i tried to make this post last night and couldn't.  This morning in pre dawn dark tried again,  while wondering if it was worth it,  if the pics have any meaning,  if words i'd thought about them last night had any meaning.     We had a day to ourselves and were OutSide,  it was sunny,  no rain.   Some of it was doing almost nothing,  like sitting on the pile of gravel half way up the road,  seeing this leaf,  looking closely,  wondering how it happened….maybe a caterpillar.   Thinking about the size of a mouth that could create this negtive space pattern.    At new B garden we pulled the wheelbarrow loose of all the roots that had taken hold of its overturned rim,  things under it for 3 years now all lost in tangle of rootlets and decaying forest material,  an old wooden spoon,  some peat pots,  a license plate from Oregon,  strips of that copper from the Subaru radiator and this copper lizard  that was for all practical purposes pretty much lost but not quite.   It was tarnished greybrown so we thought to try to pull up the bright copper shine with barkeepers friend and then toothpaste and finally vinegar.   i told her it was chemistry.  She gave her frequent response of late,   "Oh!,  i didn't know!"  in a lilting voice of wonder.   She says it about a lot of things.   While we sat on that gravel pile the Goats suddenly appeared running up the road at a clip…."where did they Come from?" and i said i didn't know,  from somewhere they had gone and were coming back from and added that some Goats only live in small yards but these Goats are lucky and have a whole world to live wild in.   she said…"Like you".      And i said…and like you too and she exclaimed OH I didn't know!,  but then smiled and said  Yes, i  know.
