburbia, and I hate it. I miss hearing the neighborhood dogs all howling at night, and seeing the neighbors chickens, and peacocks fly over the fence to safely wander my yard, the sounds of the frogs in my pond singing at night..... I could go on but it would get depressing when I look around at what I have to deal with now.
