Time seems to be slipping past me...
losing track really, maybe that's a good sign. I stopped marking my calendar, I take my chances at remembering.
Food is forming. Not sure what kind of tomatoes these are, forgot. Sure are pretty though.
Malibar got tall. Er.
It's 5 AM, posting early because I have not slept yet. Goodnight day.
Hope the world has not exploded by the time I wake up.
~ Ahhh … letting it all go … I may do the same … forget the list of tasks and float away on the seas of conciousness like your floating boat images.
The top right red- is that wrap stitch ? It’s marvelous. Framing a “story” with patches like yours above might be a solution for me. I have made many of these stories without a plan about how I will finish them. I thought I might arrange them into one big cloth/quilt but had no idea how.
Sending you a cool breeze.

It isn’t but I will talk about these pieces soon. I’m in the road at the moment.
how do you eat your Malabar? Have you tried it for dye yet?
Haven’t eaten it yet. Some say it tastes weird
Do u like it?
Dye, no, the color you get is sort of tan I think, got enough of that.
i eat leaves while i’m in the Garden. They are juicy. different. But
there is a STRONG sense of them being GOOD FOOD. I like
that, trying to be able to grow what might be needed and i think if things were limited, Malabar would provide all necessary nutrients.
and it DOES thrive in Heat. Can eat stems and flowers. berries. I
stir fry leaves and stem in butter or sesame oil. is very much like spinach that way. Will try in potato soup
i can’t get through to internet…so can’t remember if it’s all the plant, but for sure the berries….the color is Purple.
Yes, leaves are very “meaty”, thick. Just taking off here in the heat, we’ll see. Haven’t gotten to the berry stage. A lot of purples fade to tan, and I heard that about this, I’ll try… The water did turn purple when I soaked the seeds before planting.
I love eating edible leaves/flowers etc when I’m ‘gardening’ , we have a lot of wild edible plants that are happy to grow here as I’m very lazy when it comes to proper gardening but I enjoy being surrounded by the greenery and like the physically exhausting chores, such as mowing, clipping and pruning
perhaps you’ve already created your own cloth calendar. no need for the other. sweet dreams, dear friend.
I’m not much of a calendar person really, but I just love this one by my friend valerianna claff. I get one from her every year.
did the moon decide you needed to have a conversation? all. night. long?
Something like that. Actually there was a mosquito in the bedroom.
Dream of a ripe tomato sandwich!
Some ripe ones in the morning maybe, love them off the vine, still warm from the sun, stuffed inside a pepper.
Love the mark-making on cloth. I forget to mark on calendars. Ooops. Nah.
Ha!
To sleep, perchance to dream….
Sweet dreams, Jude!
Gosh I was tired.
It doesn’t matter unless there is some place to be…. 🙂 Love the top photo for its softness. Hope you rest well.
Or if you make too many promises.🙃
I always love catching glimpses of other people’s homes, that sepia photograph is intriguing
time is a concept
That photo was inside a picture frame as a back board for a framed drawing. Dated 1895. Was in my grandmother’s wooden chest.
a hidden treasure!
The tomato: could it be Black Krim or black Zebra? allthough even nameless they vvill taste like …tomato 😀
It was black something, I will find out.
Sleep well 💙
Better now.
Gorgeous tomatoes….and what’s in a name:)..? They look lovely..
Hope you’re more rested..
I love naming things!
Try to get a little bit of sleep maybe you can stop thinking and start pleasant dreams
Did that.
