that first time we were allowed to go back to Hill…Jenny arrived first and had begun giving Water in Wall Garden.  She took this pic.   Messaged it to me.   it has such Meaning to me that it Had Such Meaning to her….Hollyhock.  Last bloom of the Season…Hollyhock,  that had just appeared  on the Hill, in the Spring…out of the blue.  Guardian.

that day too,  i was able to Re~Think.    Filled this HUGE Ziploc….here, it's 3ft tall,  2ft wide.   Scraps.   it's in the Truck.

am going back today if i can get through….there were a lot of police yesterday  at that last traffic light,  that last intersection on Olive Hwy just before our turn onto Old Olive.  Looked like they were considering closing again.  I'll find out.

but want to say….THANK YOU to all who are thinking to help with Things….ie  the different Horse Trailer.   But it's ok.  Between the three of us,  we will work it out.   So…no….not now.    There may come a time when it would  be ok,  but NOT YET.  We did not lose anything.  We have not lost anything.   

will put more words here later today,  once i'm back over to Hill.   For now,  Love and Love

    If you think of it, grab up some of the Hollyhock seeds for me. I’m going to grow them indoors like a houseplant until they get the strength to stand up to a Georgian Summer without coddling. I think you got a supreme survivor there.

    I will accept your “No” for now. However, please know that many of us want to “help” in what ever way that is beneficial to you, the Hill, the goats and the family. Please do not feel that you must lose “everything” for gifts to come your way. You give so much, please allow us to give back in what ever way we can. You and this place and all that it encompasses are greatly loved.

    just looking at all the seed heads put me right back in the first Parable book. And the amazingly beautiful yet sinister light. this afternoon I’m harvesting ALL the queen anne’s lace from “your” plant where the original bowl of the season grew. Have been watching them cure on the stalks and am still perceiving them as a safe-making place keeper of sorts. I thought … I’d let them get some frost and then send a month or so before the rains stop. Maybe the frost first and then planting during the moisture season. They can tolerate a fair amount of drought here but I don’t know about the super high temps. Do you ever seem any there???????? Always think of it as a northern plant.

    So good to see this, flower and cloth scraps. Jenny’s pic is surreal! Hollyhocks are such a favorite.

    I’m with Carol also. Here if there is a need. Did you ask the critters? Maybe they say yes? Have been here with you since before. Have taken your thoughts in, and ready to give something back for you.

    i already have seeds for you. and i’ll look forward
    to your Plan. What i know about Hollyhocks is that they
    have HUGE AGENCY….that i do not understand in the slightest. But these….these particular ones…???…and your Intention…

    Sitting here in the dark..the September sky is glorious here and in the early morning i literally watch Orion march across my sky..whete a few weeks ago the air was full of cricket sounds even in the dark..and awakening birds ..these days are silent and still as we approach the equinox…i sit here full of the memory of yesterday’s setting sun..blood orange against the gray sky as west coast smoke drifts..thousands of miles and i open my phone and the screen floods me with happiness ..the hollyhock..given to you ..shared with us and oh the bag of scraps…amazing in such wretched days how your words and pictures connect and mend.. it is simply good to start the day this way ..so much love and hopefully a more gentle day …cynthia
