Tomato Days. They are coming in now. Changing color. The Snow White Cherries are not as deeply green anymore. We had sliced ripe red tomatoes with fresh mozzarella and basil for supper last night. And the last of the Peach Pie for dessert.
Maine --and most of the US--will be having high humidity and high heat fro the next three days. I walked around Maine Street in my Town today with my friend. We stopped and had iced coffee and a chat and we also stopped to sit on a bench and enjoyed a nice cool breeze as we watched traffic go by. Not too many walkers. It was good for me to talk with an actual human in person.
I did some plant based dyeing yesterday. Getting mostly yellow again. So those cloths are drying and will be over dyed with something deeper. Darker. With spots and splotches. Yellow isn't my favorite color. Dirty brown and beige are more what I am looking for--with stains and veins and shadows.
I am in a reflective Mood. Wanting to be a better person. A better artist. A better friend. A better witness to my life. I am OPEN to change. OPEN to improvement. Eyes, hands, heart and mind.
i have come to know a woman in the last year and two, but mostly in the last
ReplyDeleteyear who has invited me in to her life every morning. Making me comfortable
in her home, taking me with her as she mindfully moves through her days. We sit together and look at things. Wonder about them. Remember things. We look at
chairs and plants. Think about things. Share the love of Making in a very
quiet and genuine way, with
no pretense.
I guess those last two words are where i was trying to arrive at, in thinking
about wanting to tell you about this Friend of mine...no pretense.
Her name is Joanne Suley. she writes. draws. works with cloth. she is Open.
