“The grass may be greener on the other side of the fence but you still have to mow it"

This year the backyard has served a different purpose--pasturing Carl’s horse, Bouncer. Carl reasons with gas prices so high it would be better to let the mower sit and opt to use it for grazing. Bouncer has grazed the yard down once already to a manageable height, but with all the rain we’ve been getting the grass has grown back rapidly, which has led to pasturing Bouncer in the backyard a second time. 

I have to say I’ve enjoyed looking out the windows and seeing him there, but what’s even more interesting is how when Carl is in the house his horse seems to graze closer to the windows as if listening for him.
