Thinking.  What if i just temporarily fence in this space between the buck yards for …breeding moments???   From the Albatros on the left to the single Tpost on the right…the one after you can see the line of their white tops?  Right there,  at the long single T post is a roll of fencing that i have used before to close off this part,  but for other reasons.

Maybe i can weed through it and consolidate it.  Or get rid of it all.  Or.  But i pulled and hauled the Kochia weed forest and it's clear.   If i used this space to breed,  I would bring a doe Goat into it,  then let Nogal out of his gate that is Inside the temporary fencing.  Let Nogal out…keep Tenzen In.  They,  Nogal and the doe would be right there,  under Tenzen's nose so to speak and it would be hard for him to have to just watch.  But if i get it right,  it only takes a few minutes, really,  if the doe is ready and will stand.  Nogal has never done it before,  just in his imagination,  but i think he will be fine.  It's judging the readiness of the doe.  I did it before,  so i think, i can do it again.  Sad for Tenzen but Oh Well,  he did have his turn last year at Jan's and many times before.  It's Nogal's turn.

I have loved this book for so long.  Paper making.  I don't make paper.  but when i was doing the Gourds,  i looked here.  and somewhere a while ago,  i remembered it and thought about how it might happen with cloth????   For me,  they would be Shelters.   

So…debbie's Wondering reminded me and now i am filled again with Maybe's.  Maybe i could.

Cloth and salt cedar twigs?????

Thank You, Debbie

    You gave me this book a long time ago so just now, I have found it and tomorrow, I will begin to go through it again, taking a deeper look. What a fine time to bring it to mind as I am in a sort of lull between dyeing cloth and stitching so this may very well be a good time to look and think of other types of making.Thanks Debbie for planting a wondering seed in grace and thanks grace for rooting around and finding this book and in turn, I have found it again.

    You’re welcome Grace and reminding me that I also own this book. It is a wonderful book and inspired my son when he was doing a project on wetlands. I had forgotten how good it is and have looked today, my wondering and yours might result in new ways.
    I also own Sabine’s notebook.

    oh, you’ve brought back another Janie memory… She wanted to build herself a spirit house, something very much like the spirit shrine above, but big enough to sit in- a place to get centered. we snuck through the backside of the arboretum, gathering long fallen branches. she used two of them to build me a ladder, but never got around to her own structure. thanks for bringing all of this back.

    Yes, for us all. Her time ran out,.. unexpectedly, unkindly, but not surprisingly, with how things were that last year for her…something had to give. If only she’d had her spirit house…
