i could make you crazy telling all the complications and I don't,  because those complications change,  almost moment by moment so by the time i explained one,  it would all be different.  But it's FLUID.  Day to day.  Sometimes less.  Everything is dependent on so many things.

I could go this next month.  april.  OR it might take longer.  There are considerations…the Electric,

the land surveys,  the water run,  permits,  a retaining wall for Alyssia's place,  on and on.  It COULD go fast,  it might go slow…. all there is to do is just One Thing and One Thing and One Thing and they will add up to

Being There.

These are pics that Daughter sends me email that i take a pic of on the screen of this computer thing

This is my Spot.  Where i will live.  All that looks white, isn't.  It's a very pale green native grass.  I can't capture it better.    A little spontaneous clearing.  Where the hut will be.  Inbetween Alyssia's place and Jenny's.  Midway on the Hill.   

I look.

Place.

She said,  Jenny,  on phone today,  that the MOSS has begun to show itself.  Hazel has been talking about Moss.  Moss.  Living in this desert world,  moss hasn't been.  Lichen,  yes,  but no moss.  

Moss.

hmmm.  a whole World of its own.  Moss.  eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Dakota has ducks.   This is the canal road.  The canal is part of the Hill land,  the Hill Place.  it includes the canal.  the canal road is used by the forest service.

Ducks.

what about Ducks?

As said.  There's just SO MUCH.  TOO much.  today,  which might change in a minute,  the Plan,  which is maybe Plan F by now,  the Plan is that Jenny and her man will come in his SUV kind of thing.  Her man's SUV kind of thing will pull the horse trailer that will bring the Bucks.  The Old Cowboy's Silverado Truck,  Jenny will drive that will pull the Faux Airstream full of doe Goats.  Sometime in

April.

MAYBE,  in one fell swoop,  I will load a Uhaul with all my stuff.  Travis will drive the Uhaul.  Which will tow the Honda car.    Today,  the NEW ADDITION to plan whatever,  is that i will drive the Toyota truck, Sunny!?????? with all my Stuff, that won't fit into the Uhaul…with Tay and Tazmeena.  

When?  well,  that all depends on when there is some place there for us to Be and all that depends on so many other threads.  

There is just so much not knowing.  We go.  We move.  Day to Day.

    Oh – glad to know it’s not till April (expect a package small I mailed it (can’t remember) – and oh, what a fluid balancing act you are in the midst of…Daunting and exciting. The place that will be is lovely even in not so good screen shots. May all go well with all those threads and contingencies. Be sure to rest a lot in between dear You.

    Over here there was more “eeeeeing” over the universe that is moss today. Our whole yard is moss, with grass growing out of it. I was feeling a little sad over losing views of your big sky world, but now there is a new view- all that green for you. Wishing you peace in this teeter-tottering through transition. ox

    Well, if you’ve got all those trees, there is oak in there somewhere and if you’ve got moss, you and the oak can have mushrooms!!
    Is Travis going to have goats?

    no. the Goats will most likely go first. They need to
    go when the weather is cool enough still.
    The trees are primarily mountain oak and manzanita. And
    it never occured to me re Mushrooms…but????
    i will rely on your expertise when the time comes!
    it’s also not a reliable indicator, the moss, or maybe
    it is?, don’t really know…this last year was an
    extremely different year with all their rain. It’s been
    Drought for the YEARS before…
    A lot to learn.

    I LOVE moss, and it’s a good thing I do as there is so much of it in our garden, on the roof, the trees, the steps out back, in my flowerpots and on and on….
    have you read Elizabeth Gilbert’s ‘The signature of all things’? the main female character studies mosses, it is beyond fascinating

    As you get ready to leave, I’ve been thinking of your joy in loving, living and learning with your family, of the children, of Emrie, who will have you with them on this voyage of discovery for it will be that and so much more…
    And I think of what a gift you have been given at this time in your life (apart from family) to come to discover a whole other landscape…not that leaving your desert substation is easy but you will take all that it has given to you, within you.
    What a wonder and gift it will be to discover:
    What the wind say to you? How will it dance for you up on the hill?
    What scents will float along the air stream?
    How will moss feel on your bare toes?
    What will the dirt feel like in your hands? What will it taste like if you taste dirt? ( everywhere we lived, yes, I did taste the dirt!)
    What sounds/songs will serenade you as you sit outside with Tay from the creatures who live on the hill, in the brambles?
    Same sky, same stars but how will they look to you from the canopy of your sentinels, the trees?
    What will you eat from what you will grow on this land of green and moss?
    What will come to you for cloth from what you see and what will you come to know you can dye cloth with?
    Huge exhale, bigger inhale, you, us, as we await, with love, curiosity and deep caring, windthread from a new place on the Earth.

    it is. They were not entirely happy to choose it for me
    there were a few possibilities but this is Fine. Alyssia
    wonders if it’s too “close” but really what will make it
    move along best if there is not complicated pipe running,
    electric lines. And right now, it’s just to be there
    by the time Emrie comes. That is primary.
    I can walk into the Away.
