i know i am

going

so there is a distinctly different energy about dealing with the Kochia.  I think of how it might be if i were not going.  Very Different.  I would just Go.  I would just make my way through it.  Again.  as i always have.

this,  between two of the tomato plants…close to 7 ft tall.  But everywhere,  differing sizes,  but Kochia.  What LOVES to grow.  Earlier today i went out with the tree pruning shears and cut and threw for the Goats.  They LOVE Kochia.    But to turn them loose,  they would LOVE the bushes and trees FIRST and Kochia second.  So i wander with the pruning shears,  throwing over their fences.

and i look at them,  these Goats.  so fine and Beauty Full,  their hair/coats glistening in the Sun,  so fine and so Beauty Full and how they know their names…how can they?  amongst all of them,  but you call their name and they know and respond…?????  I love the Goats and back

and near that tall  tall Kochia is a kind of sorgum  that appears of its own accord…here,  draping itself over the tomato plant

then…just maybe SECONDS later

WHAT is this?  Same place,  Same space but ….What is THIS and what is it saying and what does it MEAN?

 

Great DEEP STRONG THUNDER…just to the South,  Rain now,  steady.  But probably when all is said and done,  not enough to Grow a Tomatoe Plant.  Enough,  yes,  for the desert.  Enough,  yes for Kochia.  But not enough for a tomatoe.

    That’s so good that the goats love the Kochia/ I like growing the little cherry tomatoes they self sow & come up year after year (here in Sydney) don’t get troubled by pests or diseases.

    Gorgeous pics, gorgeous light, and yep, your goats are gorgeous too. Wonder what your new place will be like for growing vegetables? Birds have recently dug up all my cabbages (3 types) and kale, but left the purple cabbages! Good that your goats like eating your kochia. My chooks would rather eat the vegies than the weeds, so have to have the vegie gardens fenced. A friend of ours a few kilometres away, is inundated with wild rabbits. They eat everything ofcourse!! I have grown to love your garden over the years Grace, and the light is always so vivid. OX

    This is a good thing to know, what grows without additional water. What can be sustained. Love the bottom photo especially.

    It is your deep love I read here, in all the words, in photographs and in the vibration you send out to us so faithfully. Rain here too. I think of you when I look up and see “August” every day.

    At first glance in last pic i see a pigs’ spirit bringing rainbow of beauty to the day and as i enlarged the picture, the eye peeking out between the greenery. So special.

    It is funny for me to think about goats having names that they respond to … but I have never known anyone that speaks and shares the love that you do for your goats. ❤❤❤

    its a spirit bubble,
    someone who’s come back to visit.
    it looks a bit like our collie ghost
    that keeps opening the back door.
    I’ve captured them in our house.
    there were ton’s of them on thanksgiving,
    the first holiday right after we started on this place.
    everyone had come to see what we were doing
    it was built in 1860 so many folks have lived here.
