Recipe For a Great Afternoon
Five enthusiastic pairs of hands, gloved
Four pairs of wire-cutters, three hammers and two crowbars
Three mountain pine beetle-infested trees, chopped
One truckload of rotting cedar boards, toasted
40 feet of chicken wire, lumber, vines, and corrugated metal roofing, separated
Two dogs, underfoot
A dash of fuel
One winch cable, wrapped around a roof beam
One video camera, on
Four cheers of destructive joy
One jug of water
Lots of elbow grease
One extra hot bonfire
Salmon dinner for six, promised
One barn, standing all by itself.
Optional: one two-month-old llama, rolled in ash, one apricot tree in full bloom, and four hours without rain.
More tomorrow, with the addition of one digital camera and turkey dinner with all the trimmings. And, hopefully, some sunshine! Happy Easter, everyone!
