Hi, Poet-

We have our A/C working non-stop. Actually, right this moment it is seeming less humid out.

We've been through a few kiddie pools with our Goldens, but usually they claw holes in them before very long. We take them for a long walk every day, and there is a small park in town where they can take a dip in our river. Today melanie found a rotting carcass (skunk?) in the park to roll in, but we were able to clean her up in the river. If I could get that bedbug secretion bottled, she would love to put on some generous dabs each day. There are times when us humans just don't get it, according to Melanie. I'm glad you enjoyed my report, and I hope you are feeling better. Thanks for kind words and thoughts.

JC

And so my dear Poet,

We had dinner this lovely evening, outdoors, under the the watchful eye of Mt. Rose,

A stately woman,.. A shapely woman.. and a very wise woman, I must say.... and we listened to the quail call..

And I thought, I am so glad they are out there, although I did not see them.. It is comforting to know they are there.. I have to know..

there is space for me and thee
and that cougar behind the tree
and I wish the "others" could only see,

If we can not get there, it is still okay.. If that tree falls in the forest, it is still heard, I know, by the jay, by the ground squirrel, by the mule deer, by the Wapiti, by the western bluebird, and of course, by John Muir ..

And so that wildness has to be preserved, whether it is in me, thee,.. or that redwood tree..
