Last week was another great week for the #ReasonsRuralRocks trend. Here's the Top Ten:
10. Got to drive the tractor today! @CircleBalpacas
9. Blood pressure returning to normal after a weekend in the city. @onepercentyello
8. The light outside your window at 3am is the moon, not a flashy billboard. @KendraKerrigan
7. Endless country road trips for me and my Harley-Davidson! @SandraSchwab
6. u know skinny dipping at the lake is not a big deal because u know nobody is going to see u. @Boxofsunshine77
5. Efficient, elitist, educated, essential, elegant, and emergent (from My 5+ Reason Rural Rocks) @GardenVariety
4. Make your own free parking - anywhere you want. @tomjordinson
3. Zero chance of encountering people who are in a hurry - haste has no place here. @monicambailey
2. My child calls half the community Aunty or Uncle. It takes a village to raise a child. @jbatiuk
1. Spent 20 mins. helping a stranger get unstuck and 45 mins. leaning on a tailgate talking like we have been best friends. @greggjack
I'd love to hear some feedback; which reason resonates with you? Thanks to everyone who shared #ReasonsRuralRocks last week. If you'd like to join in the conversation, share your reasons here or get on Twitter, use the hashtag, and let me @sherbani know why you love rural.
great blog and congrats on starting a thing.
ReplyDeletemy reason rural rocks for today is that coming in to work we saw a nice rainbow and stopped to take it in
a. we could see it since we weren't just watching the bumper of a car in front of us
b. we could see it because our view was not obstructed
c. we could could stop and not have to get out of or hold up traffic
what do we all see every day that we should stop and take in and not take for granted?
oh and one more reason rural rocks: the sun comes in your window early in the morning because you can leave your curtains open (if you even have any curtains)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments, Gregory. One thing that I've been noticing a lot more (and taking for granted a lot less) are the spectacular colours of rural. The sunsets this past week have been stellar and the colours of harvest are breathtaking.
