Goodness

i did a whole Post.  I don't know where it went???????  But it was about a really GREAT day with the Old Cowboy.  About how there is a new   "component " in the    weave of the players here.   This is

Travis,  a young man who is a CNA  certified nursing assistant at the Old Folks home who i got to know because of Alz B.  He came.  They clicked.  and in the original post, i went on,  but now,  i don't have the original wherewithal that i did an hour or so ago,  already, i don't.  But it was GRAND and so GREAT

and i have HOPE that we can see this through to it's End.  Maybe tomorrow i can say all that i already said over again,  but it was just so FINE and wonderfull, all of it

and when Home,  i took down this Joys Cloth and invisible basted and it feels Right.  Tomorrow i'll go forward with it.  I basted that piece of seam binding that can be a Lizard at her hem and it will work and be good.

this arrived

look.  Right now,  it's just a lot of junk.  metal stuff, junk and a lot of goat heads.  Who knows…maybe that land next door can be somehow seeded with this?  I will need to find out many things, but maybe.  Maybe.  and Maybe right now is good enough.

    Much much goodness….what wonderful news that a new fellow clicks and is competent to help…and Oh, don’t you just hate it when a whole post goes “poof”, but this will do fine…and the cloth is coming and coming and those grasses will be GREAT when the new land is yours. Just the right thing too. I’m all out of wherewithal myself…so goodnight dear Grace.

    Yes, Travis and OCB and you, bringing them together to see it through,it’s life, it’s connecting, it’s giving, the goodness of it all.
    Equally good, especially yesterday was also getting the catalog of Plants of the Southwest; the photo of the snow topped grasses echoing what is outside, out little mounds of Indian Rice grass hanging on through the fierce winds and icy snow droplets. Still more cold snowy windy weather to come but nothing like back East..
    The strength of native grasses keeps me going through yet another cold/flu? “Enough” I said yesterday, got up and cooked up mushrooms with lots of garlic, green onions and red pepper flakes in butter and olive oil plus also made hash browns with lots of ketchup, weird combination but it is what I craved, topped off with slices of cantaloupe, far from local, from Mexico but Rich can’t resist and this morning, feel like I am on the mend!

    Teamwork … this is a good thing, a better way to go I hope
    And the grasses … well, you know how I can relate. Being a grass farmer is wondrous! Perhaps Charlotte would be agreeable to grass being sowed and harvested … good for both of you I would think

    they are the seeds of a prevalent weed, puncture vine, which is
    prolific. they have spikes and look very much like a Goat’s head.
    Am thinking. it would require water. so…may not happen.

    the planting of anything would be After the trailer is hauled off and then
    all the Stuff that is laying around gathered and taken away. And i don’t
    know. There would not be water there? or maybe…but a lot to weigh before
    any doing. But it would be great. and i knew you would like those catalog
    photos…

    Guess my comment didn’t make it clear that yes, I also got the catalog and that is why it also made for a good day.
