Okie, Must Be Something Going Around... - Page 2

Wow!  How beautiful.  I'm so happy for you!  Because of the farm and the implant!  So glad you are making your dreams come true.  You are so right about neighbors in the country vs those in town.  Are the maple trees the kind you can make syrup from the sap?  It just looks like a wonderful place.  Keep us updated.

Next summer I'm coming for a visit.............:)

Congratulations Sunsilver! Beautiful. I can't wait to get back to the country. Good for you for going out and getting what you want and not talking yourself out of it. After all the hard work is finished, you may just look around and say "Wow, why didn't I do this a long time ago?!" Again, congrats

cAN i HAVE A sIP OF THE WATER SUNSLIVER AND OKIE ARE DRINKING?

LOL!  Well, with the water I have in my current house, you'll certainly never suffer from an iron deficiency if you drink it! When I change the sand filter on my water pump, the stuff that comes out of the bottom of the pressure tank looks like tomato soup!

Yes, those trees are the type you can get maple syrup from. This is really maple syrup country here. Lots of the locals make syrup in the spring for a little cash income.

The trees also provide very valuable maple veneer and wood for furniture. So valuable, that someone has actually pirated 18 of the trees from the woods already!    So, it's a good thing we're planning to cut them before any more disappear!

I may run some cattle, and sheep as well. I'd like to be as self-suffcient as possible, and will probably get a milk cow or cows as well as some young steers to fatten for beef. It's going to be fun finding out if my GSD's switch on to herding. Star definitely has strong prey drive, so I'll have to watch her carefully around livestock. Oh, and I also see a Shioh Shepherd puppy in my near future, as well as another German Shepherd or two...   But a lot of work will have to be done before I have an actual kennel, as opposed to a chicken coop, which will do for housing dogs at night, but not much else.
 
As for the wood, the house has no furnace. There's an old cook stove in the kitchen, and a wood stove in the livingroom. There are also high efficiency baseboard heaters as backup for the wood stoves. So, yeah, it will be more than just 2 cords of wood....

Ooops!

looks like a piece of paradise! congratulations and good luck with the implant! all those acres.......sigh...

Wow!  You must be so excited, and maybe a little apprehensive, but it will all  work out!  Congratulations!  It is beautiful, aaand has 4 bedrooms soooo  GSD PDatabase party at Sunsilvers house! 
How I would love 100 acres!  Horses and GSD's galore!  What fun!

. Triodegirl, did you get a new fuzzy puppy?

Bring your horse, and we'll go riding, Red Sable!

That's anothe dream of mine: I've always wanted to go back to riding, after being away from it for many years. One of the places I looked at last week had horses, and they were crowding around me as I inspected the pasture and stables, and that wonderful, horsey aroma just made me want a horse again SO BAD!

Soon, maybe, soon...     There was this one dark bay mare I really liked the looks of, and the horses were for sale as well as the property.
