This is the month. Nothing forcast less than 97, with some of those over 100 degree days. And how it is. I'd like to watch this more closely than i have. Watch how the Use of the Day differs now. How early Morning becomes so critical. I'd like to watch more closely how the Goats work it. This might become important to know. The Goats had company today. Alz B's daughter came. From Seattle. She set up in their rain shelter, just sitting in there, as it was the only real shade at that hour and they came and went from her. She was happy as a clam in that poopy straw place (dry poop) but it inspired me to continue looking for someone around who might really like being with them. So...soon, i'll put up another flyer at the grocery store. I KNOW there's someone. And Bill offered some good ideas about resurrecting the Salon. They had enjoyed rubbing against it and it had collapsed. So, i'll try again soon.
and i began the morning going back to Joan at CopperCreekers blog to listen more to Rising Appalachia Sunu and got all energized by that AGAIN, and remembering how in my other lives i used to Decorate myself and got as far as
this. Two little braids of the hair that is so ALMOST long enough to be captured in the barrette but not quite but also doesn't seem to want to.... so i braided them. But then ran quickly out of interest. It was nice in the moment tho.
and some more birds. Maybe enough birds.
Finished The Soil Will Save Us and yes, i do have HOPE. It is an excellent book and the last half is a clear and great picture of how more and more dyed in the wool Agriculturists are looking at these practices with Interest. All around the Planet. Some for altruistic reasons, but many others, because it WORKS. So, it looks to me like a Win Win and might at the very least Buy some time.
and maybe the best of reading it is that there is a whole new and renewed sense of what i am doing Out There as being more than what meets the eye. Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis. Even the "weeds". I look at how GREEN the "dread" Kochia is. Photosynthesis. Healing disturbed earth. That's what weeds are for. Healing. Many new and very good thoughts.
