How often do you see beautiful yards when you are out driving? How often do you actually see someone out enjoying those beautiful yards? Glad you can take the time to enjoy!
Thanks, that really means a lot, considering how much of a mess the place was when we bought it. Wife and I put in a lot of hard work into cleaning the place up, including garbage mountain. Which if I had known it was there hidden in shoulder high weeds, I would have had removal written into the contract.
I followed FarmerJan's advise about bush hogging the pastures before the weeds seed but after the grasses seed (it has much to do with timing). This really helped rejuvenate the pastures with editable grasses and clovers. All I can say is, @FamerJan is very smart, I'm glad she is willing to share her knowledge. It's still a work in progress, but I'm starting to feel a lot better about putting grazing hooves in the pastures now.
As for enjoying the outside, well it's just a natural thing to do when the weather's nice. And it also helps that my wife tells the childern to "Go outside and get fresh air"
We did have a bit of a snake scare. Junebug came running up to me said she saw a snake. I said what color is it? She said black with white circles. I said you mean white lines that circle it's body? She said how did you know? I said that's a King Snake a good snake, it eats other bad snakes. So just leave it alone, OK?. She said OK and that was that. I've seen several common king snakes on the property. I just leave them alone to do their snake thing. I'll only kill a snake, if it has a triangle head.
Common, King Snake, internet image - for reference. Timid and un-agressive, usually quickly get away from you.

We have their 3 dogs too.
