The most important work we can do, individually and globally, is the healing and prevention of traumas so that we don't pass them down to future generations. This blog is a working tool to contribute to this good work.
Due to pick up baby chicks on Friday from the feed store – they will be in the house in a box under a light for a week or two, but their new kingdom is coming along toward completion!
Young rose out front, first blooms, what a color!Finishing the coop windowsRed clay is from this pit - very sticky, wonderful to work with, has no sand so cracks when used as a surface coat - hole is getting too deep for the chickens - need mountain goats instead!Had thought I would let this Bermuda grass live - changed my mind! Brown finish coat comes from this sandier soilMetal lathe, very sharp when cut, finishes openingsI have to laugh at myself! Top brick up there is my cornerstone - last brick laid rather than first one (note the red clay surface cracking)Lathe covered - no idea what I am going to use for roofing!East side
Again, that is the Mexican-American border fence back there!Pen going up - all boards from shed I tore down, stained with watered down interior paint. That is a 2-yr-old apple tree in the cage, will be smack in the chicken pen, will have to protect it from the girls, but I am NOT bothering that tree to move it - will provide shade for pen eventually (a bit tricky on this!)I started putting wire up today - more progress pictures coming! Those are sheets of the metal lathe in foreground - am going to figure out how to sculpt pots out of them!
Roof is going slowly – have to trust the Universe has provided every single thing I need to get this job done adequately! Maybe what takes the time is aligning myself up with this Greater Purpose and Opportunity! xoxox
Hi, Linda:
Wow! Your yard is really coming along. Love that bright red rose, so pretty. Your chicken coop is maybe the cutest I’ve ever seen. What will you use for a roof?
Love you,
Sharon
Not sure on the roof – if nothing else shows up will have to buy some more corrugated metal like I used for recent fence – but it is THIN and I need overhangs. Also need the roof not to blow away! xoxox
Stop the Storm 
This is looking really great Momma! I bet it already looks very different with your last two days of work. Love the red rose XOXOXO
