Yesterday.
The snow began beautifully.
This morning, after rain all night. Another tiny spring. Big Cold is approaching. This has been such a strange winter. We undid the offer we made to the neighbors to walk and ride their ATV through the property, which was made during the deep covid time when their kids were home from school and stuck in the small property with no outlet. I spoke softly, about the need for privacy. The need to leave the nature undisturbed. The need for Soul-o to be less terrorized. And then about the neighbors out back, that they don't like the idea at all. I shared the thoughts we have of building a guest cottage in the woods. And the fear that someone might be injured by falling trees or whatever and the responsibility in that. And it was ok. There was quiet respect and understanding. I had hoped for that. They have a new dog, named Maple. She likes me.
And yesterday this one felt a bit confusing.
Today, I look, and only after a bit of work, it has reached Tapestry level. There is a Oneness. Seemed to happen Suddenly. I know better.
I am talking to myself today, which means I will probably talk to you tomorrow. Time for things to sink in.
It looks like stormy weather around your cat . . .
life is a beautiful storm. And I do love a good storm.
Boundaries matter.
I’ll jot that down because I have begun to reconsider line.
Tapestry look is beautiful 💙💙💙
and now, not tapestry is on my mind.
This morning as I look, I am thinking maybe sometimes it’s about looking closer and then knowing more…
Yeah, it’s really endless.
A blessing to have good neighbors. I have lived here for 37 years and have had all kinds. Good ones are rare.
I love your tapestry– it’s kind of like an I Spy; I see a dragon’s foot emerging to the right of the cats eyes. I see possibilities in the patterns.
So good to have a civil response to a civil request.. It sounds like good neighboring..:)
the tapestry so layered with the familiar face pulling it all together. Stay warm!
I find folks here very different from me in so many ways, but there is more than civil conversation
being honest is important in neighboring.
I fall into this one, it could be anything
I’m so glad and relieved that it went well, Jude.
I’m loving your tapestry, including your video!
gotta get back to the video, I became so lazy with winter.
Hygge.
yes
hope NewDog doesn’t come to like you too much…needs to
learn to stay home
she is small, fenced in because of coyotes etc. But I am allowed to take her for a walk… A retriever and collie mix, the color of syrup.
Relief after a delicate conversation…good, good.
you just gotta come out and talk it through.
I’m glad you came to an understanding with the neighbors. ATVs are noisy and disturb the Peace. Loving the evolving tapestry, such a beautiful word.
The work as presented in the photo as it appears in my browser is already striking, but when I open it in a new tab and zoom in…..WOW!! All of the fitting around the existing patterns with little bits of fabric and stitching. I hope to have the patience to do this someday. That moon!
Have you spoken at all about the black-and-white 8-patch? Is this a new direction from the 9-patch?
PS. I received Dots#2 yesterday. Even more beautiful than in the shop photos. Thank you!
I think I have but let me go back and find that.
Your wording always speaks to my heart. The little red dots cause me to stop and contemplate. It leaves me with soft, thoughtful, warmth, peace and quiet. Thank you for that moment.
I always feel that the tiniest details are like words unspoken. But yet still heard. Thank you for listening.
Oh my goodness, what a treat . . . thank you Suzy for your comments on the little red dots – I was curious what you meant and took a second look. I had no clue that if I hover over the word with my mouse that more thoughts are shared by the fabulous Jude.
I’m glad there was Understanding.
Yeah, there is a way to that if both sides are willing.
Good considerations, all around, Jude. Our neighbor recently purchased the wooded property next to us and, knowing how much I love its undisturbed existence, asked me to walk it with to review what could be removed without affecting the wildlife. I greatly appreciated his willingness to do this, and the trust he put in my advice.
Always goode to talk to yourself, Jude, especially if you are looking for intelligent conversation!🙂
well you know at first it was just once in a while, but then it got crazy.
