Through the Eye of Another

Yesterday meant several really good things out at The Creek. First, David helped finish off the electric wiring and I finished off the plumbing so we could have water pumped up from The Pond to the orchard.  I will miss hauling buckets of water, but it's a price one pays.  Also, I was able to run the chain saw up high on Whitman's Rough where the juniper grow thick and tall.  I brought down ten or so to begin their curing process in the event we want to use the larger trunks as part of the Hog Shop renovation project later this year.  Additionally, I saw the first Texas mountain laurel bushes in bloom.  Crazy good stuff, there.  And then the eye of the horse.  Sometimes it's a fine and necessary activity to try to see our world through the eyes of another.  And then other times, it's a fine version of the fun-house mirror to see one's own self in the eye of another.
