Alfalfa and wood have been delivered.  I've hauled in and stacked the grass hay.   There's room for one more bag of garbage before i have to go to the dump.  Went to the P.O. today.  3 days free from Cat Duty at Allan's before he goes off again to Alaska on Monday.

so.   no need to go  and no need for opening the Gate.  Son just called.  so  I will not answer the phone.

it's starting to really happen.  a little at a time…get it wet.  let it dry.  a little more.  

Was thinking about when the little kids were here this summer and we went to the Mineral Museum at the College in town…New Mexico Mining and Technology….to the new building for the Museum that is State of the Art….and the kids looked and wondered….What happened to give these stones and mineral specimens their color????   How could that happen?  And i thought today,  maybe this thing i am having about the Earth eating life,  absorbing,  and then recreating….maybe this is it…that some of it remains deep inside…colors of flowers, plants,  an animal or a person's eye,  some remains and gives the incredible array  deep inside…maybe it's true….

Sun coming through a piece of commercial lavender cotton,  which i would probably never use as it was,  but now….

and the kids,  and by kids,  i am speaking of the ones in their late 20's  and 30's,  mine and my brother's,  the kids like posting old people on FaceBook.  Mostly old people dancing.  But today,  my niece in Minnesota posted this one and i thought…yes.  This could be me in a while,  perfecting my Squash Soup.

    I’m reminded of the beautiful crone gathering wood…a picture you sent that sits just behind my computer…I think that might be you without the full head of white hair perhaps. Yes slowly slowly the minerals and colors appear under the slow stitching.
