The country is not what it was once upon a time ..but only because the people are not what they were once upon a time either. <br />We had to fence in our yard a few years ago due to a rescue dog we obtained, but now I'm glad of it. Things are much safer from the road with it..and hunters, yeah, we have those too..and speeders...well..it's the country, so we have it all too.

Just today I thought of that as I had to lock my doors upstairs while I went downstairs to do the laundry. So sad !!!<br />Blessings to youcarolina nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17300773317928721703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-40816190196679318462011-11-01T13:39:32.329-05:002011-11-01T13:39:32.329-05:00Well written post CQ!!
Even though another person...Well written post CQ!!<br /><br />Even though another person isn't nearby watching us, there is always ONE who sees everything we do. <br /><br />We live on a single lane road and normally have very few cars even though there are a few houses out our road. We get the speeders mostly. Teenage high school boys in their redneck trucks speeding. My children aren't allowed to go past a certain spot in our driveway for this reason. The driver would hit them otherwise because they wouldn't be able to see them in time either way coming or going on the road. I only allow the two olders still at home to go to the mail box and they have strict instructions to stop at a certain area and listen if cars are coming before proceeding to the mail box. <br /><br />Dh hasn't ever gone outside in his skivvies but has in his pj pants a few times.<br /><br />At first when you said orange, I immediately thought of bobcats. We have those here along with coyotes. <br /><br />Hugs CQ for a thoughtful post and hugs on the loss of your beloved pets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-64048125765692066692011-11-01T08:41:48.609-05:002011-11-01T08:41:48.609-05:00The forest at the back of our property is home to ...The forest at the back of our property is home to many deer. We have 7 acres in a rectangle shape and have a nieghbor on both sides with the same forest that stretches for miles. I was a bit surprised last hunting season to find an orange cap roaming one of my nieghbors property and then onto ours. I thought what guts this guys got to tromp about on private property. The nieghbor wife high tailed it out there to give this guy a piece of her mind, he was looking for the doe he shot.<br /><br />The only theft we've had in our neck of the woods is nuckleheads breaking into cars, both our nieghbors cars. I don't know if it was because a couple huge burley lookin guardian angels scared them off or cause our truck outside is always locked for reason not breaking into ours. <br /><br />We do understand how it is everywhere and how the outskirts of town or in the country is used for dumping grounds. Before moving out here we lived in the high desert in California 7 years ago, waaaay out. People drove through, especially on the weekend taking their "country drive" only to dump an unwanted animal & go on their way to enjoy the rest of their trip. Or the meth labs off the beaten paths. The law for motorists I found out the hard way was, "drive as fast as is safe". My daughter only 11 or 12 was out with our beautiful dog as she crossed the dirt road a speeding car hit her while my DD watched. All I can say is I'm glad my daughter was not in the road where we took many walks because of no traffic. It was sad enough to loose our beloved pet.<br /><br />We are putting up a fence on the back side of our house too, we never thought we would. As I speek the fence people are here to set posts today. It will help me be ok with letting our now, Buddy, go out and be safe, for our chickens to forage with boundarys & to keep our gardens safe from deer snacking & other dogs out. I'm tired of cleaning up after other dogs too, if you know what I mean ;)<br /><br />I had to laugh about the skivies wearing, shot gun bearing, O wise one... my farmer hubby has done the same thing and it just warmed my heart to hear someone else laugh too.<br /><br />Be safe, your in our prayers.Tuliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16326463958951674762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603192921512857639.post-40422823208663005992011-11-01T06:08:41.689-05:002011-11-01T06:08:41.689-05:00So much of that is true everywhere now, but I gues...So much of that is true everywhere now, but I guess especially so in the country.<br />We will find out, I expect. And it does worry me.<br />But until people take responsibility for their actions or care enough to think about what they are doing, I suppose not much can be done.<br />*Hugs* Stay safe.

I think they do the same whether or not someone is watching.<br /><br />I try to be true to myself. Whether someone saw me or not, I have to live with my own thoughts, so except for a scratch out of the public eye, I behave pretty much the same way.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.com
