The learning seems magnified lately. I feel like I didn’t know anything, does that happen to you? Suddenly nothing applies. The grow cloth gathers new meaning. I am happy to have it. To hold and consider. Recorded on Solstice… The Grow Diaries will be part of the Forever Zone soon, as I try to refocus my efforts on detail. Please note, The Forever Zone has been taken off sale in the shop. I am changing my mind about how […]

Dad here, like a Shepherd… Although I didn’t always want to hear it, Dad always gave me sound advice. He mostly always knew when I was not OK. I can say I miss that. There is a piece of Dad’s old shirt on the Grow cloth.

Eye now focus on one large cloth. Grow. I would like to finish it by year’s end. And it can still span spring, summer, fall and winter. Seasoning. Today it is a basket.

There is no point, she said to her(my)self, to blog without allowing comments. What’s the point then? That’s the thread that runs through it. Holds it together. Validates this cyber space as a place, the web. So then what is the point of comments if you don’t answer them? If you can. 6 strands of thread here. A bigger needle. A bit harder to pull the thread through, but problem solving is what we do. That is what growing is. I […]

Grow is in my mind I slept so well I am confused. Where am I? Comments remain closed here through June. This is just a very busy personal time for me. I have missed a lot of emails. If I did not answer, just try again.

Looking here. Looking has become quite an activity. Or, really, just passing by. Humming to myself. The back of one cloth over another. Some scrap over that. And now Grow over that. Sometimes I just live with this, forgetting about what might be underneath, for a long time. Maybe forever. Moving through days as needed. I drew some lines with a sharpie. I pinned some cutouts. But mostly I don’t know. What if it is just ok? The illusion, in […]

Walking through the forest yesterday, suited up to battle ticks and flying things. It’s been humid and wet, less human friendly lately. The paths are overgrown, the green is thick, and the water that spills through the stone wall to the adjoining property, it is indeed forming a pond-like environment. I am going to ask the neighbors to stop riding through on their ATV, an arrangement we made during winter, with my permission, to give the boy an activity […]

The porch repair has changed the view, from outside, there is more through. The gutter has made a big change in the erosion. The flowers I did not plant always surprise me the most. The new eyes I am planting on the cloth I call Grow, they form so slowly. Just wait, I mumble to myself. The actual garden has far outpaced the one I imagine myself to be. Tomatoes do well here. I planted some seeds. Plants have popped […]

Wood chips. There is no denying that May keeps me outside. The mountain of chips seems to be endless. I even like it as a landscaping element. I have used them to start some paths into the wooded areas as well as fill in the the garden walkways. I left another planting strip near the fence which has given me tons more room and a built in trellis. Grapes have been planted on the side that will not throw shade […]
