yet another GOOD day

3 Volunteers in the compost bed.  And most interesting of all,  i do not water out there more than once a week.  Yet they are stronger than the squash i planted in the raised beds.   A mystery that i would like to solve.  So i look closely and think.

i got some peaches at the store, some Half and Half and took to Alz. B.   This pit.  How so  Beauty Full it is…with it's flanges…the colors of it make me swoon….

just small stitching,  but critical to the Whole.  I went slow,  pausing a Lot.  Listening.

there are waves of STORM this afternoon.  Electricity on/Electricity off.   Goats running/Goats running back.   This is the second time there has been big Electrical Goings On coming from the East.   Because it is so much so,  you could say that all weather here comes from the South West except during cold winter months,  and then, only sometimes from North East.  Again.  This is summer.  Summer High Intensity Electrical Activity…from the East.   how interesting.

    Lots of electrical storms over in Taos at the ashram according to the Krishna Das group visiting there Saturday for Guru Purnima, and here so far only the threat but no lightning nor rain. The air is heavy.
    My your squashes…both are i think, are enviable. It’s great to grow food…to have space to do it.

    spoke too soon…raining…and unpredictable weather predicted for the next few days swirling around the region. Maybe I’ll go take a short walk with the camera before sleep.

    aren’t those the best! the unexpected gifts from the compost. i’ve got an acorn growing in the tomato patch. a bush acorn and it’s pretty loaded. groundhogs have gotten into the actual squash patch. standing there looking at me with yellow blossoms in their mouth. cute the first time.
    lovely peach pit–so clean–a heart perhaps–or a turtle? and the cloth. your symbol there, the eye under the blue plumes. amazing how much it seems to see.

    To continue with the unexpected gifts from compost: your second photo grace looks a lot like what I thought was a volunteer melon in our little hoop house bed…maybe it’s a squash and isn’t that fine not to know until it grows bigger…ha, think the ole trickster Kokopelli has cast a spell on our garden.
    The soft color of the peach pit woven all throughout Alyssia’s cloth due to the alchemy of Deb L; softening, like the color of the sky at sunrise here in New Mexico.

    the seeds that germinate in the compost heap must feel like they are the luckiest plants in the world!

    wondering if the electrical storms giving you negative ions mentioned earlier on…
    I like how the woven piece came out, and it seemed to hold the energy of introducing Tay to the household… INTEGRATION in cloth, mirrored in the household.
    Are those teeny spiraling floral stitches made by you, or were they on the cloth to start? Whatever the answer, I love their delicacy, and how you have positioned them.

    yvette…yes. this IS true for new trees and bushes i KNOW.
    they don’t send down the tap root to the underground source of water, but become shallow rooted and dependent. i don’t know about vegetable plants, annual things. i think
    they could not survive at all without daily watering. The heat of the SUN here, Wind, which is taxing to the plant.
    but yes…for trees and bushes, this is true.

    so amazing, and so far no real understanding. The
    compost is Grand, but really, lacking water….i don’t
    understand at all.

    the storms, oh, YES they do. it is just so instantaneous,
    the BREAK in energy and the SHIFT, YES.
    those little stitches are in the cloth to start, a blouse
    from the Thrift Shop…like an India Import blouse, and
    i love them so much…i have tried to repeat them in my
    stitching of Energy Vibes and my stitching comes out ok and good, but these are the finest
