and it's interesting.  Today would be the exact kind of day i would like to NOT repeat much for the rest of my life.   and saying that, i call myself to attention.  it actually was a very OK day by standards of the World.  by standards of the Majority on the Planet.   in a certain way, all was just fine.   Nothing went wrong.   Well, a little….my firewood that's left from last year is burning very smokey.  i have no idea why.  maybe from a LOT of sand blown into it and then way more moisture than usual….???  Maybe i'm burning wood and sand????  But if that's the most i have to be uncomfortable about then…..

and, really, it's not worth even writing here.  but the day was manipulated in a way that would not have been of my choosing.   so here, at the end of it

this morning i saw,  SAW,  this design at the one of four corners of the rug that is near the Morning Chair.   how amazing that i never was noticing this image here before???????????????  and i got up and looked at all the four corners, where the repeating pattern meets and they are all different.

But.  look at this one.  I really like it.

and a scribble on the Stenographer's Pad.  a female figure floating,  dreaming, floating.  How many fiber figures i made of this.  maybe one in Cloth?

and this last night.  December, the Twelfth Month, the thirtyith day……….Tomorrow.  is, IS?, the significance of the 31st day of the twelfth month REAL?  or, maybe the question is, is it Real Enough?,   as Real as anything, really…………..???

EDIT POST:

and i go over to Michelle of NYC  and find John Prine and Iris DeMint singing

Inspite of Ourselves

How many times did i sing that to myself, thinking that THIS WAS THE TIME???????????????

but it wasn't.

and just now, after listening to them,  i hear a sound and ….YUP.   ONE MORE MOUSE in the Tin Cat!.   i had pulled down the "company" down comforter from that top shelf of the bathroom closet thingy and yup.  Hole chewed.  in the comforter,  in the ceiling stuff.  Mice.   and cat Tazmeena is sitting on the futon couch,  all comfey.  not caring.

SO.  in Spite of Ourselves….all of Ourselves   we'll end up sittin on a rainbow.

    🙂 Ha, and, In spite of myself, I’m choosing from thousands of photographs taken over 2013 for posting (maybe tomorrow since it contains the beginning of ‘Eve’for the still-in-process (actually in a box for this busy month) “Spirit Matters” cloth. And, there’s a whole lot of rainbow energy when they all come together. See you tomorrow.

    i wonder if anyone in the whole world could listen to that song without smiling, without feeling that “yes”, i’ll step aside, and “let the mystery be.” i’ve moved into quiet. putting one foot in front of the other. listening. love you.

    Hi, I have been reading your blog for quite a while now, but just started following. Just wanted to say Happy New Year and let you know how much I enjoy your blog. Look forward to it every day. Love your work and I too love Jude Hill’s Spirit Cloth. Love that song also.

    I may have mentioned before – I’ve shared with many who have had mousey invasions. Get yourself some peppermint essential oil. Then figure out the most likely places for mousies to enter the house and sprinkle several drops there. Their little noses are extremely sensitive to odors, and they don’t like the assault the peppermint brings to their olfactory senses. This will keep them away. Also works great sprinkled under the hood of your vehicle – when I lived on the mountain, the mice would go under my hood to dine on the pinon nuts. Well maintained eau de peppermint kept them away. Waking up to a fat mouse flinging stuff from my shelves was the final straw for me. And the peppermint oil worked. You just have to make sure the scent stays fairly strong.
    (Hope you are able to watch the baby goats link from yesterday’s post.)
    Have a safe end to this year and a wonderful beginning to the next. xo

    it’s a wonderful thought, but really, there are many
    places a mouse can squeeze in.
    that Tin Cat device is doing ok…we’ll see.
    might need to bring a new cat…but i don’t think
    Tazmeena would be happy….hmmmmmm
