Surprise vole in the grain bucket. As ridiculous as it seems Brad and I
didn't want to let the little guy loose around here, but we also didn't want to kill him.
We ended up driving him down the street so he could be released at a food source,
the dump. I drove, and Brad held the bucket out the window. We figured if he could
survive terminal velocity wind force he might fair ok at his new home.
Surprise feather outside the buggy barn.... not so surprise..... paint on my hands.
Surprise wild blackberries found while bush hogging.Everyone was very busy out here this past weekend-- G Club and I scrubbed and painted while Brad and Pop bush hogged and began rewiring the general store. Big things are getting done around here. Just you wait.

Hey Meggie,
ReplyDeleteWorking with Brad was a lot of fun. My favorite job was the rewiring -- bush-hogging great too but I've done a lot of that before. The store attic is an amazing space. There is a lot of head room even for Brad's tall frame. Once our eyes adjusted to the light it was a beautiful space to work in. With the rains it was comfortable and 'other worldly' with the light slanting through and in places bright star lights here and there where the tin roof has had a nail hole. As we strung wire and nailed down junction boxes we talked about a lot of things, including concocting that tall tale about the attack of the attic beaver-weasels that you didn't fall for ... yet.
Love,
Pop
ive always thought that general store would make the most ultimate studio/sleep space. studio downtown, cozy nook uptown. Firepole connecting the two levels natch.
