The famished waif with the tousled hair is NGP; the naked one-year-old with the swollen belly is Ben. There's a rain barrel -- why? There's a gas-powered lawn mower, so brand new that it still bears its sales tag. There's some black plastic pipe and what might be a horseshoe on the floor. A couple of white plastic containers. Miscellaneous wooden furniture. There are many cubic yards of hay -- not baled, just loose.
The potter, oblivious to the chaos and hard at work, is Phyllis.
It's all happening just inside the big barn door -- an improvised pottery studio.
