Fast forward a number a years. I am now an adult (obviously) and I still think of Green Acres, for one simple reason. My husband and I could be that couple - well, except I'm not as inept as she was. LOL!
My husband LOVES the country - or at least small towns. I prefer cities and could be happy living in a high-rise apartment overlooking skyscrapers.
Why am I telling you all of this? Well, just look...
New York!!!
This is a Penny Black image and my colors are mostly pastel. This is for Barb's Spring Penny Black Card Swap. I hope she likes this card as much as I do. (Sorry, I don't mean to brag, but I tend to be my own critic too often here on my blog... and for once, I really like my card, so I thought I'd just go ahead and say so.)
Green acres is the place for me.
Farm livin' is the life for me.
Land spreadin' out so far and wide
Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.
New York is where I'd rather stay.
I get allergic smelling hay.
I just adore the penthouse view.
Dah-ling, I love you, but give me Park Avenue.
... The chores.
... The stores.
... Fresh air.
... Times Square.
You are my wife.
Good-bye, city life.
Green Acres we are there.
