Feeling it...
We had to replace the old stovepipe joint last spring.
There it is like a big root vegetable in a summer soup. Looks ready for something.
The little stone house we wanted to buy got snatched up before we could get it together.
And walnuts are dropping.
Walls Bared.
Momentarily looking like open space.
The light has changed. I saw a school bus yesterday. My boy turns 39 this weekend and he just bought a house. It's hot as hell. And I'm sorting through the BIG BASKET...scraps of self. And Feeling Fine.
September Newsletter in the works.
Oops...
Acorns have been falling.
Mostly encouraged by squirrels.
I've been thinking about my folks. It always comes in between seasons. The two acorns reminded me of them. Together. Through whatever was.
Yes it's been a bit cooler. But this week will be hotter still. And humid. I always remember the late heat that often coincided with going back to school. The hot un-airconditioned classrooms. The difficulty concentrating. How Dad would be home waiting to whisk us off to the beach for a late swim. Like a little bit extra summer vacation.
I stitched a moon cabin. Because I am preparing for my Patchwork in Perspective. I'm looking back fondly at my patched past. Gathering. Documenting. Reconsidering its use to give it wholeness. There's a bit of Mom's wedding dress in there. The silk velvet. Dyed blue like the old sky. She gave it to me and said make something out of it, make it useful. I could have altered it and made it into a dress. But I don't much wear dresses. I like it better like this. Holding the late August moon. For all of us. Part of the bigger basket.
