The painters got here on Wednesday and, like the Phillies, were rained out yesterday. Today, everything is looking up. The painters are back and it's beautiful--the weather and the painting. There is a reason the old bricks are painted on the original house--it avoided pointing the bricks which is a lucrative business throughout the region with so many very old masonry structures to maintain.

| North side has the new paint. This is the "new" section of the house, circa 1982. The original was built in 1885-6. The barn dates to that year, too. |
Wendy has sold four of the goats. Two more are scheduled to go in another week or so to their New York purchasers. She is keeping Jasmine who remains an abundant producer. No breeding planned until the fall of '16. Political candidates will be in the last throes of their campaigns and Wendy will be thinking more about goat-breeding, which if the campaigning continues in the current vein, will make lots more sense.
I have a friend in Tucson who can't wait to see Donald Trump take off his shirt and ride a horse.
