Still is cold, more snow tonight/tomorrow... 
Taking our 2nd gander at the 20 acres this evening http://www.reindiana.com/homes-for-sale/14971-E-400-N-Burnettsville-IN-47926-237346004
And this morning got an email abouta 46 acre property with 2 pole barns, and house... in our county, though still a 20 minute drive for DH... it's of course at the top of our estimated amount we can afford.... got to love decisions. sent information on to Mom. but with her place not selling yet... not sure we should see it.
Horses got their hooves trimmed and a quick grooming. All got tied for an hour or so. Remmy hasn't been tied too often. Worked on leading him too. Took pics of the fuzzy ponies.

Nice looking property. Built in the 50s and only one bath though... I mean I was raised with 4 siblings in a 1 bath home, so yeah, it can be done. That looks like one huge pasture! Love the shop bldg too.

So still no further towards deciding...
House while is livable needs work... the outdoor woodburning furnace is homemade, while the floors are good and solid, there has been repairs in past. And a bit of foundation concerns in one corner. Electric is a mix of old and new... hard to say if someone could even get a loan for it.. It's nothing that can't be fixed DH does not want to attempted to do major up grades again after our last house...and he still stuck that it's too far... Oh and agent told us that sellers aren't wanting to negotiate much. but that field and pole barn....the idea of better opportunities for the kids.... Anyways going to work on housing idea prices for Mom. Our agent is off this weekend so we can talk more this weekend. Praying Mom gets some interest on her place too... that would help us make decisions if we know what we have to work with $ wise.
In the meanwhile we're out of cut firewood... which means our house is cold!!! (I REALLY want to move!)
Kids had their 1st bb practice on their new team... no girls for Jocelyn and John still doesn't want to be on her team.... and found out this week Jocelyn COULD now play on the 8U softball..... so neither of my kids are where I would have them... but feeling kind of stuck...paid our $ and all that. between John's stupid coaches and a softball league that opens up their team at the VERY last minute.

I am thinking you may be right Wehner. Things will just fall in place when it happens.
Got the last of our hay picked up. Hoping we will have a place to store it at home next year...every time we went to get DH has been sick... plus the insulation in our friends barn is fall down...on my hay....so lots of picking through it and can't save the loose hay... oh well am greatful.
Bunnies are doing well, 34 kits so far, another doe due this week.
she's nesting. And the sun is shining 
got some of my ornamental grass all trimmed. Working in the garden tomorrow.

So I there's another property available... 46 acres, smallish 1976 ranch home, 2 30x50 pole barns(no concrete, or lights??) just the buildings... some fencing. it's in a decent locale for what we want, might be a bit busy of a road. BUT it's more $ than we were hoping to spend... do we look at it, maybe they'd split 25ish acres?? This would be much easier if Mom's was getting looked at.
I did sign Jocelyn up for softball... a friend's daughter is on the team. We also have decided that John and Maizy just aren't getting along well enough... they both love to play and she's MY dog. So John will do a poster instead of showing her this year. Makes me relieved, 1 less meeting to go to and I won't worry about her biting someone. She's nipped twice at people.. of course in my opinion you greet dogs before you go trying to get them to set up, ect... I just can't be by their side every second and don't really trust the other people not to "jump" in to help John. They mean well but made us very nervous knowing she does nip when provoked. She's a great dog with her family... others not so much.
