i drew a map (Mo….)  this morning of the two pieces of land together.  When i came here there was nothing at this end of the road.  E mpty.  At that time i wished i could buy from corner to corner but i couldn't.  It was a long while until the other pieces were sold.   Each time it was hard to see the SPACE disappear.  But, fair.   So,  today i connected these two pieces with the drawing.  To help it be more Real.

Then i tacked the drawing to the little wall to the right of the Morning Chair,  under the painting of Noelie.

and the day was spent Here.  Everything except 6 goats is connected.   And i thought  all along about where the Crows are,  how the Crows are

and then Out of the Blue,  there wanted to be a single Red Thread…?????   I don't know.  Looking.  Just Looking.  A  single Red Thread.

I took a pocket full of peanuts out to the East Buck Yard to where Nogal is alone now with TenZen gone still on his honey moon,  and i walked around and called him to come and each time gave him a peanut and over and over and then just sat on the cottonwood branch and sang him the baby song, even tho he is no longer a baby,  far from it,  but he still loves to hear the baby song which doesn't have much in the way of lyrics,  just words of baby oh little baby, beautiful baby o baby little baby and over and over with no particular tune either,  but he gets all soft and dreamy eyed with the baby song.  He is a very excellent and WonderFull young buck Goat.

    Always it is good when I see your maps, of home, of land..brings together the pieces seen in photos and yes, it is good for me. Since I was born in the year of the goat my friends have been sending me many messages about this being “my year” and every time I read the notes and the things that come along for me to read about the goat year I just keep seeing your goats…big smile experience as now being a goat/sheep in the Chinese calendar is all so connected and comfortable.
