i don't know much about this yet.  i just knew today that i have to pull myself away from Deb Lacativa's cloths….had to go back to the muslin.  It's almost like i have forgotten so much.   OR maybe so much is just not present in this span of time called   Waiting.    Waiting.  i'd like to not be waiting.  But i am.   so what i'd like and what i am is a between place.

according to CalFire,  the Wall Fire is 65% contained.  It is expected that Saturday,  all roads will be open.

Emrie is head down and engaged.   the OB expects she will be born next week.  Alyssia's birthday is the 21st.  She will be 29 years on the planet.  Julian has 2 more weeks in New Jersey with his Father.  Today he and his great grandma there took the bus to visit her brother and sister,  there's a pic on Facebook.   Destiny,  well….Destiny is like me.  Waiting.

the Whatever that Is Happening with the doe Goats continues.  Today was day 3.  So i imagined it might be settled.  But instead,  all the initial commotion has shifted to New Commotion.  There are shifting alliances.  Today,  and some from late yesterday,  Caroline has aligned with Lucky Star.  Because of the WhatEver It Is,  for the first time,  Just Going is putting in her two cents and rearing up at Celia and Karma.  Celia stays close to her mother, Lucky Star.  Onday and Ginger are totally staying OUT of it all,  and pretty much, Cinderella.  It's OOna calling the shots.  But at the evening feed,  it was all set aside for a while and everyone ate in relative Quiet.

i talked to across the road neighbor Margie and yes…that mother cat had lived under her house but the pit bull pups had killed a litter of kittens a while back.  ok.  I rarely see the mother.  Haven't in a few days at all.  The 3 kittens remain and run when i come around the corner but all the water and dry food is gone.  and they watch me thorough the slats of the pallet wood there.  Still no resolution about what to do about them.

I DID make Deb G's Zucchini Butter and it IS Grand.  ate it by the spoonful and the later on some ciabatta rolls,  broiled with Asiago cheese,  then tomato and thin slices of onion.

    I like the muslin and the drawing…lots of action and imminent action with your family, and with the goats too. The details are so interesting.

    gosh. I have no sense of time these days.
    I is interesting how you have moved toward more drawing. But on cloth.
    My drawing is pulling at me. but still on paper. or even walls.

    it makes sense you might need more blank cloth than colored While You Wait. I can’t believe the baby is head down already. Will you be there? I’m not clear on your time of leaving.
    The cloth is far from mundane. Looks like a Tarot image in the making. hope all goes well in this time of change.

    i’m not sure what to make of it all…what wants to happen with
    the cloth, what the drawing on it means for me…
    no. i won’t be there for her birth. we had decided some days ago
    that it’s way to risky to take the Goats through in the Heat that
    is lingering on and on with no reprieve. So now it is October
    we think. a disappointment, partly because i so much love that
    phenomenon of birth, that split second of Entry
    but it will be ok. Soon.
    Tarot image….interesting…i wonder which one…maybe i’ll go look

    yes. time has flown. She is emrie the eminent.
    i am finding that interesting too…Why? What story does
    That tell????
    have lots of thoughts but not the words to express them.
    Need to keep trying to find ways for the Cloth to express
    then i’ll have words.
    i was going to try here, in this reply to you, but
    it’s not ready yet.
    this morning anyway, maybe i can come back to it later
    in the day. I don’t need to go anywhere today.
    Drawing on walls would be such Joy…here it’s that wood
    paneling.
