this morning i was reminded again
of beauty,
mortality,
and human doings.
it's rained so much here
and where i was out west, not enough.
not enough and forest fires
too.
i am feeling normal and fit now
i can lift pulp-filled buckets again.
this sign placed by my new amish neighbors has a subscript:
no sunday sales
the semintals look on
i love her piebald face hiding behind goldenrod
her tiny whiskers sunlit
sunshine
on cattle
here's their pasture
with all the things:
woodhenge, signage, machinery,
that woodsy area on the right borders my place
across the road is their old stripey barn
robin's eggshell on my drive
this week i printed
and
made paper
(paper photos to come)
these were pretty fine
and the pot is fine, too
terra enamel diaper pot.
sort that one out for fun!
love the way the gentle beauty and subtle colours of your land is reflected in your work
ReplyDeletethis place is beautiful, and is beginning to change, bowing towards autumn.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are feeling better - and love how you can measure that by picking up pulp! Our days are lengthening and lightening, the world is turning and we find new paths to new seasons. Go well.
ReplyDeletefiona, and our days are shortening, and i've seen some red touches in the woods...i wanted to make paper before i had the ok to lift more than 10 pounds! now i can haul around a couple of 5 gallon buckets, this week full of hemp pulp.
ReplyDeletestill...(warning! unsolicited opinion!!)
ReplyDeletei'd hire a hauler and stay chilling for a couple more weeks.
