Welcome to Valley View Horse Gardens Part 3
I thought I’d show you other parts of the farm. While I have a few minutes, I’m going to go and show you an area that I built a couple years ago. It’s a pond area. I don’t know if there’s water in it yet. We haven’t run the irrigation, but it’s where chorus frogs live. And I’ll show you.
Today I’ll show you the pond where the chorus frogs live, and the garden where my kids keep butterflies
This is the garden area. We’re still working on planting. Actually, my daughter is, this is the area I call the meadow.
Before we get started, I need to put my hat on and we’ll go to work. Let’s go, boom. You know, as we get to go get treats and always give Bo a treat in the beginning but of course Bo has to mark his territory. He likes eating horse hoof trimmings.
This is, I think a 1931 Chevy coop. I use it for yard art now. Yeah, this is the pond. It is almost dried up, but there’s a little water in there. If it skis. If it’s warm today, the frogs you’ll hear the frogs.
This is what I call the beach.
It’s kind of been inundated with grass and I haven’t cleaned it up yet. My horse business is a one man show. So I only have so much time.
This is a patio area. It doesn’t look like much, but underneath this is stone. It’s actually pretty cool in the summertime. Eventually I’ll get it clean. I built this pond used to be twice the size and I filled it in.
And this was an island that still exists on the beach. I’m sorry, in the middle of the pond. Eventually I’ll get it. It’s really cool. It’d be cooler if it was all cleaned up, but it’s okay.
There’s a statue here. I wanted to see because the statue is going to go in another area that I’ll show you later. Yeah, that’s a great statue.
So I took the statue off so that it wasn’t damaged. I collected old gates at one time. Anyway, if this was all cleaned and cleared, I have the table and chairs and a dog named Bo somewhere funny dog.
Anyway, and I have a statue that I have out in the middle of the pond that spews water. When I turn it on, there’s the statue. It’s a boy holding a goose. It’s pretty cool. Yeah. Anyway, and this is an old fence that I tore out of a building before they demolished it and send it to the dump. A fabricated fence from probably the circuit 1920s. It’s about 12 feet long.
Anyway, it’s kind of cool. And I have a bench that was given to me by a friend, two horses. We’ll see what this year brings that I can get things cleaned up in, in, in order. There’s a boat. It’s a styrofoam boat. Somebody gave me a few years ago. Anyway, back up to the mainland. One day, I’ll show you the greenhouses and what we grow in there. Actually, my son grow in there. We raised, I got him in the butterfly business a few years back.
So they grow plants for butterflies, like ARDS red, AB admirals painted ladies that food comes some somewhere else. Cabi whites, yellow sulfurs. One day, I’ll talk to you about how this tree talked to me one day and had a very profound conversation with the tree. Grandmother. Willow is what I call her. Even if I’m older than she is, she gave me some good advice that I still live to live to to this day. Yeah. Anyway, I’ll walk back out a bird house I need to fix.
All right. All got it. We’ll go for a short run. I have a school I go to it’s a neuroplasticity school. At least. That’s what I know of it. As to build new neurons in my head, I’m hoping it will build new neurons to create different patterns between my right hemisphere and my left hemisphere. That’s my brain.
We’ll talk about that another day too. Let’s go.
All right. Well, we made it back. So for now see you later. Bye.
