"The advantage of living on a farm is that cows and chickens don't come in and urge you to play bridge when you'd rather read."
~ Evan Esar, b. 1899. American humorist.
"Most of us who go to the country from a city background have some nostalgia for the old ways, even if it only manifests itself in a wagon wheel hung over the gate and an expensive field-stone fireplace and a deluxe edition of Walden on the coffee table."
~ John Graves, b. 1920. American writer.
Having spent our entire childhood on a farm in Southern Ontario, we frequently escape to the countryside for solitude. In fact, we still go home.
