Julian on the left.  the boys have been best friends since grade school.  through his decision to home school,  through covid.  Through and up to his 8th grade when he'd always said he'd return to public school,  which he did.  we were some worried.  He was not.  and this year,  his freshman year of high school,  here he is.   The self he has created and continues to create,  at the end of this week attending the Top Ten Awards Ceremony ,   as one of the top ten academic students  of his class.  

This is her  Quenceanera,  in Hispanic cultures,  a Celebration marking a 15 year old girl's birthday into womanhood. (and we can let this sink in)

Best friends.  and it continues.

 

 

 

I wanted to take a pic of the bell,  so on the way to evening feed,  i walked the short distance over  and tapped the phone camera.  looked down,  looked up and in those seconds,  the     Light     had changed and given           this.          I have never seen this color before.  and it was only there for seconds.    

waited too late.   i wanted eat off  the vine  green beans,  Seychelles,  and the tried and true Kentucky Wonder.   Out of Stock.  Ok and i also wanted for the first time,  Scarlet  Runner,  inspired by CatherinE   and of all things,   they do not send Scarlet Runner to California….?????     I want them for the humming birds.   and i really,  really want them for the hummingbirds.   So maybe this time around i just build a beauty Full trellis?  What will that feel like?,  to build it in anticipation?

from a thrift shop,  years and years ago.   history unknown.   it's surprising how little there is "out there" about the creation and lives of baskets.  maybe i just don't know how to look?,  will keep trying
