@Kardamom My husband took a job in Florida. Where I live now it’s very quiet in my house, and it’s beautiful, palm trees, blue skies, even the shopping areas are very pretty, it’s just right behind my house it isn’t anything special, and there are houses right behind, but it is very quiet and pleasant. There is almost never someone else visible when I’m in my backyard. The person right behind us almost never in town and there are bushes between our back patios. To my right and left I can’t see the houses immediately next to me, because the house creates privacy around the patio.
It’s not so much having privacy though, the other house was special because of the nature. The rustle of the leaves in the summer when the wind blew, and the temperature was 7 degrees cooler on my property than over in town, and so many deer would come to my house, and especially the fawn would spend hours in my shade late in the afternoon.
Sometimes I think about buying a little house in the woods for vacation, or I guess I could just rent one for a week. If I ever get a vacation again.
