"I said, "I wanna touch the earth, I want to break it in my hands, I wanna grow up something wild and unruly..."

Been doing some serious planting around the 2 acre ranchette here in Northwest Wyoming! Got five rows of corn, two rows of onions, one row of zinnias, several rows of sunflowers, one row of basil and an old rickety wheelbarrow full of gerber daisies and white, lacey looking flowers at their flanks.
We have finished enough renovations to live fairly comfortably. The makeshift kitchen is in the garage, but I found my roaster oven which has been amazing. Did you know you can make cheesecake in your roaster oven? I mean, what part of o-v-e-n didn't I understand?!
Construction Man has begun tearing down the water damaged, old kitchen/bathroom/pantry/dinning area of this old house. The patina of a bygone era...
That's what we're calling it all. Sounds quaint, no?
Rode Addy yesterday. We are getting side passes to the left and to the right. She is getting many lessons in splint boots, fly spray and a bouncy, black and white pup with no sense of boundaries. She did step on him by accident the other day coming out of the arena. I asked her to step through the gate and he jumped right under her feet. Addy is not mean and does not want to hurt Hank the Cowdog. He wants to heel us all and nip at our pant legs. Addy does not wear pants and shrinks back when she hears him coming around the corner.
All is well. We are generally overwhelmed at all times. There are many lessons for us to learn by coming back home to a place we never really wanted and tried to sell for so many years. God is good, faithful, and loves us very much! For the Bible tells me so!!
Have a great Saturday. (By the way, still no internet. Using the found Verizon wireless box that Construction Man had hidden in his briefcase. Yeah!)
I hear the squealing moan of the tracks on his excavator. I better get busy.
I love you family. Stay well. Come and see me here at home.
