Mind is filled with thoughts and images about that home for the Protector.  and with that,  i think,  where is a toad?   There is no toad.  There Must be a toad,  one at least.  Stitching a toad will be a challenge.  In the meantime

some people,  i think a lot,  experience September as a blissful month of reverie.  Here not so much.  Here,  September seems to be the month of bringing down the Kochia.  This year,  with all the odd weather,  even more so.  The average plant is 2ft high and many are over 6 ft.  Some outside the fence have stalks as thick as my forearm.    these 3 pics….i'd cut everything with the weed whacker before the kids came.   So it's pretty much August's growth.  Interesting.

but here and there are these communities of Mallow…Malvacaeae for Mo…  I love the Mallow,  who really need Nothing once they decide to grow.  How all day long their color will change with the angle of the SUN,  how they GLOW in their simple wildness

    i think of that…reading about your Place…how it would
    change so much for me here…living with mosquitoes….
    but there aren’t. No standing water, ever. Well, every
    some years but it’s no more than a couple days.
    This year though there was not at all and so, no roadside
    pools of water for the Spade Foot Toads who rise during
    monsoon to Sing and breed. They’ll have to wait yet
    one more year underground.

    Very Much. Same nutrient value as Alfalfa. I feed it to
    them…pulled and cut.
    If there weren’t so many of them and if they didn’t have
    that STRONG herd mentality, i could set a couple at a time
    free to brouse. But they use their One Mind and it would
    be too hard for me. One of the things i NEED to do is keep
    the Trees and bushes safe. They are like pirrhanas…however
    we spell that…they would go after Everything
