1. Security cameras on a farm
Tsk, tsk. So, what else did you see? Is it a working farm? A horse/hobby farm?

2. Is it nice?
Is it a cattle farm or just horses? Does she have wood fencing all around or a combo of wood and wire? Does she have riding arenas? What kind of animals did you see.

Hey, you said ask you anything!

3. Sorry, I got sidetracked
You couldn't see very much from the road and I was in the middle of a century ride, so I didn't poke around too much. The property was surrounded by a white fence, like a fancy split rail. On the gated entrance, there was a fancy plaque that read "The Farm." There also was a really big sign that said, "If you're not an invited guest, please do not enter property.

I couldn't see if there were any barns from where I was at, but I did get a glimpse of the house. It was one of those fancy estate-type houses done in pinkish and greyish brick. Nice landscaping along the street and I say some sort of patio-type building which seemed ideal for upscale dinner parties.

Oh, I did see a cow in her field. It was one of those colorful painted one from the year Chicago did "Cows on Parade" downtown.

5. Did her dogs chase you?
It was a great weekend for riding. unfortunately, my ESSO thought it was a better weekend for moving appliances and yard work....

8. No, but I did encounter
a couple of other people's dogs. That freaks me out so much. Aaah, one of the joys of being unattached — I have no one to answer to and I can do whatever I want.

7. Sorry, I must have mispoke.
It's like right on the Indiana-Illinois border as you approach New Buffalo, Mich.
