Today was our trial date with a judge to hear our neighbor's complaint about why we should not have our cows, should not be able to do light agricultural activities, etc. on our property.
And a HUGE weight has been lifted. The judge said I have to look at this how a NORMAL MAN would look at it, not how your would look at it Mr. ___, and I believe that a NORMAL MAN would feel that they are NOT a commercial business and their cows ARE NOT obnoxious or offensive to residential use (emphasis added based on the Judge's tone of voice during that statement).
So we will not be having to sell cows, Jessie can keep her 4-H projects with no problems, and we can keep doing what we love to do. Which is work awfully darned hard most days.
I'll be the brunette doing a booty dance around the property line if you happen to be driving by:) So don't be alarmed!
And now I'm off to clean my house really, really good.....the kids left the basement door open yesterday and there was a RAT in the house this morning. I am embarassed to say I screamed like a girl when I saw it, and jumped up on the table. But Todd came to the rescue with his 22. Tyler's cat and the 2 barn cats were absolutely no help at all. They are entirely too well fed.....
I'll be back to visit you all later,
Kris

That's great about the Judge finding for you in the dispute. Hopefully you can put all this behind you now.
as for the rat, I'd be on your shoulders girl before you realised I was there. Snakes and spiders, no problem, rats and mice BIG problem. Just thinking about them brings me out in a cold sweat

Glad for your good news!
Rats and guns go hand and hand; at least at our place they do! We have killed many a rat with a gun in the past!
Congratulations to you guys! I'm so glad you keep to keep your extra babies around. I love seeing the pics of them and hearing about your farm life. Totally selfish reasoning, I know, but hey... I AM truly happy for you guys!
What great news . . . . maybe Todd could take a video of that dance to post on the blog for those of use who may not be driving by *s*
Have a great celebration!
Hip Hip Hooray! It is always a good day when common sense wins over!

Congratulations on the win! I know that it is such a great relief not having to worry about the trial now. I think you might have to do a couple dances around the property line!
Great news about the trial! I'm so happy for you!
And, did he shoot a .22 in the house? Yikes.
