in my never ending effort to only go into town Once a week,   and being that i had to today,  i did Everything i could think of.   So not much here.

Color is Not right…taken with the flash.  While in town i washed it in the old Cowboy's washer…in hot water.  If i can't wash in hot water,  i don't own it.   But it held.   Enough.  No longer Pink at all.

And i replaced the nondescript brown buttons with some of the old abalone ones i have,  3 with the B sides up.   The top one has a shape of a goat to me,  2 i just like.  3 is for the moon and 4 the face of Praying Mantis.  Happy.   And i might wick the bottom of the sleeves in the walnut again.  But for now,  i just want to wear it.  It's my second layer…the first being whatever t shirt thing,  then over the top the trusty hooded sweatshirt.

    it looks pink in this pic. Didn’t on Picasa. Hmmmm.
    Will try again tomorrow. It’s actually a kind of sand color.

    Hey. I see the goat :–>
    Wonderful meditation with Sharon Salzberg at Tibet House Tuesday night in the chilly rain. Warming and healing. Thought of you and Fate in between being just breath breathing.

    i dipped my walnut shirt again. You will get more deep and permanent color if you heat the bath.

    yeah….tonight i brought one of the pots inside for the
    wood stove. I like how you can uhhhh, keep it delicate by
    using cold dips. When it’s heated it is HeadStrong.
