on my way to first drop off the car for brake work
then to work work
i realized i couldn't manage
i used the cell phone
called in sick
and returned home (intestinal disorder)
but not before i spotted the
rising sun dancing with
ground fog
and bare branches
and corn stubble
what a beginning to a day!
wish i could have given you
a taste of the day:
birds; a weird summer morning
instead, in early spring
then there was this:
over in the land of oz
india was making string
out of tea bag paper
while i was walking wendy
with a handful of milkweed bast
harvested from the meadow
my fingers started to play with the fiber
as they often do, but not
when walking on the road
this little bit of synchronicity,
resting on pink alabama kozo
tickles me no end.
i can't spin while walking.
or so i thought
wendy waited for me
even for a photo,
but i can't spin and photograph simultaneously.
yet!

wendy and i say goodbye to the was cat.
we will miss you.

omg, too beautiful! glad you took the day.
ReplyDeletethe color and the light is a tribute to "our" WAS. I have a cat that looks just like WAS so this touches me greatly. sweet remembering.
ReplyDeleteaimee, i had to! and it was beautiful, foggy, though much grayer this morning.
ReplyDeletehenrietta, was had a presence which will be much missed.
WoW!!! What a glorious sunrise ans sendoff for Was! Just wow!
ReplyDeleteVelma,
ReplyDeleteI feel so sad for Jude. I have an idea, for I feel quite helpless, for she does so much for us and I would like to do something for her. So what if we all make a circle of lights for WAS and Jude? I lit a candle and put it on my blog. Perhaps we could all do this. As many people visit your blog will you help me spread the light? (please don't mention my blog, for it's for Jude and WAS)
nancy and sandra, i think i found the biggest candle of all!
ReplyDeletetwiddling and twining at either end of a very long piece of string
ReplyDeletesome of us can see it
others cannot
that's
how
it
is.
twisted sisters

Strings connect us. Thanks for the gorgeous sunrise and milkweed magic.
ReplyDeleteglorious.
ReplyDeleteV-there are testing times - but the beauty of nature as captured by you gives a little cal mess and as sense of peace amidst the challenges and sadness. Go well and be well. B
ReplyDeletesophie, i was happy to be at home, unhappy to be sick, though i think i've figured it out.
ReplyDeleteyes, heather, thin or thick, silk or hemp, they do
hs, thank you
barry, this world is so damned amazing
foggy beauty.
ReplyDeletetake care and enjoy a day away from work
What a morning! But sorry you couldn't manage. Me too today, cancelling several things, staying close to home.
ReplyDeleteI made that string with India..loved doing it.
Amazing sunrise. The layered line and colors in your corn stubble images, absolute wonder-ful! Is the milkweed thread still silky?

ReplyDeletepenny, and now i know that this is menopause i can manage (and eat more yogurt) again.
