20190629_083003

two days now.  All of us,  Jenny, her man,  alyssia, Emrie,  Tay,  Puppy,  the Goats…down at campsite A….moving a large brush and branch pile.  From when they created the road up.  Before i was here.   There is a Chipper Program.  I signed up after the Camp Fire.  Last January.   They called last week.  In our area now.  Pile things no more than 4 ft high.  Like with like  (size).  Cut ends facing out.  Along the road.  They do not enter property.  They come,  chip it.  There is so much here…like a zillion times more,  but this much.  A start.  Two days worth of  work.  

and in between,  i look.  This Diaries Cloth…Jude Hill,  Spirit Cloth…

What now?

This is New Mexico.  I am no longer there.

What about if i turn it.  Begin again on the Other Side.   ????

What if i don't.  What if i leave it.  As Is.  As it was,  in the beginning of knowing about cloth making,  learning.  Before learning how to be here.

    If it were me, I would make a new cloth. Each place deserves it’s own story whether written in words, drawn on paper or cloth, or stitched into life in cloth. Some things are similar, some things are not. Chapters in an on-going life yes but held in its own time and place, in a new “book.”

    Love this cloth as is.. my opinion
    As I weeded around an iris bed and notice my section of no longer planted veggie garden which is now all weeds..(i read somewhere that weeds are scabs for bare earth)..but my thoughts go to where do all those weeds come from.. how long do seeds stay dormant in the soil. Waiting to mend the bare earth… the veggie garden and Iris beds always were kept weeded yet they still grow.. how long was the Hollyhock seed waiting to grow just so you could enjoy it!!

    we can be a Great work crew. Was good to have that
    happening again. More today…of course, fencing.
    Shore up Nogal’s back stretch and then figure out
    how to temp fence off just the small space of the
    wall garden to let the Goats in to clear the spent
    grasses there. Will be prepared with with hose and
    spray nozzle

    Wondering and not knowing… Hmmm it seems in this time of Google you can wonder and then know so many things. But sometimes It’s just nice to enjoy the wondering… imagining all the possibilities without really needing to know.

    google gives us words About things
    may or may not have anything to do with the
    reality you find yourself in
    and it all ends up being a certain kind of
