It is so time consuming and tiresome. <BR/><BR/>I did not think your parents let the house go to ruin like that. They seem to be very smart with money. :)Sullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05282269151338562375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-29344679121257740922009-03-06T20:42:00.000-06:002009-03-06T20:42:00.000-06:00There was a very similar situation that just happe...There was a very similar situation that just happened on our farm yesterday. The horses were all excited and were staring into the woods across our creek into another field at some mysterious monster.<BR/><BR/>The monsters turned out to be 7 of our heifers that got out due to a downed limb on the fence from our recent snow storm! It is so funny that the horses are never even worried about the cows, until they are out of their place.:) It was quite an event around here getting them back in!<BR/><BR/>Great post!ZionFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09153703930637178562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-20570415594809807702009-03-06T18:23:00.000-06:002009-03-06T18:23:00.000-06:00Kate - yes, spring is officially here with the daf...Kate - yes, spring is officially here with the daffodils. Not to mention the awesome weather! I will freely admit I am a hothouse flower of the south. I just don't do well in cold weather. I know some people love it but I'm not one of them!<BR/><BR/>BET, I am 100% certain that a hackney horse going by would be of serious interest to the horses. We have enough deer that cross the farm that I don't know if they would be of interest anymore (unless of course they were being ridden, then of course it would be cause for fireworks!).<BR/><BR/>Sully, the house looked horrible when my parents bought the property about 17 years ago. the inside is just trashed. My dad did replace part of the roof thinking they might restore it one day but it is a huge project that none of us really have time for.<BR/><BR/>Meghan, your comment made me laugh! I told one of the Amy's that helps us today about the excitement she missed yesterday. She said she would have just had a heart attack and died in the pasture when she suddenly heard the screaming and the gunfire!<BR/><BR/>Kathleen, thank you for your very kind comments on my blog. I really appreciate it and it encourages me to keep blogging. It is always nice to know that someone actually enjoys reading what you write!Melissa-ParadigmFarmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274830693649851658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-39952596583560074702009-03-06T15:28:00.000-06:002009-03-06T15:28:00.000-06:00Yes, daffodils in full bloom, Bradford Pear trees ...Yes, daffodils in full bloom, Bradford Pear trees starting to bloom as well as forsythia starting.

I wish that all retirees could live in the lap of luxury like yours do!<BR/><BR/>You snapped some fabulous photos of the horses watching the SWAT team. I lost my 35-yr-old in January but he would have done exactly the same thing - snorting, blowing, prancing, spinning. Comical and gorgeous at the same time. <BR/><BR/>And I love the daffodils; I think Spring must be just around the corner. Fingers crossed!

Great post! I enjoyed it! We have coyotes that pass through our farm at night and our horses do that in their stalls. In the day time....deer cross over the property and they stand looking, other than that, we have no excitement to speak of like that! Oh yes, and an occasional hackney horse with rider goes by on the road...they love him! Oh no Daffodils here yet!LuLo Designs/Blue Eyed Tangohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18432986911571557592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-51261233809063023772009-03-06T05:26:00.000-06:002009-03-06T05:26:00.000-06:00Daffodils! sigh . . . we're weeks away from that y...Daffodils! sigh . . . we're weeks away from that yet.
