there will be a tree.    

i guess  i imagined something like Jude's Redbud.   But no….it immediately was an Oak.  Of course.   So i just began.    It's around 3:30   and i looked at what is left on the first  "spool" and thought to look in the bag for more,  similar enough….2,  but stopped to think.  Split back stitch uses a lot of thread.    

This Cloth is for me and the Hill.   It's Our dream.   I can do anything.   so i thought….this is  6B graphite.   What if?   And then,  maybe…Liz….Inktense.

NOAA NWS Climate Prediction Center    A high risk for heavy precipitation is forecast on Oct 20 through Oct 22nd.  across much of Northern California.   Several inches of rainfall could yield burn scar flooding concerns , but also help to replenish reservoir levels.

then….Karla K Larsen   Butte County Fires Accidents and Crimes  on Face Book….tells us of the Mooseheart Crew of firefighters "that will make the 3,000 mile journey home to Alaska.  A 20 person Crew,  a hand crew that worked mainly night shift doing grid searches for hot spots.   On Friday they filled in dozer line  constructed  during fire suppression and created water bars to help divert water,  preventing erosion.  The members of this Bureau of Land Management contract crew  are among the thousands of firefighting personnel who have traveled great distances to help the communities impacted by the Dixie Fire.

The crew is mostly made up of firefighters from several remote Alaskan  villages surrounded by much different terrain with much smaller trees than the majestic Ponderosa Pine.

Today,  designated Indigenous People's Day to celebrate the cultures and history of Indigenous and Native Communities across the nation including Alaska Natives is the crew's last full day of work on the Dixie Fire."  

i read this.  Sit.  read this.  Again.  and again.    20 men traveling 3,000 miles to work the night crew.
