It's Nothing Personal
We don't let much of anyone else hunt here either. There are about six people, including immediate family, who get to pursue the wily whitetail in our fields and woods. They know and respect our rules, our animals, the wildlife, and firearms safety. Plus, we've told you before....several times.... Other than that we just prefer to keep it quiet and as safe as we can out there. We like to walk the farm roads and fool with ponies and let our little one run tame around the buildings with her lambs and birds. Our cows are out there and we are pretty fond of them too. So, thanks for stopping by to ask, driving right past the posted sign, terrorizing the dog and turning your horse and wagon around on the lawn, but, sorry, no....
People always get miffed when we say NO to many things like that. They say, "it's just us." But it's just them and the five others that stopped that week.
Nita, people are shocking sometimes. We have had so many stop and ask to go through our house, because it looks unique and you can see it from the Interstate. Seriously?? What could they be thinking? That we give guided tours of the unfolded laundry and puppy papers? They boggle my mind lol
Linda, gotta be.
Cathy, yeah, I was so afraid their horse would stomp on Alan's car. He is pretty fussy about it and would not like horse-shaped dents I suspect. Their intrusion into the misery of my year-end bookkeeping was not so very welcome.
