Hill House, Breezy Hill, Five Cats Farm, Four Winds Farm?
I find myself this year at age 53. I am in the middle of Iowa, in the country. I do not drive and our road turns to mud when it rains, so I stay put often. Countryside is pretty, but I was city raised and feel totally out of my element after living in a small town with sidewalks from age 18 until 50.
Many nights I hear coyotes very close to the house, such a lonesome sound. Sometimes I startle a very large possum in the old barn or garage lean-to. Lots of wildlife for this quiet country ...

I am pleased that finally this year my yard has bird's foot trefoil growing in it! The bright yellow flowers bloom all summer & it has became my favorite volunteer plant in my yard next to purple sweet clover.
I am doing my best to realize this is a good time to focus on my health and not circumstances. I mostly use wii fit and exercise videos since the road is not too safe for walking.
I 'just' have enough internet here for video streaming and for that I am grateful! Another half mile out, and I would have been internetless!
I enjoy the blogs and the other over 40's people with the same goal - getting healthier.
I like all the resources on this site, but especially all the like minded people that really understand working toward fitness and health.
I tend to fall off the course but then get back on, over and over. I really miss being in good shape.
Living in a much smaller home has helped me pare down my possessions, though I am still working on that as the barn has lots of goodies in it waiting for the right home. I am so out of my element here! But I keep a smile on my face and a thankful heart. Most days.
