Oh yeah the dust... it's funny how I've blocked that out of my mind. The endless dust and dirt everywhere in western Kansas.

It's exhausting. It's legitimately the main thing that makes me shut down my nostalgic thoughts about sometime living there again.

Same. That and flies.

Got lady and Milo up on hay bale hill tonight, not a 10/10 sunset but still great.

Sun setting behind some other mid sized farm operation about 3 miles away from the cat ranch.

My uncle's mini ponies even came and hung out for a bit....I'm still scared of them because someone once told me "since they are smaller they are closer to hell'

Mini pony... tell me more as if you were going to sell me one.

are you worried that people driving by will think you're a makes money farmer and not a hobby farmer? miniature horses can take care of that problem.

Agree. The only mini horse farms are hobby farms. The only exception is those that show and sell these horses.

So mini horses can't eat Johnson grass (apparently poisonous) so that idea is out the window.

Can a mini pony survive on one large round bale between summers in the pasture?

My Dr did approach me about mini cows. I must admit they are intriguing.

If I had a hobby farm, I would get a small donkey and a llama.

I would go with mini bison.
