You will seldom find snakes where there are hogs. They will kill them, poisonous or not. When we had hogs, the snake population just disappeared. But it is an established fact that hogs will kill snakes. So that ought to make it better for your kids and their safety in the yard.

So the offer of moving into the house and having 5 acres is to "give it to you" ???? Legally and all? Will that mean that you will not have a mortgage or any kind of loan payment? If so, then figure what it will take for you to be able to survive and pay the bills. Then you and your husband can make the decision of what kind of job he needs to be able to provide for a decent living. Not having to make a big mortgage payment can really offer you options in income "needs and wants"....

My dh grandparents (without us talking about it or asking) offered him their current house and five acres they thinking about moving to a retirement home because of grandpa's health issues. he has Parkinson's and dementia and has been going down hill. he kept falling the other day so there that.
I'm not you but I think I'd jump on a free house on 5 acres and find a job close enough that I like well enough. One can always change jobs later. And property with a connection to my grandparents would be super sweet.

I'm glad they are planning to move now before he gets even worse. Moving is hard, it is harder for older people and harder still for people with dementia. The sooner the better.

Thanks for coffee!
Got bunnies all tattooed, and decisions made which Polish stay and go.
Today we'll get feed and groceries.
Have a great Friday

Would you pick up a few things for me while you're at the grocery store? I got animal feed last week. Grocery store was right next door. Just hate grocery shopping. Last time I went was Dec 4th. But its raining all day today so can't do much outside. Guess I shouldn't put it off any longer.

Thanks for the coffees. We’re having oatmeal again this morning. Then going outside to shovel out the Sheep barn and lot. Got a load of sheep poop on the mule, mule parked in garden. It started drizzling yesterday late afternoon so we quit. Today, more shoveling!

Actually my feed store is literally in the middle of nowhere, a friend started a feed store in her pole barn...but it can be on the way to the grocery store. So that's a good reason to do both on the same day. I'll probably do a "pick up" for groceries, order it online then just show up and they bring it out. (I hate shopping also.)
