OF the Day.
It's hard to express how dark it has been here lately. A little nine to give that form...
It's hard to say how wet it is and it is still raining. I'm thinking we might need new words to go with this new climate.
Leaves are turning. It is almost October after all. Maybe you have seen the pictures of the flooding in New York City and north here in the Hudson Valley. The thing is, here in this part of the Valley, well just picture a 30 foot pile of rocks with a river running underneath. No water settles for long on the ground here, it moves right through and continues on it's way. I can hear it, undergound, sometimes.
The wood is dry. Good timing.
I am probably going to update the shop with a few stitched things tomorrow evening, we'll see.
Listening to your voice and thoughts, while sitting in the plane heading home…and feeling part way there already. oxo
Hope you had a good restful trip.
The skies here continue to cry none stop.. so again last night, no moon, just thunder and lightening.. but this morning! Some clear blue with the large moon setting! I was so happy!! Your voice is so calming, I cant imagine it waking your man!
Ha, I’ll pass that on to him…
The yellow in that leaf is astounding, and your nine patch is wonderfully mystical, hinting at your hidden rivers. And then there’s those stacks of wood that bring us back to practicality.
There is nothing quite as simply grounding for me…as stacking wood. Well, maybe making soup and turning compost, and then 9.
Smiled as I listened to you. Yesterday I arranged nine dots into a square and thought of you. And then I took them apart and started stacking them on top of each other. Thinking of the water running underneath.
I love yout stacking!
Floods & drought.
Light & dark …
Change of Season…
Love listening to you tell the story of the nine patch.
And a river beneath you.
((Hurray for high ground!))
Planted chrysanthemum this morning.
Now to ninepatching!
Higher ground was a good choice…
Sunday morning and listening to your ‘nine-patch story’ here in Amsterdam. What could be better?
hey, Good Morning to you then…!
Wow. A River beneath! I would love to hear a River beneath me! I see you envisioned the Harvest Moon in your cloth…🌝
Can be a bit unsettling…
