The collapsed barn, where I first saw Rocky, is beginning to come down. Ben and Ajay went at a part of it with crowbars and hammers. We have an elaborate plan to sell the metal, pick apart the wood, burn much of it, save some of it. We’ll need a dumpster, a tractor and a dump truck to clear all of it out. I’d like it to be gone before the donkeys and sheep get there. There are several animals living in there, including an old barn cat. We will take care of her if she wants to stay, it seems she has been there for years, perhaps before her barn collapsed. Saw her twice, but she doesn’t get close.
