from yesterday.    The first is how they sometimes become,  the Chaparral Whitethorn.   An arch.

Sometimes they continue to curve completely.   An Eeyore.   Before we came,  the turkeys used them for shelters and the quail.  Maybe others.   There were rabbits.   Some are quite big,  one near this home,  a Goat fits.   Just Going likes to stand in it.   As i mentioned,  there are many in various stages…partially blooming and partially dying.   It seems to be just how it is with them.  There used to be Many on this Hill.   There are some new ones,  just beginning now.   But not like it once was.

    I saw my first snowdrops today. I love, love, love enlarging your photos to see the green grass and the leaves on the trees. Life coming back.

    your few minutes captured the essence of miner’s lettuce … the leaf and flower to the right especially, but also the node (?) from which the stems spring

    I took the drawing/book into my dreams last night. Just asking that they have a place there … thought maybe i’d pick up where “we” left off in that silent dream where we drew and painted at the campsite.

    What gloriously beautiful writing you have Grace, and your sketches too. So full of feeling. Your flower cloth painting seems like a sun in the arms of those trees. I would love to see those sketches on cloth dyed with plants from the hill.
