My Dream

Growing up in the city, I was a great fan of Cowboy movies and wanted to live on a ranch. But I was unable too, as my family had big plans for me and after finishing university, I got access to my large trust. My chosen (by family) career had one benefit thanks to the internet, I could work from home. Thus, I started searching for my rural dream home and found an old farm (175 acres) 45miles from my family home. Rundown and needing a new house, barn and fencing, might seem a bad buy. But it was a clean slate as they say to make my Ranch, I could make it to suit my idealize dream. A house (5bedroom 3baths) was soon under construction with a large steel shed (barn) also being built and refencing underway. It had a 3+acre lake on it and a 2-hundred-yard river frontage. My family are keen horse riders, and we already owned horses. All were moved to my property on my house being finished, poultry and 4 goats were also gotten to add to livestock plus 2 dogs. Goat due to weed infestation of 30+acres to get rid of the weeds. I had expected some push back from family, but they supported my dream. Mainly because I wasn't going a long way away from the family. As I worked for the family businesses, I was started in a fairly high position and got a PA assigned, the first PA was 55 and was only till I found my feet as they say. Then I'd to find a new PA as the former returned to my grandfather's office after I was up to speed. I chose a woman 26 who worked in the same area as I worked, mainly because she already knew the work we were to do. Needless to say, we got on very well and became lovers with her staying regularly overnight at my Ranch. Which didn't go unnoticed by the family at all, but they already liked her a great deal. So, when I asked her to marry me (2016), they were delighted. We married 2017 and she soon was pregnant. She has a cat, and it gets along with the dogs fairly well, but not with the goats. The goats don't mind the dogs but can't stand the cat. My mother isn't a fan of the goats like the cat, as she planted rose bushes and goats ate them before we fenced the house garden in. The goats were let in to the area to remove unwanted plants, the horses are kept out of the area due to our cars coming and going. Nobody thought the goats would eat mother's roses first. My younger brother was staying, looking after the animals as my wife and I were in the city for the birth of our first child (2019). We returned with mother to discover the well chewed up. Hence the house yard being quickly fenced. Now we've 4 children and the rose4s are doing great, but we've to keep the goats out of sight when my mother visits. Dream perfected.
