Oh....i LOVE all the things you have described here!! The only differences for me are...i have to have curtains...LOL..they just make me feel more secure..and the soybean and milk thing...i can't do those things...although i CAN get fresh things out of the garden in the summer...YUM! Nothing beats corn on the cob and fresh green beans...although i can my green beans and we freeze the corn so we can enjoy it in the winter...it is soo wonderful!!!

I just adore my clothesline...i think having clothes hanging out is such a wonderful sight!!

Oh..and i don't have a train that i can see either...but that is so awesome that you do! :) The list you made is beautiful! I love every item on it!

Hope you have a great Valentines day! :)
