off and on….i held this Cloth today. Touching. Early in the morning i turned it over and on the Other Side i saw…under the root stitches that it also said the month of August.
it is so dry. it smells of DRYness….walking around. They almost finished the Capture addition to Jack Flash's world, built the gate. Just a small space, but his fence will be cut. I'll drop his feed in there and he will become accustomed to going into that small space to eat. If we need to, as in Evacuate, delicious things can be put there, things he can't resist, (knock on wood) salted peanuts in the shell, alfalfa. and then the cut space of the fence closed. He will be trapped. Nowhere to run, evade for too long, and so endangering All of us. Like last year. He is, though, a very wary Goat….but it's the best we can think of. I've never said this, but last year, last evacuation, we couldn't catch him. We also couldn't catch Karma who was the only doe Goat to not load. We tried everything…over an hour, as time ran out. We had to leave so we left his gate open…Karma was already free. We left them. On their own. Drove away. and called Butte Cnty Sheriff's reporting this…they came the next day to check on them. We had also left the feed shed door open. Water tubs full. It was a short evacuation in comparison, i don't remember how many days??? But the Sheriffs came daily. When we were able to return, Jack was in his Space….gate open….Karma just outside.
Nogal is the other Capture Goat….one iota easier than Jack…so his little shute is next. It's all we can do. This is a hard year. the term…spontaneous combustion …..comes to mind. We, or really, they…i am just there for conversation and small assistance, they work to build these. Even just since i've been here….this ratcheting up. it is the dominant energy of these summer months and i find this hard. Summer has always been the "season" that i love, that i can be most me…but this
and it's only July.
i hold this Cloth.
