Found. I was working on a 2 inch square cloth and had used a few of this blue cloth but then....needing more went to find. Gone. Looked each day. Nothing. Then gave up. On finding this cloth and on finishing the cloth made of many many 2 inch squares. Making masks. Using batik and even false(fake) batik as the base fabric is very tightly woven. And what was lost, is found.
There is very little of that deepest blue (mid left edge). And the light cloth is different- but that cloth was also needed to make the large cloth larger. Hand painted cloth. I could have painted more if I hadn't found this small pile. When this is gone- ........... I feel the same about Deb L's scraps.
My friend's father and I share the same birthdate- years apart..ha!- He has many caregivers and they are very very careful- changing clothes and shoes on the back porch before entering the house. But this happens. He has had a fever for a few days and had stopped eating. He tested positive for Covid 19 as did one of his caregivers. My friend is now back in Maine doing a fourteen day quarantine. She's an RN. And, like me, has asthma issues. She gave me one of her inhalers when I couldn't get my prescription filled. She is my Master Gardener Buddy. So this is hard for me. And today an email from her-- the rhubarb in her yard is ready to pick. Come she says- "I'll wave at you from the window".
So many emotions today. Tears just on the edge.
My second loaf of No Knead bread is in the oven baking. Five more minutes and I remove the lid and let it bake uncovered for 15 more minutes. Always excited to see how it looks when I take off the lid. Bit nervous. Mail truck passing by. Life goes on.
We saw a house for sale in the newspaper. $2.235 million. Small. No mention of bedrooms only the 140 feet on the ocean. But Horizon. You can see where the water meets the sky. Too expensive but I would like to own a house where I can see the Horizon. The sky meeting land or water. Before I die.

I would like that too. To be able to see the horizon. Either that or a long vista toward rolling hills, like in the Berkshires.
