walking past the door this morning i "registered" something out of the corner of my eye. It's happened…the angle of the light as SUN moves us into day…this is not Summer angle, this is Fall. It's happening.
Somehow, it just didn't click…the date, yesterday when i thought to wait a while to finish. When i saw that SUNlight this morning tho, i knew. So i finished August today. Done. Tomorrow i'll stitch the sleeve and give a stick to hang. Done. Finito. August.
Just after that, i happened to see an important moment out There….There was Tay standing with the hose in her mouth. So again….NO!!!!!!!, loud and she dropped it.
i hurried to put on some clothes and just as i got out there, there she was.
this is one of her favorite sticks. It was Placed. Her stick on My hose. Do you see what i mean?, about her ability to find ways to communicate? Through out the day, even tho i had used this particular hose just after this pic, different sticks and the antler were laid on the hose. So, it wasn't even just in that moment. She kept on thinking about it.
and tho there is only One, it is a Perfect One. see the Bee
and usually almost as soon as there is a flower, grasshoppers begin to demolish the leaves. This year not. Why? You would think, with so much rain, so much "opportunity" there would be a huge grasshopper population, but no. Some. really, a Few compared to other times. So much remains a Mystery….
The second planting of cucumbers that had begun so beautifully, so robust and grand….Last week their stem became like this…bones…and there were a few of those Squash Beetles cheerfully mating. I gave up. Quit watering. Let them GO.
But this morning when i went by to "pay my respects"….EEEEEEEEEEE! there, that small but sincere bloom????????????!!!!!!!!!!! i checked everywhere, under the remaining chewed up leaves and not a sign of Squash Bugs, NO eggs on the underside of the chewed up leaves. Nada. So i watered well, singing something, some unintelligable wordsounds. Who knows. There's still time.
