Untrashed

Well.... I got the trash out. Not a whole lot else but then that was a really huge chore. It took 5 trips with my trailer to the dump to get all that crap gone. Feels good to be able to have room in the yard to move around, and to be able to get a vehicle to the garage door for unloading and such. We also got about 3 cords of wood laid in for the winter and over the Thanksgiving weekend I started fires. That's later than usual, but then the cold got here with snow and a vengeance.

Laura is gone to Denver for a grant writing workshop so I'm tasked with getting the building ready to hold art for Christmas. The Monte Vista Holiday Fest is this Saturday. Our art group took the money from our yard sales and invested it in a holiday art tour complete with buses and a Christmas train along with 35 artists showing in 8 locations that have snacks and some with wine. Having decided to help make this town value it's artists and their revenue generating potential it was time to put our money where our mouth is. Laura is the force behind these things. I just do what is asked of me. :)

So I'm getting all the nails pulled and stuff rearranged in the building. Most of that got done yesterday. Today I'll get it cleaned up and hopefully lit up. Nothing too fancy since it's temporary. Flood lighting for the gallery portion along with sweeping the floors but it sure is nice to have all the little bits of leftover destruction gone. I'm a little sore from all the nail pulling and such but hey (!) it keeps me off the streets.

Oh .... and there are a bunch of pots to get glazed as well. :) There has to be some just plain old good fun in the mix you know.
