We have been working hard every hour we can to get Richard's office built on the land. It seems to be slow going. Will we get it done in time? We lost a lot of hours driving around and walking around, looking for our wandering Pot Belly pig, Harley, but now that he is safely back home, we are pretty dedicated to getting moved out of the rented farm house and onto our land full time.

We have picked up a total of 60 bales of straw for the walls. I think we need 12 more.
We used up the load of gravel on two of the trenches, so we will need about 3 more loads to finish the trench and first course of Earthbags. Yesterday I think we moved 2 tons of sand and gravel by the shovel full.

And, a wonderful old, worn out, hand forged horse shoe from years gone by. I should've taken a picture of it. It's pretty cool looking, and magical, considering what significance horses are coming to have, especially associated with this land.
We also saw another one of those military Ospreys flying overhead. Very odd looking, but I think I'm getting used to the interesting planes flying around the San Luis Valley. No UFO's though. At least not of the extraterrestrial variety.
