I am so exited ... we are in escrow !! The house is in a horse community about 3 miles from here in Simi Valley. It is a 5 bed 3 bath with about 1/2 an acre with stables for 6 horses and a big turn out.
In front of the house is a sand horse trail instead of a side walk !! There is a 1700 acre park for residents to ride in plus 7 arenas. It is a short sale, but hopefully will close fairly fast as there is only one bank involved.

Me with a Tumbleweed. It has been very windy around here, and the tumbleweeds are rolling around. The horses do not realize what they are and they cause quite a lot of spookyness.
The tumbleweeds start out round and bright green and then go brown, the wind rips them from the ground, and they roll around reseeding themselves where ever they go.

We went to the Breeders Cup at Santa Anita and had a great time looking at all the horses and people. Some of the horses had come from Europe to vie for the chance at the several million dollars in prize money. I had to sit down and rest for some of the time, because I started to feel faint. It was hot in the sun, about 90 degrees. The highlight for me was to see in person Animal Kingdom who won the Kentucky Derby in 2011. He finished 2nd and a new record was set for the time of that race.

A Coyote came by and took one of our young hens. That is him/her below, I took a picture when he or she returned the next morning. By then we had put together an extension of the chicken run and all the hens are now safely confined in it.
