this morning:
four snapping turtles
one walking, two laying eggs, and one road killed
two whitetail yearling does
one kingfisher
one mourning dove
two crows
on the way to my house from Home.
at my house i have a big trip to get ready for:
Victoria, British Columbia: Seattle and Tacoma Washington.
books to sew
paper and supplies to wrap.
organization to attempt.
here's one of a pair of osprey we spotted on vacation
sublime pie in machias
and terrific haddock and clams
a road killed subject for the sketchbook
at pbi i met so many remarkable people.
two young book artists
had work that moved me deeply
this is michelle's book
PARTICULAR
PARTICULAR
she made the paper and printed it letterpress
it starts quietly and builds
and builds
the index
and woody's book
Words and Vegetables
this one tickles me
type plays with story and with space
and this book
parsley
more typographic play with story integral to that play.
and I have been reading
this book is a long essay about aboriginal ways of living
how different their relationship to land is compared to the conquerors
a story familiar, like the one here.
only that land is so much more fragile than north america.
Nourishing Terrains and Braiding Sweetgrass are rich resources
for my pondering.
for my pondering.
and here is, again, a turtle,
from nourishing terrains in australia
but seen,
this time of year
hereabouts on sandy roadsides,
diligently laying eggs.
