Why we live where we live

Alabama USA is green and lush from March till November, we do have 4 seasons. We have plenty of water, rivers lakes, ponds and creeks.North Alabama has the high mountains as well as the flat land down south to the gulf of Mexico. Its home right now and I have not decided where I will retire.

sounds'n 'xcellent choice 'ndeed! we're 'pposed to've 4 distinct season here, but alas such's not been so 'xcept sporadically fer quite some years. i could dribble my reasons fer where i reside, but i fear plum laziness :)

My son was my parents first grandchild and as soon as they found out that I was pregnant they started trying to get my husband and I to move here. When my son was two we decided to leave the city and give the country a try. It was a great decision. I'm more of a city girl, but this was a wonderful place to raise our son and he not only had his grandparents, but all of my siblings and their families too. We have been here 23 years this month.

Great photo. I live where I am because I cant afford to move easily.

I think you made the right decision with that.

The picture is amazing. I'm.glad you like the place.

Because I'm stupid that's why! lol. Actually, years ago while living in the DC area..we took a trip down here..and I loved the area because the lake was beautiful and sparkling in the sunshine..and the water was warm..almost like a bathtub. I didn't know at the time, it was due to being a cooling chamber for a nuclear plant..anyway, it was very appealing. Other counties that border the lake are more civilized than this one though..and have lots more services.

Such a beautiful, deep discussion. We are born in a world where we knowest not the situation, and yet we accept the circumstances of our birth, Comes a time, for many, to search for greener pastures, or make a journey to the land of milk and honey. Yet, for many others, the simplicity of life is a choice, so we look for something serene. As you did. I am for your choice,

You have made a lovely choice. My home was a result of conflict with family forcing me to move, and though I wanted to stay in my birth city, Manchester, getting a house was near impossible there but friend helped get me the flat in Preston, a city I have grown to love in its own right.

That sounds like a nice place to live.

That is a beautiful photo. I know what you're saying about the seasons. It is taking me a long time to get used to living in Florida because I don't really see much of a change of seasons.

Do you not have a spring or just a short lived spring?

I like the changing of the seasons the way we had it up north. Down here in Florida it is pretty much the same year round,, or so it seems to me. I am glad you are living in the area you wish to live.

There are places wher we would like to live for all the good features of the area. That shoy looks beautiful!

Beautiful shot. I stayed where I have lived since I was 10, the weather here is rarely drastic and so far I haven't heard of any tornado, blizzard, earthquake or volcano warnings ...... I'm far too far away from the ocean to worry about hurricanes but we do get sand storms that can be somewhat scary.

I would also dislike to live in a place with only two seasons. We choose this place for many reasons, the 4 seasons, it is a safe and quiet place, they speak our mother language here.

That was a wise decision to stay in a place with 2 autumns, amazing!

I love autumn with its many beautiful colors. Nice picture. I live here because I was born here. I did have a choice whether to move back here when we got out of the Navy, and I chose to return home to my roots. Unlike other places I've lived, Wisconsin has all four seasons. Though I'm not a fan of summer, it would be strange not to have it, or spring and fall. Though you know winter is my favorite season when it comes to color, autumn gets that place, hands down. I love when spring makes an appearance. The fresh green leaves on the trees are beautiful compared to the full green of summer. Summer does have its merits, not many as I'm not one inclined to heat, but it is nice to keep the heat turned off and keep the utility bill down in summer. I love seeing all the flowers of summer. It is beautiful. If I could have summer without the heat and the pesky insects, it would be a great season too.

You have good reasons to live there. I live where I grow up, I would prefer to live near the beach but here I have my family close. I love the photo.

That's Wise We chose to live 10kms away from our previous place as all our known, relatives and friends live nearby
