    Such a stunning piece… both wind and water in this one. Nice to have young visitors – well, and older visitors, too!

    This piece has come to full life with the wind pushing stitches where they needed to be…lovely and just right..Love it, Grace. And, the chair is a perfect spot for two young visitor friends..with bright light coming in through the windows today..beautiful all around.

    they are great. they sometimes come to visit the Goats
    when i’m not even here.
    Talulah’s other mom is the one that wants to learn the
    milking routine.

    well…it’s more like i am theirs, really.
    the black and white one, the “normal” dog i guess is
    closest to “mine”. the other 3, they are what remains
    from the family of them that belonged to the Person
    i was married to. they are chihuahua/terrier. there
    were 5. now, the Mother, Tulip, her remaining son, Ramone,
    and daughter Lilly. They are a LOOOOOONG story.
    Tulip is i don’t know how old, it’s anyone’s guess. from
    the animal shelter. her children are 12 or 13 yrs.
    Ramone has cancer. he and his mother only have a couple
    teeth left. Lilly is still pretty much ok.
