As August Passes

The road in.

I tried my best to  cut it back a bit, enough to fit through the brush,  will wait till the grasses start to die back before any cutting.  Check the terrain for any obstacles.  Stumps, rocks.  Didn't really get to it, summer went so fast.  The right side is basically an overgrown meadow.  Used to be a sheep farm.  Hoping to  get it cleared, mowed,   and then  actually see what's growing there, manage it a bit. Sheep? Ha! I'm such a dreamer.

The goldenrod has begun to bloom. I'm going to need some gravel, the muddy holes are a bit much to handle. Worse than they look.

I recorded a video in the wrong format ( I'm so loopy) so I could not put it here as a YouTube video, I made a reel on Instagram, hopefully I can embed it here. If it doesn't work right I am sorry.

I'm getting used to the fact that there is a tree in the center of this round( octagon) house.

Today I am mending my jeans. Again. Truth is, the clothwoven patches aways seem to wear the best.

not much denim left

It always takes time to know whether you guessed right.

    Your jeans make me think of sashiko’s origins. Do you ever include figures or geometric patterns when you’re adding patches or reinforcing an area? It would be fun to see one of the cats guarding a newly added piece, or perhaps a moon smiling from a corner.

    Jude~ I was waiting to see what would become of this face. It shines. Love the worn heart chest fur. Those jeans are really something!!

  4. I’m in need of gravel, too. I’ve got a drainage issue and a bit of my driveway is washing away… oy. That beast seems strong, upright and sturdy. Summer is definitely going fast.

    Your jeans are a testament of determination…eduring…thriving..and
    commitment. What a great way to share how we survive in many
    senerios of growth and deversity!
