one of those nights. All the words i put under the top two pics disappeared. I have no energy to repeat them. I think….they don't matter anyway. the words.
this last pic, which won't turn upright, snow peas that are finishing their season, as i give water, i pick the pods and open them, eat the peas. Give the pod shells to Tay who eats them.
i sit on the step and wait for Puppy the cat to appear. It takes her a while for whatever reason, but she does. The bridge of her nose is all swollen. She hunts. This kind of thing will happen. I watch, to see if i might need to Do Something, what that something might be is unknown at this point. But i watch and am somehow Ready.
Tenzen had some good days of being upright. Yesterday and today not so much. He's squashed at the fence and i go. Give him a hand up, standing, i put the towel under him and grip it at the top to create a sling kind of thing, we stand there, minutes, i talk to him, we wait till his breathing is easy and then Go. Moving slowly forward toward his gate area where the alfalfa feed is. Keep the towel sling thing on till he has his bearings there. He eats. His appetite is good. He spends the rest of his day lying peacefully. Then, we do it all over again in the morning. We could call the vet and "put him down".
if it goes ok, tomorrow i will put a scrap on the Cloth. Begin to stitch things down. Sew things down. Sunday. I love Sunday.
this morning, out the Window, there was a brilliant FLASH of orange/red wing….that i know
Flicker
a spirit bird for me over the years. I've not seen them here. But i recognize that FLASH. it couldn't be anything else.
