Digging and Horses—Landscape Listening

April 20, 2012

For years we have been using 5” aluminum mainline to supply our irrigation water. Each year for the last three years we work to place a little more of it underground. This year is no different. Having the line underground not only makes life a little easier, but it also saves water, which matters when you consider how much water it takes to grow pasture and hay. I enjoy this work, but I am really looking forward to tomorrow!

Spring Horse begins at 5:30am. This is our first year to offer the opportunity to experience the wild horses of our landscape. Beginning with sunrise, folks from a two state region will head out in hope of seeing, experiencing, and photographing wild horses who make reservation land their home. A full day of wonderful countryside, horses, and many new folk I have never met. And that is just cool. To hang out, introduce folk to the landscape I love and have the opportunity to hear about their home and their landscape. These conversations always help me attain a little more insight to how others experience creation and how it feeds their spirit; that in turn helps me to become more aware of my landscape, my spirit, and my relationship with Creation—amazing stuff!

Until tomorrow though, a little more digging…
