i made a list while it was still dark this morning. checked things off as i went along. things like
new latches both sides of gate to the Way Back. Hang laundry AND take down when dry. Shovel out the Goats "bedroom" in the Albatros....put on new compost heap and turn in. Water that. Turn other compost and water. Clean out the Honda car: it's like a mobile closet. Hook up battery charger (the rear lights have suddenly decided to remain on all the time, making battery dead????) Take charged vehicle over to Bill's. (who will fix it). While there, tour the fields. One whole field of Sideoat Grama. another experiment of alfalfa/some kind of European grass mix. While there,
sticking up from the dirt by a fence post. an Exquisitely rusted thing....
drive the ancient Datsun truck back home. watching the temperature gauge...running HOT, but we get here. I'd forgotten how totally Wonderful it is to drive a Datsun truck. My old truck, a 1972 Datsun, BlueBird, lives at Bill's for the past several years. She is a farm truck. has a solar panel for her battery.
and in the midst of it all, the Salt Cedar came into full bloom. the Scarlet Tanagers will be here any minute.
