august

 it's august.

mother earth is pulling out the stops

it's roaring here, after being in cleveland

for 11 days.

the morgan was hopping, with my class and steve's two weekends ago,

then mine with aimee

and the opening of REVIVE AND RENEW

which is beautiful.

and you should see it if you can.

tom checking in with aimee

 elizabeth's dye samples

 tub on ramp, i kid you not

morgan color

 a place to momigami

(did i coin a verb?)

we used water and ink to alter original colors

and discovered riches. 

lake erie sends fresh water

to ontario, my home lake

and on to the st. lawrence

 20 miles from where i live now. 

 cleveland between lake and sky

 dinner partners

lotta, chris, jennifer, aimee

 cleveland over the top

we did not dine with him.

 yuko's shifu

 i bought this japanese book in oz

and opened it for our students

 lovely details

 paper staples

 yuko and ivey

 the sun was a red rubber ball

remember that song?

 as i drove

 out of cleveland

 yesterday

 tom labelled me

 and 

gifted me with three morgan kozo starts

bill's indigo above smells

quite strong.

 here all is changed

after 11 days!

 the girls and their calves

were curious to see me walk after so long

 maybe they forgot me?

the red baby didn't

and he has a name

 fire man

this mornig i woke early

up collecting my stuff to head downstairs at 4:45

light on

and a bat appeared. 

i found it was not so bad

in my room, 

just waking up to them flying over my face 

is problematic.
