it's letting up.     Today is the third day of no rain.   There will be some more,  but  no longer         rain Season.     There's a long list.  We walked the fence lines and they cleared two fallen  trees with the chain saws and re attached the fencing.   I wandered and looked at    the   multitude of Beauty FULL   lines and shapes the  branches form …how amazing it would be to draw this image,  line after line,   how so FULL the reality of the LIFE  both past and present would  flow through the marks  of the pencil.

i think about this.   I could.    I could make a print of this pic and actually do that.   What would i LEARN?  How more fully would i   "know"   this Doe Forest?   Minnow ran and flew through ,  over trees,  and a couple times over fences.   I think how her life has changed.  

and then….the planning,   the thinking…..this next week the rental  heavy equipment will be delivered,   the rockgravel.   Road up,  which has washed out in places be graded and the stones spread.   More thought tomorrow and maybe it's when the Geogrid gets put to use.   Jenny had bought it the first year and it's waited.   I think it's time is now.   There are many things on that list but before any of them,   the road up.      and down.    and back up.    Right now,  you can only drive half way.   and then need to BACK down.   This is what Alyssia has been doing with my ice/groceries/batteries etc.   AND  the bales of feed and 100 lb bags of pellets. …drives half way then pulls them the rest of the way on the "sled".    So.  here we go.    Our lives.
