Yes and diamond sparkle but they also cut glass.

I love that photo of the laundry. Makes me think of that poem by Richard Wilbur... I will have to go look it up now.

I agree... Little altars everywhere. And a really beautiful sublime post. And i asked d if all radiators have copper innards and no they don't.

Ok... It's a couple of days later as I'm reading this... On Friday. You must know its an altar cloth by now. A place to put sacred things. Your stitches are sacred things.

You've given me enough for a movie in my mind. Animals at play are delightful. We watched a squirrel today jumping and twisting and climbing and then doing it again and again... Playing!

I love getting the sense of how they play.

I like to honor rather than worship.

As you know I have not been going to many blogs.... I have been trying to cut back on computer time. Don't watch tv. And truly I do not get bored. I feel like I have a plethora of things to do... To choose from at any given moment. I come here ... Well... Because I'm curious. What are you thinking about now? What do you do while you are living your life that is soooo different than mine? How is it that with our lives so different we still have so much in common? And that I have so much respect for the way you see things. Of course you write in a way that makes me think... I like that too.... Even if I don't always " get" everything. Because that is part of it too. If I watch long enough I probably will get it.... And I can always ask if I don't. Here's an example. The dove. Never would a dove or anything like it land in my backyard and last all day long. A cat would have come by. And you have a cat... So where was tazmina? ... You see I get wrapped up in your life. It's like we are talking over the back yard fence. Only I could never borrow a cup of sugar. Probably people don't talk over the backyard fence... That in some ideal story life in my imagination. But it's like it's happening here. That's why if you really want to know...

Stuff is stuff. Yup! Whether its a kid in the city or a lost child in Sudan it all boils down to the human condition that stuff is stuff. We just love, no exceptions. Their own story will come forward... Same with cloth if you let it.

i put the two images, before and after up on my desktop to be able to really compare... wow! i liked it before of course but now i like it even more... not that whether i like it or not is important.... its what you think that matters. but its the space that makes the difference as many have noted already.

i hope whomever it was got the message... geesh. you are remarkable civil!

me too, velma... thanks for the spin on hearts, jude!

i signed up as soon as she emailed me about it so i am in too. and i want to take the contemporary boro 2 class as well. making useful things. i think that is my theme this year.

what if the body of the butterfly was apparent? with the little antennae?

well that makes three! angels first then snow angels! we have had some snow here which is a treat because it comes and goes so fast!

on the first and fifth pictures the sky has this 50's postcard look. i feel like i'm going back in time not just to the fifties but early earth era. all of the photos are just so grand. i'm glad you are going to take more. i wish we had gone there when we visited... but we just couldn't do it all!

grace you are too generous... i wasn't hinting...honest! but thank you so much... i accept with gratitude!

well... i haven't found a needle i really love yet. maybe i will try these. thanks grace.

funny... so did i!

keep going... that would be your advice to me! so i give it to you! sending love which is the most important thing.

only love!
