Welcoming Neighbor

Out for an amble, the first in over a week, I was, on my way back, greeted by a neighbor.

I've always anthropomorphized, it made sense given the behaviors I've seen. And now, with Monica Gagliano having proved that plants can communicate, recognition of tarantulas seems all the more appropriate.

Dr. Gagliano -- 2018 Bioneers Conference

Ajo and Tucson

We stopped in Ajo to visit with Suzan where we got a tour of The Curley School, now converted to Artists' lofts, a conference center, with gardens and chickens!



They've left the halls unadorned so they echo...just like in the olde days.

Suzan's new shingle. In addition to mosaic and mixed-media work, she practices healing arts.

In her studio.

Her three-legged cat, Tessa.

Then it was on to Tucson where we found a needle-in-a-haystack. Afterward, she went West and I East. Now enroute to bake pumpkin pie in Albuquerque before returning to thread the needle.

Wildlife!!!!

(It appears to have grown a leg from its back.)
