Neighborly Love

Nothing like a sweet old neighbor who brings you these first thing in the morning....

Yup! Eggs fresh from his chicken coop! They are always looking out for us!

Mr. and Mrs. Risner live a couple of doors down from us. We bought the house we are now living in from his daughter. His whole family lives on this road. We are the outcasts lol Since day 1 though, they have never treated us that way. They are the sweet little country couple you see in the movies. So in love after years and years of marriage. They have goats, cows and they have recently added chickens to their little farm and we get to share in their purpose: to poop out delicious eggs!

Mr. Risner used to raise and sell registered Brahman bulls. When Wade was in highschool he purchased one from him. They aren't cheap bulls and Mr. Risner take very very good care of his cattle so naturally Wade was proud. A little over a year ago we found the bull dead and bleeding from his hiney hole in the pasture. Nobody, to this day, knows what happened to him. If you ask Bryden about this story you would think it was the most terrifying thing he had ever witnessed. You see...you just can't leave the cow in the middle of the pasture dead. You have to drag it off. So here is 4 year old Bryden witnessing Wade tie this massive bull to his truck and drag him off. Unfortunatley, I wasn't there but if you get Bryden to tell you the story he can tell you it in emmaculate detail!

So, now enters the redneck side of us. Were talking a $1,500 or more bull. We HAVE to keep something. So we keep the skull and proceed to hang it in our front yard on one of our lightposts that sit to the side of the house. Now that is one expensive yard piece if I might say.

You know you're jealous! Yes, I know the pic is sideways but my computer won't let me do it any other way...or maybe I am a computer retard! Whichever you choose to believe :) Anyways, do you have anything that expensive decorating the front of your house? I think its way better than anything I could get out of a Better Homes and Garden magazine for sure :)
