color and pattern

wendy is stalking the house today,
looking out windows,
needing attention,
she's not exactly full of beans
but she's better.
i'm thinking of a trip down east with her for a few days.
 this little leaf, a remnant from a dye bundle
 came into my kitchen on my shoe
and left on the breeze.
 there's that burdock sphere
 last night
 also last night
yes, i like the jittery photo best
bloodroot and violet
from the present project

fooling me

monday morning
as august winds down and 
crickets sing.
just pulled out a bundle i dyed with virginia creeper berries 
and another with ice flower hollyhocks. 
 the burdock sphere grows
 there have been many bundles
 monarchs love the black eyed susans
ice flower hollyhocks on wool gauze
and there's wendy, 
who is making her ending her own,
sleeping a lot, 
but also
bossing (just a little) the visiting setters
being very much herself,
when she's awake.
