Our neighbors had a large farm with a daudy house (old german and dutch term for a smaller house for the grandparents located near the main family home). They tried to sell it all together but that did not work. So, they split off a large amount of farm land, and the neighbor in the back bought it. Then they split off the grandparents house with 5 acres, and the sign now says there is a contract pending on it. That leaves the main house with 20 acres and a landscaped fishing pond still for sale. This spring we got two new neighbors to the east of us. We are about to be the old timers out here. I tried to use the zillow thing to see if they lowered their prices any (houses have been listed a very very long time), but they do not show up.

We had a heifer that ran off to seek her fortune some time back. She reappeared yesterday--someone put her into our horse arena. We knew where she was, but DH hasn't had a day off in almost 2 weeks in order to go and get her. But, she is back now. We still have not figured out how she got out of our pasture into the neighbors, but, he may have fixed the fence. (repairs are the responsibilty of each of us). It would be nice if she met up with a nice bull while out on her adventure.

I still have not turned on the furnace, although I will probably tomorrow evening to give it a test run after I change the filters. I don't want to wait until we have to have it and discover it has a repair issue.

Never left the house today, other than to put out the flag. So, no money spent and no fuel used.
