i'd imagined a plain Hot day, maybe some more plants eaten by Something, but just a plain Hot day and i would go Give Water after Goat care.
around 7 am there was Thunder. A little distant but then ROLLING closer and closer and ROLLING, the sound almost continuous, Roll into Roll into Roll and on and on and it went from then into hours of that and there was no lightning to be seen here on this Hill, but there was NO DOUBT that the THUNDER was the voice for the Lightning. Somewhere. I watered through it. These oh so incredibly Elegant Red Splendor Mustard Greens…so so small but so so exactly a Red Splendor Mustard Green, each of them.
Then B Garden and more had been eaten but i won't go there now.
came back and pinned and looked. Took it down and folded. Hooked in to the local Butte Weather Fire and Accident Face Book page and read through the Evacuation Warnings, watched the LIVE of the fire that is only one of the 8 that were sparked by lightning strikes, this one nearby enough to need watching….over the ridge….and began gathering things to load in the Truck
you could smell the smoke. Goats don't like the smell of smoke. Uneasy.
response to this fire is impeded by the NUMBEr of fires happening simultaneously…..do you remember the term Climate Change? Do you remember Climate Change? amidst the ALL of STUFF? There is NO THUNDER AND LIGHtNING in August in this part of the Sierra Nevada. NONE. ANOMALY.
i gathered Emrie's stuff from the Crow Altar. put it in a plastic food container and put that in the fire proof bag thing with important papers. This year, i'll leave the Crow. everything else there. I'll leave that Cloth above. I'll probably leave almost everything else. Take a role of toilet paper. I realize things have changed.
i go, off and on, to the Democratic Convention that looks so hopefull. then back over to the Fire channel, then i go out and put some bedding straw in Talkie's transport. Call her to give her extra meal worms, so it's fresh in her mind that if she is called, she might get extra meal worms, i go talk to Sunny Ray and Jack Flash…tell them we might be going to try to Load them…they stand and stare, Nogal, who is so gentle, i tell too and he listens, but already from my tone, my body energy, he is Vigilent.
Where's Puppy?
