on the day of Solstice i put up this small cloth line. This taking way longer than ever before. I guess because of having no idea about the "house". It's shape even, it's orientation. Where would the door be? But it seemed now time. Some pieces of baling twine tied together strung between 3 small tree trunks. Along the East side of the slope where i'd begun clearing a path to replace the original one i'd been using that had become too worn and slippery. I had to cut away dead branches for that. Maybe that's what gave the momentum for the Line to be strung? And then, i realized i had no clothes pins. and realized further that i didn't Bring my clothes pins, that most likely they are still where i left them at the Other Place…on That clothes line. Which brought forth a lot of memory….that thing of Slide Show….still images, one after another…click….click….click….
I don't hear from Travis and Everett. They're not much for communicating. Everett has a FaceBook page but he pretty much just marks his moods. Sometimes what game he's into. Or that he made a macaroni salad. Mostly it's just about his moods. He has many ups and then downs. He doesn't mention the place. So…all this led to my calling Travis who says everything is good. That they have planted trees and that the lizards and "frogs" (eeeee, toads) are good. That Wheat, the underhouse kitten has kittens of her own…under the house. That they are fine. I guess.
so this clothesline here. Strung now. And today being Go To Town day, i stop on the way back at the hardware and buy some clothes pins.
