the days, the awake time followed by dream time followed by awake time...., the days have been different. First there was Those Wind Days and on monday when i got home from working, i looked around out there. Stood just outside the fence that doesn't exist right now and took this pic of the house. in the next weeks, there will be changes. some of the trees will remain just skeletons but probably again, i won't cut them down because the birds like them just the same, leafed or not. We'll see. and close to where i'm standing with the camera is a square tub that i dragged over from the property next door that is presently abandoned. it's nice and doesn't leak. hand made.
and then yesterday, was surprised by how vulnerable i was to Was, the cat that lived with Jude, dying. i am ordinarily better with death. but not this time. so i began the kantha.
it will fill both side panels. to what extent, i don't know yet. will it go through the grasses? the lightning? on the other side, through the Deb Lacativa mystery, the Glennis buddha window? Or, up to them, around. i am just going to stitch and find out.
and i stitched down one of the black birds, leaving the cloth that i said i wouldn't because it is too prone to Fray. Will see how it holds as the cloth goes up and down from the wall. i want to leave it as is if i can.
by Friday it will be 80 degrees. i need it to stay.
