Views of the farm

OK I know some of you are kinda' curious about the Farm we just moved to, So I thought I'd post a few pics. All are taken from the house and back pasture,but you can see the road if you look close in a couple of the pics. This Farm needs a LOT of work. Today we did some fencing and moved some of the horses to the back pasture. So I grabbed the camera and took it along.Here we go....
The House.

Way cool!!!!! Congratulations. Which direction do the windows face?

And....Tell your neighbor to put her tail down when the pictures are being taken. That's not very lady like.

Man...what a great view! Now that's a place for those boys to grow up!
I'm really happy for ya, poco.:clap:

Poco, you are blessed my friend. What I wouldn't give to own a piece of land like that. The kids will grow up in a great envronment for sure. Congrats again!!! Is there fish in that little pond?

looks like your own little personal piece of heaven Poco!

You noticed!!! She took a leak right after I snapped the pic!! LOL Only you Rick.:no:I shoulda' known!!
The windows face North in the sunroom/living Room/Den Whatever you want to call it LOL. Looking back at the house to take the pic I was facing south. If you look in the one where you can see the old Arena, past that is the trailer, then the Barn, then the road. So we are situated well off the road. If you go to photobucket under my Pocomoonskyeyes acct.in the "Farm Album" there are more pics. I think 26 in all. The back pasture is east and the Barn is west.

Outstanding looking place Poco.

Just wait 'till the snow covers those hills. The boys will have a ball sledding.

Thank you everybody. It ain't fancy,but then neither am I. The house looks much better since I chopped down all the weeds that were surrounding it. If you look at the picture of the back pasture where Dottie is sitting down. You can still see some of the damage from last winters Ice Storm. One whole side of a tree is down in the back pasture, But My Chainsaw needs to go in the shop before I try that monster!! I may even have to get a bigger chainsaw. The house was originally a concession stand for the "Arena" where they held Barrel Racing Events. It has been added on to and probably will have more added on to it in the future. First things First though, Gotta' get it up in good shape first. There hasn't been phone, cable, or internet service here for 5 years until we moved in. The sunroom is where I am sitting at this very moment. Even if it is on the wrong side of the house to be called a "sunroom". LOL

It's beautiful poco,congrats to you,equus and the boys!

It already is judging from picture number three.

Nice Property, congratulations, great views.

You'll learn to love that north facing room. A south facing room with those windows can be a benefit in winter but hotter than heck in the summer. That same room facing north doesn't get that late afternoon sun so it's very comfortable sitting out there. My sun room is on the north side of the house and I'm pretty happy with it there.

Maybe not as pretty as yours Hope, But it sure is relaxing,first thing in the morning with my cup of coffee. It really helps put a person in the "right frame of mind" to start a day. Just knowing that I am on the SAME property as my horses means a lot in itself. I think I would have settled for a barn with a big enough loft to make an apartment in. Dottie/Equus is more relaxed now that we are out of Town and with her "Other babies" the horses. I think she could live in the remotest of places as long as she had her critters. I think she would be happy living on the moon as long as she had family and her Fur family too. She would have to be a MUCH better prepper to live there though. LOL Lots of work to do though. I know a little of how you feel now.

Very nice congrats on the move. There goes any "lazy moments" you may have had :)

That's so cool! Nothing beats having your own private paradise :) You're lucky you can keep animals there. I do envy you that. Pats to the horses and a "moo" to the neighbours!
And I'd use the pool for swimming...

Congratulations, so when is the rendezvous? A little camping, a little painting, brush clearing, fence building.... more camping....

heh.. you keep saying it ain't all that, but it's 10x nicer than my house with 20x more land. Looks super to me. I'd love to live there. It looks like a little piece of heaven. Congratulations Mel! I know you guys will love it once you get settled in.

Congratulations, I hope you'll both be very happy in your new home. It looks wonderful.

Poco, you've got yourself a magic place! A true balm for the soul.
It's wonderful even if you didn't do a thing to it but sit with your coffee and gaze at the fields and the critters.
But it's nice that you'll never run out of things to do and you'll always have a project to look forward to. Don't know if there's anything better than working your very own land.

This reminded me of you:

Oh that is just too funny BENNESSE. One of our foals is actually named Maggie!!! Maggie is the black foal in this picture,The solid Black mare is "Mama" or Dam to her and the black and white mare. My Stallion is sire or "Dad" to both of them. The Sorrel and white Foal is out of my Stallion and a mare we had. This picture was taken yesterday in the back pasture after we repaired fences to turn them out back there.
The reason I say this farm isn't all that, is we are the house that brings the neighbors property value down. Everyone has nicer houses and barns around us. But I like it! I am trying to figure out where the chicken coops,and Gardens will be. There is a LOT of planning to be done, followed by a LOT of work. Pal said it. There goes all my "Lazy time".... Sleeping late means 7 AM! LOL 5 AM is usual wake up. That gives me an hour to wake up before getting started. I still have to go and feed horses this AM.
Anyway this is the pic I was referring to about "Maggies Farm".Second from left is Maggie. Left to Right: Sun Dee Cutter(Dee), Maggie(After one of her famous Grand Dams Dam), Caddo(after the Caddo Indians) and MW Sky Cutter (Cutter). So it is Dee, Maggie Caddo, And Cutter.

Poco, that's fantastic! I'm happy, happy, happy for you and the family! :clap: That's a view that's gotta' look great no matter what the weather is.

Soon, you'll be planting that garden, raising that livestock, and waiting for the Federal Express truck to show up every week to pick up all the samples you'll be sending to Q.C. :innocent:

the farm looks so nice , doesn't matter if it is not fancy, it is still pretty and I really like it. I don't like fancy things any how.

Poco, what a beautiful bunch!
I know, a lot of work but... I'd hazard a guess that working your land and raising your critter family is more gratifying than a lot of things you can do. I've done it on a much smaller scale and to this day I remember how good it felt to put in a day of hard, back breaking work and sit back at dusk with a cold beer and enjoy the results.

And as far as your farm bringing the rest of the property down, well, it just shows you've invested well. It won't be like that forever.

I would rather look at it as theirs are the properties adding value to yours. Truely a nice place, that IS all that. Enjoy!

Looks very nice Poco! Be thankful for the fences. They are a bear to put up! Looks like you have a great new start. Do you plan on the farm being a farm or just for the horses? Do you have other plans? I think you mentioned chickens?

beautiful spread you've got.

i bet you get some nice mushrooms and greens in such a setting.

Looks good to me poco. Nice!

Great Place! I didn't read the number of acres, but I'll go back up and read it again. A good place to build a better life. Glasgow KY is one of the nicest smaller towns I have seen, with good acreage and farms all around it. I've been there often and have friends with farms in the area. You did good.
Solar Panels and Marine Battery bank, then an inverter will get you off the grid. Well-water is sweet in KY because of all the limestone.
