[quote=Anonymous]This is my husband's dream, too, and we live it in part--in that we have a second home in the country (on three acres). What's good about it: I love being out of the city in the summer, it's really nice to spend a lot of time outdoors and live at a slower pace for some of the year, and we can take interesting day trips from them that we wouldn't be able to do from DC. What I don't love: as others have noted, taking care of 3 acres and hobby gardening is a lot of work. Yes, it's satisfying to eat food you've grown, but it's definitely easier to just go to a farm market and buy what you want. I find it very hard to find friends/community in a rural setting, where I must drive to everything, there are no good restaurants, bookstores, coffee shops, never mind the readings, lectures and music I'm used to here. (Covid aside.) My husband would love to live there full time, but I'm ready to come back after two months, so I guess we're lucky we can manage both and also that we don't mind spending time apart once in a while. Definitely try before you commit, OP.[/quote]
