a lot of times, anymore, and more and more, the longer i live alone and the longer my world becomes populated by only internet people, i find myself not even really trying at all to make myself clear in conversations. i don't know if this is good or bad. maybe it's neither. or both. whatever,
but when someone inquires about what's going on with me lately, i have talked about my quest for walnuts. sometimes it's very short. "i'm trying to find someplace where i can look for N Mex native walnuts" the response varies from oh. to what for and then to oh not an animated conversation. so i had one of these with the geologist son of my alzheimer woman who i also work for. they do a lot of geology field work all over the state so he would know, i thought. and anyway, i reported to him about no walnuts this year. i must have sounded particularly sad because the other day Honk Honk Honk outside the big gate. all happy, he presented me with this surprise
it's 2 lbs of pure Walnut powder. he located it on i-net. for dyeing hides. Traditional Tanners in Cave Junction, Oregon. the directions that came with it are interesting. they use a pound for a whole hide. so. here we have it.
