Food.   Not quite Dana's Table,  but the food on it,  well…… The crab legs came from the little market a ways  down the road.  I think it's where all the Winery people shop.  Gormet.  An exquisite deli.  I just got the crab.  Alyssia brought the artichokes.  I got Julian his lemon pound cake from…

s this is the Daughter Cloth.   the daughter brought it to me a couple days ago.   I'd sent it with her the first time she left New Mexico.  With the Goats.   As she notes,  everything i make for her is unfinished.  This is true.  It's very unfinished,  but enough to send with…

for my Holiday.  Three things that give me such great pleasure,  such anticipation. Beginning a new stenographers notebook.   it's what i write in,  almost daily,  to keep track of things i've read,  want to read,  things that come to mind and can be so easily lost.   Ordinarily,  the date of entry is on…

Dearest old crippled TenZen.  In his own space.    Small,  the end of the corridor between he and Nogal's forest and the Doe Forest.  But he doesn't use much space.  What he will appreciate most is being able to eat without looking over his shoulder.  And then,  lately,  being run off.  No matter which pile…

the FOUND Goats were posted on a couple different FaceBook sites.  There is a rule with them,  that the animals need to be available to owners for 20 days from the posting.  20 days would be close to forever to keep these 2 very Buck Buck Goats.  Jenny got a call.  A woman in a…

A from"my" Holiday.  3 days till New Year's Eve.  And since i am thinking about Julian's question,  why no Christmas?,  i am also thinking about New Year's eve.  New Year's Day.   Why they feel so Bright to me.  I keep mending that pillow cover, stitch unto stitch and think.  Above is half of the…

during the night, last night,  i woke and lie there,  looking out the window at the stars.  At first,  i was just awake and looking at stars.  That's all,  and it was just that.  No more.  But then,  i woke more and remembered things,  how Cinderella was out there,  how those uninvited buck Goats were…

instead of "later",  i began mending the pillow cover today.   I have had it somewhere on some couch since i lived in Ann Arbor, Michigan….29 years.   There was a store there that sold drapery and upolstery fabric,  really great great stuff,  bolt ends.  I use cushions in both the car and the truck…

i took this pic yesterday.  Looking at how seeds live.  Fall from some stem.  Roll,  dry,  roll more and find a place.  Maybe a crevice but maybe even just a flat space next to a dry leaf.  How they have made their way and with the rain,  Grow.  The miracle of that,  if you sit…

the article goes on.
