Joanne sent a box and in it was a baggie of Frogs.   Large enough,  bright enough to not get lost OutSide.   Work was happening and Emrie who is feeling sick with something,  played with them.  Placing them here and there….making ribbet ribbet sounds,  hopping them.  Look at her back.   It's wide and strong.

This one,  was once Emrie's age.   

After some hours of Doing,  i watched them,  through the window because i came InSide because Emrie said she wanted Milk which means she is ready to try for a nap.  Which happened and she was fast asleep so i watched them out the window,  two women working to finish a gate.  This is what we are  today.  Two women finishing a gate…exchanging thoughts about how it might go,  revising and continuing.  Two Women.  But what i was seeing is a daughter who was 16 who had a daughter child.  And now there they are.  A 40 something woman and a 30 year child daughter who is no longer a child  and is just a woman.

On a Hill.   With Goats.  in California,  2019.  The Old Nana,  in the "house" with a sleeping 4th generation of same.

There is no Fire here today.

    Emrie reminds me a lot of my niece who was raised in part very much off the grid in a NoCali canyon. Especially her talent for finding ways and places to fit herself within the larger matrix of human activity.

    There are 4 generations here too. I am amazed and think back to when I had the son and how young I was and old I felt. Now granddaughter has son and he is here almost daily. Years passed and a lifetime. Interesting to be the old Grammy and remember so much

    as the astrologer told me….there will always be a coal.
    never out of control. Sometimes a bonfire, but always a
    coal.
    that was over 20 years go, 30, i guess…and it is
    proving to be true

    it Grows. Right before our eyes, it GROws. How adept
    Emrie is at moving between and among all the while
    so sure in her own sense of herself. It’s stunning.
    We all acknowledge that…her role in what’s taking place.

    she is so able, to find and make her place and does it
    with such ease and skill. She is a powerful agent
    among us.
