words in the morning.
IT's EVENING NOW. Monday evening. Last eve i tried and tried to get both pics and words into this post and as it seems to go for some reason, Typepad is too touchy for that on Sunday night. Had to give up. And all day i thought about the lesson this gave. There is something for me to writing at the end of each day. Coming back to this tonight, .... there is a strong tendency to just let it go. so i think about that. how MUCH would be just let go if i gave up posting every day. How do i feel about that.
the dress....Emrie's Michigan Great Gramma sent it. a Christmas dress and she wants to wear it every day till Christmas.
behind her is Alyssia positioning the "sled" at the back of her SUV where the feed store guys stuffed the two bales of grass hay. These are 3 string bales. When Jenny ordinarily brings them, both she and her man lift each bale and carry it down the slope to the feed shed. it occured to me that i should say something about the sled. It's something that Jenny found and bought last year or so? Jenny is a How Are We Going To Get This Done person. They are expensive but they WORK. Allowing things to happen that otherwise could not. It's from Yard Glider.com. She got a large one, maybe 4ft X 10ft and this small one for me. 3 X 4. They don't look like much. but how they work is amazing. the terraine here is steep. Anything with wheels is impossible to control going down hill, impossible to push going uphill. There are also a lot of rocks, large ones. Those pine cones. Sticks. These actually GLIDE along. with the small one i can comfortably haul 4 10 gallon buckets of composted manure and scrap feed to B Garden. I can pile it high with the mucked out bedding straw. HEAVY things. None of this could happen otherwise. The large one is to allow the ongoing forever work of bringing downed branches and cut tree trunks out of the forest to the edge of the road to be chipped someday. a lot of Us here do things OutSide. Thought i could offer this.
the window...all that is on the INSIDE!!!!!.....i'd baked potatoes and a squash earlier. Then heated the kettle to wash dishes. it had rained almost constantly, a night and the day.... and i realized how little i understand about AIR. How is it possible that the AIR inside this tin house can be SO FULL of moisture??????? and i don't drown???????
and then....before going on with more reading of Ways of BEing, i realize i want to more fully understand the thing of
Umwelt
google. one's surroundings or environment, the outer world, as perceived by organisms within it.
the key....as perceived. as perceived. This, is huge. i love it.
spent a lot of time with this thought today.
