If you have
chickens in your backyard you might live in the country.
If you have
horses in your backyard you probably live in the country.
If you have cows
and emus in your
backyard,
you definitely live in the country.

WE SURE HOPE SO!!! :)
Moo!
What a cute post.
One can have chickens in downtown Austin... but not in the sort of suburbs where I live. Pity, I always enjoyed hearing a rooster crow to waken me when I lived on 6th Street in Austin.
Cool photos!
Are these guys hanging out in your neighborhood Ellen?
Yep. Also- if you have a trailer in your side yard you might live in the country. Or be a redneck. We are thinking that moving a double wide into the back yard for Lily and Jason and Owen and the new baby might solve a lot of problems. Might create a few too, though.
How about if you have a turtle living in your backyard?
Ms. Moon - the trailer was a given. Actually I almost included a picture of a trailer but decided to stick to the animals.
Or, in suburbs that allow you to have animals.
If so, you are definitely lucky.
I'd love to live in the country. But I did see four deer in my backyard, by the stream, today. :)
LOL - I love that! Our neighbor had a chicken for a while, but we definitely DON'T live in the country. Fortunately Mike drives through it to go to work so I can look at pictures of it :)
What if you have RV trailers in your back yard? Emus scare me!
Emus! Their eggs are enormous.
I have neighbors with chickens and horses in their back yards. Does that count?
I acutally used to live in Thousand Oaks California where our neighbors had chickens and the other neighbors had peacocks. The chickens would get into our fenced front yard and then forget how to jump out. That was frustrating.
i've always lived in the city - several of them - i know nothing of the joys and privations of country life. i feel as if i've missed out on something!!! steven
Ha! You are so clever.
I guess I live in the country...nice shots.
Yup all country here,(except the Emus.)I hear they are good eating...
Wish I had them all, I so enjoy watching them. I went to a glass studio in Omaha over the weekend,Hot Works is a collection of artists.
Love the photos!!
And if you have a cow...Ha...I am sure your neighbors like that you live in the country!

Or in San Leon! Well, I suppose by most definitions San Leon is in the country - likewise Bacliff, Dickinson and such.
I wish there were chickens around. I love a rooster crowing in the morning. I had a pet rooster once, but he landed on the Sunday dinner table because of a propensity to crow 24/7.
Here in Eugene, you can have two dogs and/or any number of cats. You can also keep birds (including chickens), fish, amphibians, and reptiles (as long as they're non-native). But no pot-bellied pigs, which seems bizarre given that they're less trouble and less annoying to you neighbors than some of the other animals I've mentioned.
I always enjoy your photos.
And if you have emus in the backyard you probably live somewhere on the other side of the world from me! :)
I am so a-mooooosed.. emused.. or something. :)
I definitely live in the country, because I get fresh eggs every morning from my chicks :)
