backyard, frontyard

 back yard
front yard
 and
 two silver buttons, 
waiting for string
the back of one above
thank you roz.
since school has begun
i'm a bit busy
missed yoga
but getting a few things done.
dyeing silks
goldenrod and rose leaves and wild grape
and indigo
a little cauldron
the end of the indigo harvest
just in time
frost is in the weekend forecast
a zine to welcome the intertime of autumn
pleases me
and yesterday and today news:
a papermaking student from the northwest, jan,
 sent me lovely words
and a dyeing student, 
also from there, jenny
sent me a wonderful postcard: 
a print of usnia and dyed with the same
labor day weekend was amazing with a houseful
a coven
healing and resting
and stitching and making energy.
wild grapes from the frontyard, 
look like the backyard,
on three layer silk
and then there's
today's surprise.
(when i can get blogger to listen
to my request,
i will share that, too.)
it's working into a storm.
wendy is restless.
i have a thing or so to do, before suppertime.

  10. I'm usually rearing to go at the start of school... but this year, seems I've given away some of my resiliency. I'll look for it in the garden. Did you see the weather report? In my neighborhood, the "they" folks are saying that it will be JUST above freezing this weekend, so maybe picking dyeing things is a good idea....
