Early morning, warm horses, digging in the feed bins, tossing alfalfa hay
and mixing chopped alfalfa/molasses with horse granola (rolled oats, barley
and corn mixed with molasses). Almost as good as my flower boxes which have
sweet peas and stocks and growing underneath are old fragrant roses and
scented geraniums. Or walking out to our deck where all the herbs are
growing--lavendar, lemon balm, rosemary. Yum!!!!

> Mmmmm the smell of horse manure ... and of alfalfa hay!*You guys are all making me jealous. I keep trying to save up
to buy a farm - I have ALWAYS wanted to be a farmer, and ds wants to
be a farmer, too. DH won't put up with it. He prefers city
apartment life. One of these days, I'll get my way. Or at least
live near the country.

There are farms that will let you visit==one in Minnesota, right? Appealing
to homeschoolers?
Probably if you really worked for a while you'd get over your urge, and
that's even without the full responsibility for the yearlong crops and the
attendant (BIG) financial risks...

All the most wonderful smells in the world seemed to be mixed up in the air around them – the smell of roasting coffee and burnt sugar and melting chocolate and mint and violets and crushed hazelnuts and apple blossom and caramel and lemon peel. . . .

Who does NOT like the smell of manure when driving through a town with huge
dairy farms and stockyards. But a bit of small-farm animal smell is
nice... Sort of like the way a good tobacco shop smells wonderful, but
tobacco smoke doesn't.

Of course if we ever did get the opportunity to move out of town, she

probable have a *LOT* to say about it!!!!!

We technically live in a city now, if you count 30,000 a city but it is the
biggest city in this county. However, we have all kinds of ranches and
farms through out the city and deer, bear, raccoons, fox, skunks and various
and sundry other wildlife that wander the streets.
We are looking for a place in the boonies right now.
Don't give up hope, Melanie, it took me forever to "retrain" dh and now he
is even more rabid than I am about moving not only out in the boonies but
off the grid!

We had several stallions, 40 head of broodmares, the string of show horses,
young horses getting ready for sales plus we ran herefords (both polled and
horned), black baldies, Suffolk and Hampshire sheep and about 50 milk goats.
The kidlets were all into 4-H and FFA and each had several project animals
going. Yes, it was hard work and a real commitment but we still loved it,
hard work and all. In fact, I'd trade this for all the work in a hot tick.
I think that the love of those smells might be an indication of a love of
that kind of life even if you don't live that way at the time. Maybe it is
something one could use to judge with or not one should live in the country?
Love the smells and it works, don't mind the smells and it might work, hate
the smell and stay in the city <g>

My dd had a lot to say when we moved
from a city home in Massachusetts to ten acres in Tennessee. The nearest city is
18 miles away. We have been here a year and a half and she is warming up to the
idea.

Memories of the years taking riding lessons, some of the best I have! I
wonder if candles scented with Eau De Horse Poop would sell.

We don't actually live in the boonies, but close. We have lots of land around
us. We have horses, ponies, cats, dogs, chickens...(we used to have
goats(angora), and a pet Peacock named Peaky)
We spent at least two hours this afternoon waist deep (the kids) in mucky algae
water collecting salamander eggs and tadpoles, and peeper frogs. They are all
in an aquarium on the dining room table now! I wasn't wet but to the ankles,
but the the kids were soaked and very, very happy. This is true living, and I
wish I would have remembered to bring the video camera. They were some very
happy children today.
I feel very lucky that we have the chance to do this type of thing.
Yes, it was smelly, and yucky, and messy, and slimy ect.... but they had an
absolute blast, and it was "real".
Country life....you can't beat it!!!
Just my opinion.
