The Chestnut Beauty up the hill......

Next to our house is a really really long driveway. It should be named a street b/c it is almost 1/2 mile long. Living on the land on the way top of the hill to the two homes in a beauty of a horse. The horse has not been out for a while since the rains and we wondered where it could be? I do not know if it is male or female. We are very friendly people but do not have any contact but a freindly wave from a passing car to our neighbors. I was once stopped by the "new" people who built one of the houses up that hill and was asked about my "pet turkeys" YUP MY PET turkeys//////NOT..........I explanied to the women in the hugh bright yellow Hummer that they are wild and since we built 5 years ago they have always been around. Some nights in the summer they come on the front stairs and take a flyin leap to the trees and sleep there at night. So that is about all I ever said to the Hum V driving neighbor. I know the horse is very well taken care of. It always has nice "clothes" on in the winter and has a shed looking thing half way up the hill. We walked up there once before the construction was complete on Thanksgiving a year ago with the family and have not been up since b/c private way is posted at the bottom. Our yard is used often by the two children who live up there when the school bus leaves them off. I guess it saves them 1/4 of mile to cut through than to make the long asphalt trip up. Now that the greenery is growing I think they would have to take the black trail. I know bugs are in abundance these days and ticks are an issue. I often get to type from the desk that over looks the area that the chestnut beauty is on. Looking from our slider I see how gentle it is and how sweet this animal could be. So as the breeze flows into the house and I stare at this stallion I cherish the sun and the breeze that only spring could bring.
