Full Cool Front in June Moon
Yall,
6-14-19 Oh yes, oh my it has been cool around here this week, delightful no less. P and I have been working in the yard y'all and feeling good.
So, I'm straining my so called brain to come up with a name for this FMA when my bud prairiedog sent the following text "Good morning dem guy dey say it gon be a col front comin i gotta little bity peabrain Ol Poss but i does remembrr clearly that the only time i seen a col front in june before was right after hurricand darla and right before rita and katrina and Ol Poss you know dat was some sh_t yea ahm jus sayin"...I know he is a bit hard to follow some times so I told him that I did not remember H. darla but i remembered the others and that he should ask his wife if it was time to take his meds. We are good buds and we poke at each other all the time.
Like I said we have been enjoying the cool.
Full moon is monday 331am. The Full Cool Front in June Moon rises as the sun sets. Full moon rise sunday is 743pm and monday is 840pm. Sunset is 810pm monday. This should be a fantastic rising, every sunrise/sunset, moonrise/moonset are gifts not to be wasted, enjoy!
The last line reads "I want to be someone making music with my coming."
5-16-19 Today is the first day of my Distance Learning online class. Sigh. To celebrate the occasion and settle my pre-class jitters I walk out to the front of Hamilton Hall on campus and rest my eyes on the Cajun Prairie patch, all 400 sq ft of it. We justify it's existence by calling it a Pollinator Habitat... whatever...there is a Monarch Butterfly working over the flowers and a cloud of small black bees harvesting pollen from the Monarda fistulosa, beebalm. It does not take long out there to soften and sooth my eyes. Magic y'all, the same stuff Forest Bathing comes from.
5-17-19 Graduation ceremony then home to mow the sward. Always good to see the children you welcomed a few years back walking up on stage confident adults ready to produce.
How about a quote from the King and I? Rodgers and Hammerstein, 1956:
"It's a very ancient saying but a true and honest thought that if you become a teacher, by your students you'll be taught."
5-18-19 Formosa Azalea pruning begins today! This is the first year that I am close to starting on time. At some point I straightened up to stretch the back and sigh when I spotted a MIKI straight overhead waltzing with the wind. Those little Kites are amazing masters of the air currents and I so look forward to their return each EarthDay. 1245pm we loaded up the station wagon and headed to Prairieville for a double birthday celebration, pool party and crawfish boil. Oh my! Matthew is 11 and a new boy scout and Emma is 13 and a willowy brown beauty like her mom. These crawfish were my first and last of the season. Basin bugs and gorgeous. Ollie, 92 came with us and had a fine time. However, at 92 your "filter" is broke and you tend to say inappropriate things like "Hey,these beautiful, free, all-you-can-eat crawfish were "getting hard to peal". Double sigh!
5-21-19 We get the call, 330am, Ollie, 92 is having trouble breathing. At the ER, and these people are wonderful, skilled, kind, quick. Pneumonia, no symptoms, just taking up too much lung capacity, but no fever just feeling a little weak. One week in hospital and two in in-house Rehab Hospital and then we are out trying to get him reoriented and self sufficient enough to stay here. P is totally exhaused and I'm really tired.
5-27-19 Oil Train, slipping n sliding through my town.
5-29-19 Oil Train, just sitting idling on the edge of town waiting for tracks to clear, E bound. 4 oil burning engines, 2 boxcars, 1 mile of tankers, each 9'11" diameter, 53' long, 110 of them holding 29000 gallons of oil each.
6-4-19 We didn't leave for our two week vacation in N California, SF, Sonoma, Forest Bathing among the Coast Redwoods. Sigh, next time.
6-5-19 Empty Oil Train headed E at sunrise.
6-6-19 Huge rain here N of I-10. At home 4". Paula heard first locust of year but forgot to tell me.
6-8-19 As I round the bend to let the girls out of the coop this morning I noted that some of the Elodea has been pulled from the small patio side garden pool. Then in passing the on the ground wildlife water feature/birdbath(bluejays) i noted what looked like a little body floating. I pause for a second look and it is moving, a redeared slider, same guy or girl who did the mischief at the other water feature. What a refreshing visit. my wildlife water feature/birdbath sits at 22' elevation above sea level, on a ridge between the Bayou Teche and a bunch of crawfish ponds near Lake Tasse, so he/she could have been moving in any direction. I found a dead Cicada on patio, all hollowed out, but fresh killed.
6-9-19 Ollie back at assisted living with oxygen
6-12-19 Lil Buck Senegal died today, 75, an amazing guitar player, put out a lot of good music. Played music all around.
6-13-19 Real Ollie progress! We are so thankful for the family who stepped in to help and the angels we hired to help us get through this.

From Margaret:
"One of my favorite young people's poetry book
by Naomi Shihab Nye is A Maze Me. For one, this is a great title with multiple meanings. It's a
book of poems specifically for girls. The poems comfort, amaze, and give
readers a sense of the timelessness of childhood.
My favorite line of poetry appears in the poem
Ringing that seems to be about all the sounds of ringing a child may
hear. The vegetable truck, milk truck, and the ever-ringing ice-cream truck.
"They are all bringers."
The last line reads "I want to be someone making music with my coming."
Along with all the luscious on the lips
m-sounds is a deeper meaning. A longing we can all relate to. We want to be
expected. We want to be adored. We want to be loved. Naomi captures this
universal longing in one simple line. That is the genius of her poetry.
I sing lullabies to my grandson. I am
embarrassed if anyone hears me. But I shouldn't care. I want to be the someone
in his life who makes music with my coming. This is love."
Thanks Margaret, because of you opening my eyes to Naomi's work, I bought her book to share with my granddaughters. I am not disappointed.

"Lucretius just presents this marvelous and important idea that
what we are made of will make something else, which to me is very important.
There is no nothingness — with these little atoms that run around too
little for us to see. But, put together, they make something. And that to me is
a miracle. Where it came from, I don’t know. But it’s a miracle, and I think
it’s enough to keep a person afloat."
Y'all do not waste the gift, you and your people need to be there! moonrise sunday or monday around 8.
peace love possumhugs
