Saturday.... a day when most people enjoy the leisure of the weekend. Not for me.. too much to be done! I travelled to the nursery, arriving at approximately 7:00 a.m.,in time to witness an amazing sunrise. A beautiful pale yellow orb piercing the white fog, and highlighting the soft blue mountains in the distance, signalled the beginning of a productive, fulfilling day.
Our workers- Juana, Pablo and Victoria arrived shortly thereafter, in a pickup loaded with pipe and had tools. The work on erecting the chain link fence around the previously built chicken coop will begin.....
The coop will house heritage chickens, as a part of the organic farm/ education process for visitors to the operation. Although the work was not difficult, the erection of a 8 foot wire mesh fence, which required the burying of said fence about 12 inches into the soil to discourage raccoons and coyotes (hopefully) required some Herculean effort.
Work progressed smoothly however, and when I left (I felt I was more of a hindrance than a help) to focus on more productive efforts (for me) involving spreadsheet fabrication, the worker bees saw me off with arousing cheer. Ah well, I like to think that the cheer was due to my effort of assistance, not that they were glad to see me depart....
