She came.  Black Swallowtail Butterfly and laid her egg and here,  the caterpillar.  Planted the fennel for this and Yes.  As it IS.  YES.

Patricia had wondered what it was like when i came here.  I looked for the photographs to no avail.  This is not a good one,  but what i found.   This is the Asylum that i made of railroad packing crates and scavenged window.  You see Fern,  the 1975 Ford Van that brought me from a different life to a different life and hauled the Asylum here.  Shortly after,  hauled the "Airstream" here.  

The two 4×4 posts you can see at Ferns front are the same two 4×4 posts that are the House Yard Gate posts now.

While looking for those pics,  i come across this.  And of Course,  it is so correct because it speaks to STORY of a couple days ago….this is Her….just before she changed the Story

then Her again.

and in looking,  i found this pic of my Beloved Marge.  My beloved Marjorie Burke Price.  We used to go camping on a weekend,  a day or two.  We would do ART and then Burn it in the campfire

you would think,  that it's SO HOT,  that they would just rest or something.  But no.  They saw me through the window moving and zeroed in and began calling.  Goats have 4 stomachs.  Well, really,  one divided into 4 compartments.  So..heat or no,  their compartments become empty and they NEED.  Ok.

it's finished except for the thread beads.  14.  Seven for one Seven for the other.  Tomorrow on Solstice.

the corner.  the Southwest corner where there is Love,  and yet, danger.

    and there you are so sun kissed .. a world away from all the intense greens around me…looking so of this earth and so vital ..i am so tired right now..waiting for the power of the day…and happy to visit your past and be waiting for Next..just glad for the now

    it’s over at Patricio’s. He’s dead. I think it’s still there…i’ll
    go check. Now and then i’ve thought about bringing it back. Was
    traded for i don’t remember what, probably a car part or something?
    was made of wood railroad packing crates and scavenged windows. It was really GRAND. had it’s own wood stove. It’s where i made the doll things when i was living in the Airstream. A Studio of sorts and i smile, writing that…mostly Of Sorts. The grandchildren remember it. This is important to me. It was the first hauled here, on the back roads because it was totally illegal to be towing such a thing.
    There’s some miles where the back roads dead end and it needed to come on the freeway for the last leg of the journey.
    At that time, there was still an active land covenent here. And the woman who owned the property down the road was offended. The old man we bought the property from gave us 30 days to do something different.
    I’ll go look this week and see if it’s still there, at Patricio’s.
    His son in law is one of the Dump Officials that i talk to all the time. If it wasn’t for the Airstream still being here, i would
    get it back and give it to the Buck Goats. It’s a really GRAND
    construction.
