Welcome to the Country is a collection of humor columns
written by humorist Charity Maness from '09 through '12. Each column pokes fun at the country life as
seen through the eyes of city girl transplant.
Welcome to the Country is a humorous look at life in the
country, from cow pie bingo to rocky mountain oysters, to the random collection
of tractors in our yards that we proudly refer to as yard art. Luckily for us,
those rusty old tractors, discarded comodes
bursting with wildflowers, and windmills squeaking in the breeze, have put us
country folk on the cutting edge of 'eco art'. Who would have guessed?

My first clue that I had moved to the country was a
pageantry of bovine beauties parading across a four lane highway halting
traffic for miles. As I stared in wonder at the 'fragrant' display before me, my eyes sadly drifted to the beautiful new Manolo
heels adorning my feet, wondering just where in the country I would ever wear
them. I soon learned they were useless for mucking stalls and tastier to a country dog than an old rawhide bone.
Many more lessons followed on the heels - no pun intended -
of my first introduction to the country life.
Not one to turn from an adventure I learned to embrace the
country lifestyle wholeheartedly. My first
order of business... a shopping trip for new duds (aka Wranglers and Ariats) country style haute
couture here I come.
Author Charity Maness lives in the Northern California
Foothills with her many children, animals, and husband of 25 years.
