How cool! It sounds like the people up the road from you are British gypsies or something like that...

I wonder if the draft horses, Barbados sheep, and all the other fancy “status” livestock that people have as lawn ornaments to look at get bored not having a job-especially the horses. Even my old Husky is happy when I’m caulking windows etc, and let her prance along by me, dragging a cloth bag with a roll of paper towels and tube of caulk in it to “help” me.

Nah...they’re just hillbillies who haven’t forgotten their roots or the history of this road.

Some folks back in Blair’s Valley have Jacob’s Sheep.

Talk about creepy critters....:D

Not far from them is a farm that has Longhorns, Highland Cattle and Brahmas.

I dunno what they’re doing with them, if anything but it’s cool to go by and gawk.

Out near Boonsboro is a herd of Bison.

[they’re eating them]

For several years, we had a “stray Emu” [seriously!] running around.
I haven’t seen it in a while so I’m guessing the last couple of hard winters finally caught up with it.

You’re lucky your Husky actually helps you.

If my Ibizans or Dobermann try to “help” it always wind up creating twice the work for me.

The roll of paper towels she carries for you would be confetti within minutes.

Right now I’m sitting here trying to get up the gumption to go sweep up the shredded newspaper they “helped” me finish reading this morning.

[I should know better by now than to leave the room without taking it with me]

:)
