Ordinarily,  i would be feeling the squeeze.   Only the weekend ahead.  But today,  it's different.  The weekend is still Free.  Monday will be Free.

Free.

There is a Spaciousness.

After feeding all Who i Feed,  including self,  i went back Out and continued with a gentle purposeful energy.

i found the plate for the Airstream,  from Oregon,  that i'd looked so hard and long for in the sand Over there,  raking and raking,  thinking the Goats had torn it loose and it was buried.  Not.  here it is.  It would have made the registration of the airstream a billion times easier and less expensive.  but Alas.  So i have it as a memento.

on this side,  everything that SHOULD go is in front.  Ready to be just loaded in.   Behind are things that CAN go,  maybe,  but what's in front is ready.  At the drop of a hat.

the copper accordian coils from the Subaru radiator.  I made myself a little story of the old woman,  getting Ready to go…what she took.  Nice.

roll of tight woven wire under the chicken wire…needs to Go.  For Kid Goats.  I think of the words…needs to go and they also are "needs to come".

End of October,  2017.  Ready.  for Whatever.

Spent the afternoon finishing the thread beads of the Cloth.  Finished.  now,  just the beads of Continuing,  that rise up…..and infuse it all with the MORE.  Tomorrow for that.  

This day,  Excellent and received with intense Gratitude.  and Love.

 

AND I FORGOT TO SAY….

the fire is set for the morning.  Just the strike of a match.  How great can this be?

    Sometimes leisure time is so unexpected that I can’t do anything with it except marvel as the minutes pass.

    Yes, like Tina said…flowing. I’m thinking tonight how fine it is that this waiting time happened. Time to move on with the readying at a reasonable pace. Satisfaction well deserved. Love you-love Tay-Love that fire.

    Yes! her hair is growing back and she has lost
    interest in it. I’m really glad i just waited…not
    begun applying all manner of things to it…
    it WAS the presence of the kittens, her
    obcession with them. I am so relieved.
    that coil. I have no idea what i’ll ever do with it…
    but for sure, something.

    I am impressed…love your organizational skills…most of all, I love the wood stove…
    tips on moving – lists…by number and contents. Emergency first – you have that – goes in absolutely last. What you will need first, goes in last!
    thank you for taking us along on this wondrous “travel” – wee bit of envy over here a’goin on!
