Am half way through.   I don't know what i expected,  but i did not expect this. i quit reading fiction long ago.   The last was Louise Erdrich,  who i love beyond love.  I don't read it because i have no life then.  My life is in the pages,  the words,    I hurry through necessity…

to dig a hole,  for planting a small tree.  This is the tool.   You kneel or squat.  After a while, end up  sitting.   Feel with your fingers and find the perimeter by fingertip.   Then,  this tool.   Moves  down along the edge and over time creates enough of a gap that  the  Rocks are loosened and…

this sits on the Everything Table.  as do the InkTense pencils.   In case.    this is where the In Case went this morning. not far. I don't know what's going on.  Something,  i guess.   I rearranged Sunny Ray and Jack's water  tub  and mineral tray.   Fluffed up their new feed bin.   Filled Talkie's food carousell, …

i touched the InkTense pencils to the paper,  then the brush and water and  moved things…softening the marks,  bleeding them out.  For nothing.  No reason,  but  just to watch  it happen.  Began the day this way. Jenny came and for the first time Ever,  we did nothing.  We sat in the sun and went through…

my grandson Jeff.  Alyssia's brother,  my daughter Jenny's son.   His Woman, T and their 2 year old daughter Brinley to whom this day was dedicated.   They live in Sacramento.   A Birthday.  She and Emrie are 3 months apart.   In this pic,  Jeff and T are setting up the rock painting table.  He had his times, …

i emailed Marti this morning,  asking that she use her Super Power to find me a good pic of my Collaged Kitchen Wall somewhere in the archives.  The wall in Polvadera.    Collage,  Acey,  Nichobella post.    She found many but first on the links was not the kitchen wall,  but MORE.    If you…

the base cloth is Deb Lacativa's.    It set this into Motion.  and rocked me all day long. What a miracle Color is.

I got a call yesterday from Parker,  Arizona.  From our community's sister,  Peggy McG.    She was in town to buy supplies and go to the laundromat,   and so had phone connection. SHE IS THERE!!!!! Parker is a town just outside of   Quartzsite,  Arizona  where since 2008,  the Bob Wells  RTR,  Rubber Tramp Rendezvous, occurs…

this is Carefree Way.  my physical address.  Which is required for some Things,  even tho it means Nothing.  See it?  to the right?  the dirt road?  But….maybe it doesn't mean nothing.  Google maps can find it.   Up from here is the neighbor Dave.  And up from him is a travel trailer and i don't know. …

i cut the bristles of a stiff bristle brush.  Flat and at an angle.  I mute the initial colors  with the brush…softening them,  blending them,  sometimes to nothing at all.   When i got the Inktense Pencils,  i looked at their bottom ends that i supposed would be a clue as to their color.   Not…
