two more little prayers.   And looking,  i realize that my imagining of this Cloth needs alteration.   This is a Blanket.  or           will be a blanket and so,  will be washed.    at the laundromat.    things will need to be STRONG.    Stitched firmly,  tho they are Tender.   ok.

in the build up of manure and feed refuse by the Chicken Palace.   Glorious leaves and so much make me think they are FOOD.  Like spinach,  or arugula,   but some kind of wild thing?????   

Goats are going through a  "stage"….doe Goats.   Am feeding the evening feed down at campsite A because of Caroline and the little ones being up here in the Curry (kidding) house.   Since i've been planting,  i am down there in the afternoon and they show up,  in anticipation from about 2:30 on….loud.  Milling.   Wanting.   Wanting NOW.   If i ignore them they will go off for a short time,  but are back again to repeat.   I need to wait till they are gone  to put the pellets in the bowls.   There's a tension.   
Soon,  Caroline will need to be set free from the Curry house.   Soon too,  the little ones will need to be set free for the day.  Free Range Goats.   We have no idea how to do it.   Never done that before.   I WORK.  Like WORK.  with my concern which borders on anxiety about it all.   I know that it will just go as it goes.   But that part of me that wants to make it all safe is a big player now.  Breathe.   repeat.  I will do the best i can.  Breathe.  repeat.

    Common sow thistle it’s edible but flowers profusely and can be a take over merchant

    a take over merchant. That’s elegant. Around here we call them thugs.

    the prayers have that sense of always belonging in this context. All the plants are different.
