after coming home from Work Away,  i looked long, slow and close at the patterns Wind made from scrap feed in the Way Back.   It's some kind of code but i don't know it,  so i looked  and admired it.

the Weave of the old dry iris leaves and the ones that wintered over,  sheltering the Mint that i finally planted because i want:

Mint and Cilantro Chutney

1  1/2C  mint leaves,  1 C cilantro leaves,  1  serrano  chili,  1 T tamarind paste,  1/2 t salt,  1  1/2 t sugar,   3 T yogurt   Chop and pound in together.   Good on Anything.

Tay worked.  Placing landscape elements where she thought they work well.

undaunted by past history,  the Old Apricot Tree opened her blooms.  Who Knows?  maybe.

i hung laundry on the clothes line and then FIXED,  as documented above,  the flusher thing for  the toilet .  Maybe it will work for a while.  Maybe not.  But if not,  i can flush by hand…lifting up the suction cup thingy till i develop the WhereWithAll to go get a whole new apparatus and dare to install.

A Very GOOD day of Just Going.  Resting.

    Blooming! Blooms! That’s a real pick me up
    Picked me up to track back to Tay’s artistry
    Another pick me up with a broad smile attached.
    More mundane, but just as sweet smile inducing:
    my toilet plunger chain is held by a paper clip.
    That’s how our ‘excellent’ super installed the new apparatus. He has his own ideas about plumbing. He put the kitchen faucets on backwards.
    No end of inventiveness for the inventive, but nature trumps us all!

    Here we are still weeks away from seeing any new growth…….so thank you for the showing of what’s to come. Spent an hour shoveling the driveway yesterday….not that I minded at all…..it felt good to be outside.

    love seeing the edge of spring in the desert as we start to fall into the long light of autumn on the other side of the world
