Agritopia in Cottage Living

So every month I can't wait for my subscription of Cottage Living to arrive in the mail...I read it cover to cover the first day. Yesterday I get it in the mail and am excited to see that their annual "10 Best Neighborhoods" is in this edition. Open it up to see that our friends, the Ruffentine's, neighborhood is featured! Not only that, but Brian got a quote in..."We love living here because our house is close to the street, says Brian Ruffentine of the home he shares with his wife and three children. "There's a low fence line, and we're always talking to our neighbors or throwing a frisbee or watching the kids skateboard. We spend more time in our front yard than in our beautiful backyard." Nicely put Brian. 

The picture above didn't make it into the magazine, but it is on the cottage living site. 

I love them but I'm totally jealous and am going to make it my mission in life to get my neighborhood in there...
