As is usual with rural areas, there are biting bugs (mosquitoes, blackflies etc.) at times but keeping the front door closed at all times will help keep them outside. All the windows and the door have bug screens.
At times, there could be sounds of wild animals, dogs, birds, chainsaws, generators and tractors as is usual with a rural lifestyle.
Also there is a train that goes by twice a day and sometimes small planes fly over when there is an event at the small airport in our town.
You will hear birds, squirrels, chipmunks, our chickens & our rooster, wild turkeys, wolves, coyotes, owls, bear, moose, ravens, bobcats, farm animals & dogs.
While driving in our area, keep an eye out for moose, deer, bears, foxes, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, grouse and wild turkeys that may suddenly jump out in the middle of the road or garter snakes sunning themselves on the road.
