With creative input from my sister Anna who is visiting New England this week, I have completed the altered calendar piece for March: it is inspired by the popular Victorian Era pass-time of goat stacking. Wealthy gentlemen vacationing in the Alps would hold contests to see who could create the highest and longest-standing stack of goats. Mostly it was men who participated, but one woman-- Elizabeth "Bitsy" Gladstone was undefeated in goat stacking for several years running. Turns out goats are highly stackable!
Anna documented the collage process:

I hope y'all are having a goat-stackingly good month of March!
