felt like that.   A little of Everything.   the strip of french seam from some article of Thrift Shop clothing…i think  probably a design that everyone of the 70's might have had something?   I cut the threads,  tiny threads and finger pressed it flat….to the Other Side.  The intense pleasure of that.

i drew a little.

shoveled along the doe Goat fence line,  loading some just so FINE and already Beauty Full  composted manure and feed debris  into a tall bucket to haul down to the Wall Garden where plants,  especially Pepper plants are having yellowing leaves.

the hose from the main connection down to the travel trailer blew a hole….there was,  for a little while, till i noticed,  a small stream flowing past.  Fixed that with a different hose.  All is well.

Last night, during the night,  maybe about 4 am,  give or take,  a sudden strange sound.  a single sound,  repeated.   Loud.

Tay and I sat straight….ears pricked,  eyes wide,  listening…..I don't know how to describe it…maybe the "word"  KWAT….made of a thick plastic,  like the old fashioned bakelite?   a Plastic sound, large,  maybe the size of a large triangular grapefruit?   I googled night birds in N Cal today…finding nothing.  I can't imagine tho it being a mammal,  What kind?   It's dusk now.   I hope it happens again.

    How you notice and tell of the passage of your days … I love it
    And plastic sounds … we were sure something had gotten into the house after a series of such sounds over the course of several hours. Come to find out several things had fallen out of a precariously balanced plastic lid (gotta write a post about what), followed by the lid itself. Talk about a slippery slope … ha!

    We heard a mystery sound this spring…not a honk or whistle
    or any normal sound. Think it was some new frog visiting. Your
    land may speaking a bit under all your attentions?

    back in the 70’s a girlfriend had the most beautiful 40’s style dress made out of that print, I attempted to make one by cutting a pattern from it that was a total disaster, bad cloth choice combined with not having a clue about pattern making, dress making is an art!

    Big House of this forest. It didn’t return last night. I was disappointed.
    Slippery slopes. indeed.

    it is. I tried to use a hooded jacket as a pattern…with the same result….an art. For sure.
