lichen and mosses.   i saw them some when i came last year,  but didn't know how to SEE them,  this time around,  i know more,  know what i am looking for.  Just 3 days of RAIN and they have begun their circle of Being,  having waited. Jenny came today and we…

they said goodbye to her,  by name….goodbye, Talkie.  She had layed her egg just earlier.  It was still moist.  Rode home in the front seat of the Honda Car. Raining.  We couldn't pull around the back where they had disembarked.  They were concerned about mud.  So,  along the front,  some distance away.  Quite some distance.…

it's about 2 acres.  Enough for 2 or 3 sheep.  I'm thinking 3,  because a "flock" seems to be more than two?  Would 3 feel like a flock to them?   I don't know much of anything about sheep.  There are still around 600 animals over at the Gridley Fairgrounds.  A  lot of the horses…

    had a few moments of light this morning.  Breakfast.  A young woman from  San Luis Obispo had given me this camp stove,  had belonged to her Dad.  She thought it would be good luck.  Tomatoes and onion from Wall Garden.  Hamburger and hashbrowns.  Ketchup. it started raining as i was eating.    …

this is a chicken rice cheese bean burrito from up at the people food table.  My across the field neighbor brought it to me.  it's got a lot of fresh cilantro in it.  Some chilis…it's hot, as in spicy.  I was planning on beginning to catch up in responding to comments tonight, was looking forward…

multiply this by maybe ten.  Might be close enough to what IS.  All along the main road here in the Livestock area.  it continues.  trucks in.  trucks in.  We have moved through the initial Energy of it and it's quieter now, somehow,  quieter   like now for some long haul.  In the beginning,  you imagined…

that back part,  the green ones,  Granny Smith.   Every year,  for so many,  this time of year is Apple Pie time and i go looking for Granny Smith.   Here's crates of them and no circumstance for baking a pie.  In the FAR upper left of the pic you can see where we are,…

        saw this morning that the pics yesterday were very dark…???…so trying again,  these are very important to me….but  maybe now is no better,  the Light,  from the Sky,  is very odd,  air is full of particles that deflect….ash ,
