it seems that the aphids and the Iris have some mutual concerns. there were no aphids on these BLOOMS. not a one. but still, on the tight buds.
and the butterfly made of Wind is back. i think to stay. stitched a little, just enough. When i look from a distance, like when i'm near the wood stove, or even in the Living room, and see it there, there is a very good feeling.
I arrived at the Old Cowboy's home early this morning so i could help him get ready to move out and be at a 10 a.m. appointment with his lawyer. Help him get ready consists of a LOT of repeated conversation. What he wants to say to his lawyer and then also all the History to Everything, as in how things came about. This goes back 50 and 60 years. He has to say it. He has to say it a few times, at least. …. he talks and then says "you understand me Girl?" NONE of it is new.
so, we did that. What i could have said to the lawyer in three concise sentences took him an hour and a half. I sat listening with my eyes closed. This helps FEEL his angst, his SENSE of the position he is finding himself in.
and then, we went to his accountant to sign this years tax papers. he could not go in and was "ashamed". so, Wendy, his "tax girl" came out to the car with the papers and a clip board. she squated next to the car while he studied the papers and signed after 3 red x's. i wrote the checks out for him and he signed those. and then he had the exact same conversation with Wendy that he has had for years. Wendy, a very kind and gentle woman, responded exactly as she has for years.
that done, we went to Lotta Burger and ordered a Lotta Burger with cheese and green chili, fries and a pepsi. Waited. brought it back to his house and split it and consumed amidst him reliving every moment that preceeded that.
then he remembered that he was plum out of Centrum Silver vitamins. so….off to Walmart for them and back. where we reviewed Everything one more time.
i came home and took a nap. woke, but couldn't really wake. so i stitched that butterfly made of Wind and fed the Goats. i am going to go to sleep tonight as soon as i can. i have Things on my Mind and want to stay up, when i wake in the middle of the night, and see exactly what they are. i will wake somewhere around 2 am. will make tea. sit in the Dark and wait to Find Out. then, when i can see it clearly, i'll go back to bed till morning.
