friends holding each other together

i've had two wonderful friends visiting 

recovering from the sad election

making things with paper and thread.

making (and eating!) food.

recovering from sad hearts and head colds.

aimee lee and therese swift-hahn and me,

we had big hopes of making up a storm.

instead we supported each other

with words, pulp, love,

and chicken soup.

i cleared off my dining room work table

to the amazement of my family.

 outside the barn continues it's decline

swiftly going

two days ago it was over 70 degrees!

indian summer.

 i travelled through the country of the ladies

 and walked my high-up open road

 collected milkweed and remained tick-free!

 therese brought moon water

and the bottle on the far left was seen dancing.

caught on video, but i can't upload.

 therese prepping for kami-ito

 she has magic hands

 aimee's hands were in the hanji vat,

which she set up at SLU's ZONE 4 paper studio

 she made hanji and other papers, and so did we

 and there's a big snow

therese left in the window of good weather, aimee would have too

if her car wasn't in the shop!

 winter is here

 lovely!

back porch doings are temporarily on hold.
