| Mowing the lawn! |
One of the best things about living out here in the state forest is that you can basically do what you want without neighbors complaining. We have no neighbors, at least no full time ones. Most of the houses around us are hunting camps. We like it that way!
This past week we have started letting our three horses out in our yard to mow the lawn. They do a very good job. They even trim around my stone bed that I have potatoes planted in and they don't nibble on the plants. It's pretty strange to be sitting in the house working on my laptop and look up and see a horse looking in the window. I think they must have always wondered what we do in the house. My horse, Georgie Girl has always paid a lot of attention to the house. Even where she lived before moving here I would see her looking over the fence at the house. She is extremely smart and is the "boss mare" so I am not surprised if she wonders about such things.

By letting them out in the yard every morning we have been able to cut back on their hay. Now they are not get the morning hay and don't seem to care. They just want that fresh grass. Their paddock doesn't have any due to it having been part of the forest. This year some has started growing for the first time. So it saves us money.
The big savings is that we don't have to buy gas or oil for the lawnmower. Or waste that time mowing when we can be working on the computer. We have never had good luck with a lawnmower. Seems like they always break down. Even when you buy a good one. They rarely last for a few years. So maybe we will never replace them!
