Yesterday I spent the afternoon helping do volunteer work at Twelve Stone Farm here in Jasper. These are the other volunteers. I had always wanted to go help out at the farm. These women, except for Jerilyn Flowers, who is hanging out with the dog over on the right, are all members of the Rome, Georgia Women's Roller Derby League. Mostly we pulled old rusty barbed-wire fence down. It was a lot of fun.

I love how she has her toes planted determinedly in those flip-flops, grounding her better to deal with a bite, I guess.

This is a crop of an old shack off of Jones Woods Road in rural Walton County, Georgia, not far from where I grew up. I was trespassing, I guess. Not the first time; probably not the last.
