Me too
And I want to arrange everything in such a way that later, I can intersperse pretty flower gardens and fountains and such throughout. I kind of have a plan
So I want it to look reeeally nice. I want the horses especially to have a good barn. Since my whole plan will probably be years in the making.. I was thinking that if we need to stick up some coops or other things.. we should make them temporary structures. Like, no concrete pads I'll never be rid of if I change my mind about a spot later.
I want, in the end, for the chickens and whatnot to have perhaps gazebo like houses... interspersed with those pretty flower gardens on the windy cobblestone paths.
So you could go sit in this garden and watch these chickens, or that garden and these peacocks... and so on.
Everyone always thinks I'm silly with my ideas
Then I also thought the best way to be fair... was if there was 10 acres or something... let you kind of do your own thing around your house as you like. As long as it didnt involve the downing of trees, racecar tracks, or whatver else boys might come up with
(meaning I'm more worried about the bf, LOL)
Its likely going to be years in progress, and it is going to be a farm, so its not like I expect it to be beautiful or perfect to start off with... I just want it to be easy to flow from one project to another... and I want everone to be happy while Im busy being happy and bossy....
If we irrigate the pastures... they will likely be pretty lush. We kept 4 horses on 5 acres down south in goldengate
but 4 of those acres were pasture.
The farm I got Fantasia from.. had all of 5 acres for their whole big farm. About 30 horses. But they designed things VERY smartly. The actual barns, buildings, riding arena, houses ect, were arranged in such a way and with so little wasted space, they had 4 (they were rather small
) pastures they rotated the horses out of all day. The pastures were soooo green, like a lawn.
Anyway.. I wouldnt try *that* but I want the same concept of no wasted space.. and I love to spend my time making little drawings and layouts
my dad was an architect and I suppose I should have been one too, but I didn't think it exciting
So I thought I should finally get those warning out there before we get back from Ocala with stories of properties... I want everyone to be happy too (mom included, LOL).. and I'm not going to be a homeowners asscociation or anything
We can all have whatever animals we want... I just want to be in charge of the layout and asthetics side of things. And the lack of noisy machines side of things... but dogs can bark and chickens can crow all day long if they want
I thought it would be soooo amazingly cool, eventually, to set up some really nice cabins.... and have another nice barn... and have a B&B for horsey people!
But that requires the right size property too... anyway... its a little confusing/fustrating .... but well get it worked out.
Mom thinks everyone should get a vote. Hehe.
