i was thinking to take pics of the possibilities for Jude's April Boro class
a jacket i've had since the 70's. here it's inside out. the other is a batik that i don't really like. it has hung in various closets for 40 years.
a linen shirt from Thrift Shop. collar and sleeves cut off. a vest kind of thing?
THEN, comotion on the road. a truck, FAST, the kid that rides the Palamino bareback, FAST. so i find the camera and am just seconds too late.
CLICK the pic to enlarge: way down at the corner, the kid on the Palamino waits
CLICK again: from the other road, a black mare...tail arched and flying, her foal beside her, chased by the pickup.
THEN: phone call. and the rest of the day changes. it doesn't look like much now, but over the next few days, a whole little world for a small herd of dairy goats will be created. how temporary is still unknown. ALL the does are bred. it would be nice if we could pull it off and have them here through kidding season, into milking. ~cheese~
the wood on the ground marks where the temporary fencing will go. it will connect to Fiona's Palace where the guinnea hens used to live. will need to borrow a sawzall to modify.
this will be the gate. i cleaned out half of the shed thing, the Albatros, to hold the bales of feed.
reshuffled the stack of pallets and dragged over the metal sawhorses. with wood over the top it will be a perfect shade house.
this piece of wood was in an arroyo in Snowflake, Arizona once. it has waited for Purpose. now, when the fence is up it will mark this space.
Daughter will fly in tomorrow. at the end of the week we will drive back to California, load the horse trailer and bring the goats here. from there we will play it by ear.
