Sydney came this morning. She and her Woman are Arboristas. We looked. Saw that Tree is supported just some on the Earth in total by 4 maybe 5 branch points. The main one on the Milkstand. She pulled at it some and pushed some and it was determined to be safe until tomorrow afternoon when she'll return with her chain saw and remove what needs to be removed which will allow Tree to ease fully to Earth. We will leave everything that makes sense, branch wise. For the birds. Her body will remain. Today was day three and that day when Goats are ok with things, the third day and today they came when she was here and helped investigate. Then they stayed a good part of the day, using branches to scratch with, eating others. Beginning to strip the bark. Tomorrow.
Finished the matchboxes. They make me Happy.
wrapping and packing. All the young ones get Christmas. 8, 7, 3, and l. Tissue and curling ribbon. need to be sent priority tomorrow as usual. I thought i was ahead. Not. Thought Christmas was on a Wednesday. It isn't. so ok.
I am watching the National Weather forcast. As of today, Wednesday, the Solstice Hike at the Refuge is forcast to be 59 and Sunny. Who could possibly ask for more.
Stitched. Crow. the outline of Goat Eye. invisible baste. This made me happy too.
Across the road Margie and her various extended family began their drug and alcohol enhanced Holiday exchanges. I think about how human we are.
i spent some time thinking of All Who Come Here. Slowly, each of Us, where we are on the Planet, what i know about our lives, i picture Us today, moving toward Solstice, and there is such deep Gratitude and Love.
