where are you summer?

 
It’s wintry cold here these days with the sun not showing up until late afternoon if at all.
I’ve got a new project going here and this morning I started meditating because it seems like a good idea and lo and below, it is. 
Our little trailer comes home today after having its insides and undersides given a good going over and if all goes as planned, we might be heading for the hills, lake, ocean or desert soon and for a long time. Well… not a long time but a few days at least.
Maybe we’ll find some summer. I know it’s out there somewhere.

It’s been quiet and still on 

the ranch these mornings.

Lu plays at being a bunny in the tall grasses.

I’ve been stitching burlap into
a bag for my essentials.

keys
camera 
phone
wallet


and a basket to hold my stones.

Happy Mother’s Day to all you Moms
I had my favorite breakfast lovingly prepared
by my Favorite Person in the world and I got
a pair of red hand crafted sandals that i was lusting over and 
my dog got washed.
What more can a girl ask for?
Well there are a couple things i might
ask for but right now today i’m not going to because i am in full level orange alert mode.













i’m going to close the shades and
 snuggle up in that chair which i found down the street at a yard sale and i’m going to watch some movie or tv show and i’ll probably knit or crochet something to keep my hands moving but my brain still. 
like that can even happen!

I have a new toy.
I’m busy playing with it.
My old toys have been calling
asking why I don’t come 
around anymore and if I’ve
forgotten them.
NO.
I haven’t.

Last night in dream world my grandmother and i were driving to visit my daughter who took one look at my grandmother and ran off because my grandmother was so old and ugly.

i was really mad until i took a look at my grandmother and saw that she was a skeleton and then i wasn’t mad anymore just determined to catch up with my fleeing offspring.


it’s nestling in, this idea of getting old, the slow 
decline into decrepitude. i’m faced with it everyday
as my Mom slips slowly away and i see my grandmother’s face in the mirror. that’s me running in that 
dream as fast as my matronly legs will carry me and that’s
not my grandmother sitting there a bundle of bones in a dress.

i’m not having a face lift or a boob lift or wearing pink velour leggings and a tank top, but i’m not looking askance at anyone who does.

i get it.
