sitting down on the porch for the first time  yesterday,   watching this sky

018 fix
This Morning….i thought there was nothing left in me but when i went out to feed and then take a look at what was accomplished yesterday…..look!   i think these might very well be images captured of all the Good Energies  being sent this way by You All………….Thank You

019fix
and i tied scraps on the new strip of fence so it's more visible. … can You see it?

020fix
and as they have, three times this week,  the "help" brought contributions to a potluck meal.   there were 9 of us, three children.  i didn't think it was going to happen Again,  so was unprepared with the Diaries Cloth on the table.  no time to put it back up on the wall,  i followed Jude's thinking and for the first time,  it was rolled and set to preside from the top of the futon couch.  i kept glancing over at it,  wondering.

    Ahhhhhhhhhh..what glory the morning illuminated, and Ohhhhhhh my how fine the labors of fence and cloth, of course the supper was a nine patch while your own cloth waited patiently for the time you will be together again. Blessed EARTH DAY “Mother Earth”

    what a beautiful piece on the wall above, good morning, it’s evening over here, time’s a funny thing; lights of good energy coming your way it would seem, thoughts for some reason not very coherent, not to worry I DO see the strips on the new fence, sasx

    I am really enjoying your blog and wonderful photos. The peace of sewing, the garden and family, though aspects of these soothing things can be hard work at times! Everything looks beautiful.

    did you look over at your cloth & feel that you had a secret between you?

    Sweet peace to you. There is an old Celtic blessing most of the words are jumbled in my brain but the essence is – peace and blessings of all kinds to you. Take care of yourself.

    aren’t they? i have NO idea about them except they
    were there.
    the airstream…it’s what i bought in Oregon and lived
    in there and then in Arizona and then here in New Mex.
    all told about 5 or 7 years.
    When things got HARD here with the Maniac, i created
    a DMZ in the yard. he stayed out there. toward the End,
    he hauled it to somewhere else for a short time until
    he died. a very kind person dragged it back here.
    SUCH A LONG STORY
    it is trashed inside. i would get rid of it but the kids
    vote to keep it.
    it once was so beautiful…Rene, my kids will remember
    when that was.
    it’s like an entirely different life, thinking about it
    now.

    Yes, I do get that, that it is all part of the wonder that is Grace. It is such a great thing to be doing, living in a state of tired but happy-ness, and then to see new life as well. Lucky you.

    Thanks for making yourself vulnerable and sharing your humanness with us. In particular how hard you are working and your difficulty in taking care of yourself and asking for help. And then to see what happens with the outpouring of love here on your blog and the people who come help.
    I find myself in a similar place in my life of having lots of work and not including myself in taking care. And asking for help I can’t imagine. But to see the love flowing to you from so many directions is the magical blue and green light. Oh it is too wonderfully amazing.

    well..am just a little wad of humanness these days.
    and it’s interesting that it has been/is, a living
    moving example of what the words mean when we speak
    and read about there being no seperation of me/All.
    Maybe it’s just goat magic? they seem to magnetize
    Energy as well as Give it…
    today i will hopefully finish the details of the buck
    pen and then can move the three of them over tomorrow
    which will be Quite the Event…
    and then…i can sit on the Raft and look at it all, try
    to absorb what has happened here, how i can live now.

    the Airstream…yes, it was beautiful…I slept in it once when I came to visit you in New Mexico. And I remember it sitting on the hill in Oregon on your friend’s property there. She had something to do with Alaska I think.

    maybe. but that will be the work of the kids. both
    daughter and granddaughter want to keep it.
    and Valerianna…, i have tried several times to comment
    on your latest post and the comment box never opens…
    that little green strip on the bottom of my screen just
    stays halfway across…..
    BUT ANYWAY, it is such a totally perfect Place you have
    created. and all, just so extremely beautiful. you must
    be SO happy, content………..beauty.
