I was so thankful to have such a wonderful spot in the LA area. The first day, I was looking out over the field, where the horses would come over for a carrot, and there was a mountain lion that was just strolling along. I was mesmerized because he acted like a house cat walking in the grass. He was far enough away where I was not in danger and I felt completely safe. The next day there was a huge Eagle sitting on a branch hanging out.
With the chickens, goats, cats, dogs and horses around the property, there was no lack of fun. All the animals were wonderful. My granddaughter 11 months and grandson 6 years, came out to visit me, and the animals were not threatening at all, but instead came up and wanted love and of course, the occasional treat.
The house is decorated so beautifully, I kept finding lovely little knick knacks that really made the place warm and homey. I felt like I was transported to another time and place, away from the normal day to day in the city.
Everything was perfect, down to them supplying treats for the dogs, cat's horses and chickens! What an incredible journey.
