Driving down Main Street in Mancos the other day, I saw the new mural/sign that was just installed. Although I loved the previous mural, I was happy to see the subject of the new one – burros! The mural features a painting by local artist Veryl Goodnight. Not only is she a famous artist who happens to live in the area, she has a gallery on Grand Ave and is a huge supporter of the arts and of the town of Mancos. I am seeing this as a good sign for the Tin Burro’s (our) latest project, the Harmony Barn. Our plans for the barn include art and writing workshops and we hope to be part of the artistic synergy happening in town. And there is a whole day devoted to burros called Burro Fest, which includes a burro obstacle course and art events.  

​Week  7
We have also just received a good dumping of snow in the last few days (about a foot on our hill), which is always welcome in a drought-prone area, and hopefully a sign that we will get regular moisture the rest of the winter. One can hope. Other signs that progress is happening is that our contractor Patrick arrived at the barn with a pickup full of 2 by 4s to start building the perimeter interior walls.  And appliances are arriving this weekend. It’s a good thing that they will be able to be stored on the new concrete floors, which have cured beautifully with no cracks, even with this cold weather. Here’s to good contractors and tradespeople!

    In January 2020, my husband and I bought a barn on 10 acres adjacent to our home property near Mancos, Colorado, and asked ourselves, "What do we do with it now? Since then we have renovated the top floor into a vacation rental and are in the process of renovating the bottom/main part of the barn into a gathering space. Join us on our journey!
