i dig the holes. happy.

finally, my cousin erin arrives from Houston to take on the task of "assistant" on our tiny farm. the past few days have held events phenomenal and tragic for our family and our loved-ones. the rain falls as thunder cracks throughout the nights. the weather cools and wets and then heats up again to inferno levels. beds are being built, seed catalogs filled with circles and dog-ears, and wonderful new stranger friends sign up for a share. the greenhouse is finally laid out thanks to our desert subdivision friends giving away piles of free scrap lumber as they build and remodel. photos galore.
