We've lived in West Virginia for six years, renting a house on 23 acres this whole time. "Our" house has its quirks, like no toilet in the basement bathroom, but a urinal instead. (You read correctly!) It has, however, been a terrific blessing for us. What were the "chances" of renting a house on 23 acres in the country, where we could keep our three horses.

We've been searching for a house for a couple of years, but they are few and far between. Well, we've finally found a house on six acres! We've got a contract on it and are proceeding with jumping through all the appraisal and inspection hoops.

Our new house

I set out to do a self-portrait with my favorite equine. All of the photos with me in them came out terribly. This horse is very inquisitive and quite friendly. This picture reflects his personality. He's one of the reasons we need a house on acreage.

Tall, dark, and handsome

There is a government facility in my area that is located on 600 acres. The locals jokingly call it a wildlife refuge because it's a secure facility. A new hospital has just opened nearby and there is a large field in front of it. Apparently the grass was greener there on this particular day. This is only about half the flock! I tried to be unobtrusive, but they began to wander away as I approached.
