Howdy, my fellow future farmsteader! Ever imagined yourself donning cowboy boots, tending to chickens, and collecting your very own eggs? As a realtor who traded California glam for Texas charm, I'll let you in on the wild and woolly world of rural living. So, grab your sense of humor as I share a few personal misadventures and hard-earned lessons with you today.
Now, when you decide to dive into the world of chickens, be prepared for some surprise guests. Picture this: I strutted up to collect the eggs from our fine feathered friends, only to have a snake head pop out, cradling an egg like a reptilian breakfast surprise as I screamed "What the Cluck?" Lesson learned, folks: always do a thorough sweep before you grab those eggs. It's like an impromptu game of chicken-coop roulette!

Ah, goats. The four-legged landscapers of rural living. We thought they'd chomp away on the brush, vines, and weeds like leafy superheroes. But no, those billy bandits had other plans. They fancied themselves as expert escape artists, leaping over our carefully constructed goat fence and devouring everything in sight—shrubs, bushes, and even the precious Bermuda grass I worked so hard on. Lesson learned, my friends: maybe consider a dog instead. At least they'll stick around and offer unconditional love while keeping those goats in line!

Now, let me introduce you to Fred, the resident possum who calls our workshop home. Fred is a peculiar fellow—big, old, and blind as a bat. Every night, he embarks on a mission to run the property perimeter, triggering every motion light like his personal disco show at 2 am. And my dog? Well, he's convinced that Fred's "playing dead" act is the greatest game ever invented. Lesson learned: sometimes it's best to let the oddball nocturnal neighbors be and enjoy their eccentricities in peace.
