Neighborhood Pests?

It's true that some people have bothersome neighborhood pests.  For instance, some might have random cats, a stray dog here or there.  You might see annoying squirrels leaving empty peanut butter jars in your yard, or hey, every once in a while you might have a run in with a raccoon, fox, or skunk...

BUT NOT MY IN-LAWS!

They have horses. HORSES!

Arriving back at their house after church on Sunday, they were greeted by two grass-chomping horses in their yard.  They were there just hangin' out, chillin', maxin' and relaxin' all cool in their front yard!  How exciting is that.

So Jas and I had to head over there to check it out, camera in tow.












Grass, anyone?












Just a leisurely stroll around the cul-da-sac.












Yeah, these two were caught in the act walking through a neighbor's front yard.

How is that for a fun, unexpected visit from some barnyard animals?  Aren't they pretty, though!?

  2. The funny thing is, that's happened to me before too -- and we lived much closer to the city than the Palmers! One afternoon when I was in HS, I was walking down the stairs and looked out the window, lo and behold, there was a horse in my backyard eating grass from underneath our trampoline!! Of course my parents didn't believe me when I called to tell them! Thankfully a neighbor down the street worked at a stable, so I called her and she came and led the lone ranger back to its home on the other side of our neighborhood. Haha :)
