the old life…

i went to a party last night and stayed for under 10 minutes and that was 10 minutes too long. it looked like a nice party. not to me but i guess as these things go, it was a nice party it’s just that it was an old party. one i’d been to a few times before and never really enjoyed. had some memorably bad times there and maybe that was all lingering in one of my brains.  maybe it was just the sadness that clings to that house or maybe it’s all my own sadness.




it’s a new life, a new day even though everything looks the same. it’s throwing me off.

winter


the yard feels like an abandoned place. dead leaves carpet the ground










and the lair has been put to bed for the season. 

 but there are tulips coming up












and iris about to bloom
 and we’ve already tasted collard greens with plenty more to come.

the chinese guard stands watch

our prayers have been sent








and the window boxes have been abandoned. almost…

this is my brain…

this is my other brain…



i watched an episode of House yesterday where this guy had several spleens instead of the usual sarcoidosis they always think everyone has.


made me think maybe i have more than one brain and that’s my real problem.



But none of them work very well!

knitting knitting knitting! i stopped in to the old/new Ball & Skein today to drool over yarn. cashmere, alpaca, silk.

dribble dribble.dribble.

now i am on their mailing list. the old owner didn’t have a mailing list only an old dog and so much yarn in the shop it would caress and envelop and sing sweetly in my ear and made me sad i only had two hands and not nearly enough money or time to knit it all.


today i’m thinking about chandeliers.  after the dishwasher shed blood to bring those lights down, my best effort has only yielded a string of lights scattered on a window sill. but now…

now the chandelier has wormed it’s way into my brain and i’m thinking of expanding on this idea…

something i made for em’s room when she went away to school.  only the barbie leg survived the

whole experience.
