my Butterfly Calendar…made in China for me   says    today is Earth Day      tomorrow,  both Passover and Full Moon lets just think about that for a minute. an Email yesterday    from   Work that Reconnects    a   LIVE webinar    Joanna Macy.   Live.     Probably most of us know her and her work….she's…

on the  sled.    composted….decomposed…..  Goat  manure  and bedding straw    from the Rain House.     that sat,  all the "winter" months in a pile.     Loaded here to travel down to the Garden and be mixed with garden soil from somewhere like Home Depot or Tractor Supply   That Jenny brought      soon to be…

coming back up from B Garden,   pulling along the "sled" that i'd used to take down the bag and box of amendment,  being out  of  breath,   out of steam…….i stopped to lean into the tree.   Into and against a      tree.   squatted.   breathing.    resting.   and as i am doing,    with the teachings…

if you let your gaze just roam,   lightly    you see them almost everywhere.    Tiny single flower atop a "tall" stem.   Only one at a time.   maybe can say the size of a grain of rice if it was round.     Impossible to photograph without blur because of movement and movement even when there…

emptying the GroBags into the rest of the beds            there was this tangle of roots   and     the odd forms      ?????    they looked like some kind of egg of something but were not..   were dry and hard  ish ,    I left this draped on the back…

that i mentioned yesterday.    All the Deb Threads out of it,  on the round Basket of Things,   i looked at it today.  Separately.  As itself.   the things that were in it prior to her Threads.    All that i've had for a long time     years    .    But the bag its  Self. …

Deb Lacativa asked for pics of our stashes of her Dirty Threads.    The majority live in the heavy zippered plastic bag from the hallway closet  of my childhood home.   That bag,   in the bench basket to my left….at the ready for Evacuation.   the rest in the little oval basket on this Morning and Everything…

on Alyssia's doorstep in town.    where 6 human beings go in and out,   2 house cats,  2 dogs .     Here,   this afternoon,   Minnow bugs to be let out.   it's raining.   Finally open door      freeze frame     full size Jackrabbit    she leaps out and it takes off at incredible speed down…
