I woke this morning thinking it is going to be Impossible to pull this all off by the end of October.  

i don't know why i thought that.  but i did.

and so the day grew out of that.  and it was Wednesday,  the "free" day after the Work Away Days and it also rained off and on….again.  

 

on the table…gravitating together.  the light is so much more Beauty Full than appears here,  a soft aqua blue/green and a bronzeish…try as i might,  i couldn't get it

and then,  just touching stuff,  i took out this shirt that i'd rolled to be just padding in one of the boxes…had for whatever reason,  some time long ago,  cut out a back section of it and also a front section to use for something..????  don't know but today i saw it as a really great shirt

 

it was Long,  so enough of it to fill in the right side…left, here on the screen,  i pinned it

 

the back…piece pinned in place.  I'll baste these and then french seam them with Deb's Dirty Thread.  i don't know why.

will need to remove the collar.  It's linen and rayon blend.

 

tomatoes.   it's Loud.  will run all night.  

 

had gotten it a while ago because of the Pears.  Didn't dry them long enough?  maybe?  but i've eaten a lot trying to decide.  There are two bags of pears still Out Side on the bench by the gate to do.  Got it for the kids to use.  How they can participate in the putting by of food.  They can run it by themselves and be "in charge" of dehydrating.  Julian 8 and Destiny 9.

the tomatoes i want to grind into powder.

late day Jenny called and then Alyssia.  It's Possible.  We are still "ON" for the end of October.  ok.

yesterday,  while trying to clean at Bill's,  he and i talked.  And maybe that's where it came from,  the no possible way.   He's got his thoughts.  and is a scientist.  Lots of questions he had for me that i didn't have any answer to  except I don't know.  But he also said that he wants to drive.  

eee.

he has a long longtime friend that i have met over the years who lives in SanFrancisco,  who he skiis with 4 times a year and he said he wants to Drive.  Once we are there he will go along to S. F.  and they will go from there to their usual ski trip up into those mountains.  This sets stuff a bit Off.  But in the conversation with Jenny and Alyssia,  is just ok.  Travis can now be one of the Straight Through Drivers,  which was needed.  Bill and i can take the 2 days. 

So…maybe…maybe we can do it.  Only time will tell.

and…just as an aside…a HUGE aside….

Jenny's father is there,  at her world in Chico.  My X.  Who tends to be a negative pull.  
Who was dreaded,  his coming.  Last year didn't go well.  And who has been very well…i can't think of the right word i want, i'm tired,   but very uhhh,  Discouraging about the Hill….as WHY did she do this and What is it,  Really,  …he has never been "on her side"…and i could go on and on but it's to no good use,  but he has come to "visit"  and when they went to look at the Hill,

he said

Wow.  It IS BeautyFull.  it is.  really beautiful.

i hear her voice,  as she relates this.  and i think,  yes.  Wow.  I love her.
