being stream of consciousness,  nothing ahead,   suddenly…the kantha.  Where?,  kantha????   So upper left and tomorrow lower right.  It will be ok this way.  as reference.   it rained ALL day  as it will now until Friday.   Available light,  un available.  But you can see…the glints,  tiny flecks of light  shining Out from this third stone.  

her hairline.  little decorator braids.  her eyebrows and eye lids.  Her dancing fingers.  Her love of how things Balance,  her understanding that they balance because they Want to,  that you can Offer something,  but there needs to be mutuality for it to work…she instinctively KNOWS that and is good with it…her immediate focus on the…

out Back by where we were figuring out the Hot Water Heater,   is where all my dye pots are.  and some Gallon glass jars.   I'd put oak galls in this one,  just to keep them,  no water, last year.    They sat.     Lo and Behold….a mushroom!   and the galls have acquired a rust color? …

the leaves have begun in earnest.   and i was told where to put the EYE….      While split back stitching,  (Jude)   i pricked my finger but ignored it until i suddenly saw the blood coming through.    used the stiff Inktense brush and got most of it gone.  it's still damp so will see, …

i'm sure it's iron.   from the trail head….i can't remember the name,  but where you park next to the trestle.   A lifetime of things to find.   I wish i'd shown it to Bill,  the geologist.   He would know how this might have been formed.   the form  is so organic.  Heavy.  I sit in meditation,  holding…

this morning.   in its own way,  so BeautyFull.    and its Own Way is really all there is.    wet  "air".    so much moisture.   i tried to feel what earth must feel like,  how the Rocks might feel,  the Trees,  trunks,  branches and leaves,  the myriad new green green plants that are in profusion…

the black/white magic beads.   this year of 77.    two strands.   the first,  red African blood bead at the end.   Second strand,  not yet.   That bead will be placed at the end.,  the completion of this 77th year.   as per "instruction".    the days are too short.   Talkie "goes to bed"….makes her way up the…

it's captioned:   Living Lab program,   kids watching plants grow.    this was in the weekly post of the Master Gardner's  The Real Dirt Blog.   The focus of the post was  "A short history of the Master Gardener Program"  but here this pic was….seemingly incidental,  but just amazed and delighted me.   Kids,  sitting,  still,  orderly,   …

  I wake at about 4 or 5 oclock.   Make tea,  clear the space on the Table and follow a trail of reading and looking….read any comments to the blog of the night before,  read any posts on other blogs,  sometimes comment then,  but most times just think.  then  news and any related articles.   A…
