around the place

 there are reddish rocks here

and in spring especially these little bits

of potsdam sandstone

show up.

i think the road crews 

fill up at the local sand pits

and some of them 

 have a bunch of this stuff.

i like it.

i like the layers.

 and i like holding them in my hand as i walk.

 it's a leftover pumpkin 

and prints on old pages

 old pages, latin.

and contact print over pressure print

lichen under and on cotton under plants.

i've been having a conversation with my friend catherine.

 work here 

and at the new place continues.

i love

the honorable nature of work clothing.
