a continuation of yesterday.   beginning at 7 am and on until 4.  plumbing.  pipes.  taking out old water rotted wood, replacing with new.  repeat.  repeat.  and now, almost finished.  the Grey Water hose rests in the small rock cracks of the grape vine.  there is a significant leak in the hot water heater's overflow valve.  tomorrow morning for that.

so,  all this.  not what i  would love to spend days doing, but what will make things right.  and so.

and all while being the assistant,  i cleared the area around the gate to the Way Back where i'll put the metal milking stand, where they can come out one by one and have their hooves trimmed.  Formulating a plan, which  comes as a visualization.    and 4 days in a row i dream Goats.  NEW.  in the dreams, various things have happened and then, suddenly, out of nowhere, they come…as a herd.  running.  

in the midst of this, i looked up and East

and the clouds were Extraordinary.    Like i've never seen them before.  be sure to click twice to enlarge……………………..

and then to the West.  Different.  but still,  Clouds…a Sky of Clouds in such magnificant configurations…

and everything got quiet and Easy.

    Calming down here now after spending the evening cleaning up after the washing machine sprang a leak. Water was spraying everywhere. Plumbing. Big Sigh. Those clouds are incredible.

    I think our clouds have come over to you for a visit Grace :~) The skies often look like this here, (I hope they said a big hellooooo from me!…one day I fully expect to see a little trail of hearts right across the horizon…it’s been quite close a few times….I hope I have my camera on the day!
    My Man would love that huge expanse of sky at night.
    I love that you dream of goats.
    Love to you x

    Have to agree with helen, these, though still lovely, are everyday clouds here.
