• My son, his woman, their daughter, my granddaughter,  his birthday here from colorado

    Kurt Vonnegut said  “I urge you to please notice when you  are happy and exclaim or murmur or think at some point ‘ if this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.’

    Notice when you are happy and say so, out loud.”

  • Second round of bucket laundry

    Rinse day and I take hold of plunger but stop…lift lid…

    There on a pant cuff,  a young Sierran tree frog and same as snake,  we simply behold each other.

    Reaching in,  scooping up,  they go up my hand to top of index finger, more belolding

    This most gentle soul  set down in the flow of hose water then  going off on their way.

    The snake.  This young frog here at the top of Hill, both unexpected,  “out of place” ?  Within 2 days….

    A Message…..?   Take care,  expect the unexpected?  Or,    just  

    Take care

  • Back to where we left off
  • Was on my way to clothesline.  Just right out there,  when body alerted…Stop!…

    I need more words to tell how beautiful  it is, this sensory knowing,  but behold!

    We both were completely still, watching each other,  Goats came and went as did Puppie,  inches away.  Minnow the only one interested in going toward.  Not sure what to think.  Most likely will not ever see again. ?  . 

    About 4 ft.  7 or 8 rattles.  Old one.

  • A few more days….my best idea ever

  • Twice.  I like the word, twice.  I walk this twice every day, down to feed Jack,  Jumping jack flash and lean into his gate, saying Metta for the world.
