It was a quiet, sunny, sorta warm Monday afternoon. I had a nice fire in the wood stove, I was comfortable, sitting in the big chair, and dozing off. Dogs were on the floor sleeping peacefully as well.
There are so many many times I admire the life you created, support, and yes, even struggle with, on that land. This is definitely Not one of those times. Please stay safe dear friend!! Go dogs!
First of all, have you considered writing a book? Seriously. It would sell. Second, it's been awhile since I had a weirdo pull in the driveway and I was home alone, but it's happened and I went out armed. With an AR 15. We have a circle drive, 200 yds off the road. Last time it was a car full of dudes with their eyes bugged out like a tree full of owls, gawking at me with the AR as they sloooowly crept around the loop in the drive and back out to the road and off north toward the main FM road.
One other time some idiot working for the people who own the oil pipeline that runs across the back of our 85 acres pulls down our drive, across the grass, barely missed our septic tank and drove right smack dab down the middle of the lateral lines! I grabbed a shotgun and hit the front door on the run, firing twice into the air to get his attention. Talk about someone looking like they'd rather be somewhere else! I told him to get the hell off my property and if he needed access to the blasted oil lease he could get there THRU THE GATE THEY PUT IN between us and the neighbors to the north of us. He left. Driving RIGHT BACK OVER the lateral lines the way he came. I called the pipeline people and told them I would just shoot the next idiot they sent out to the house instead of using the gate at the back of the property. They must have taken me seriously. That's been over 5 yrs ago. No more problems.
We have problems with homes being broken into out here as well as drug users looking for a place to deal or shoot up. You can't be too careful. Stay safe, girl! God bless.
