So I'm back on the peace pin track ...
sending out watery blues (indigo dyed linen, above) and greens (not shown because the camera could not capture it to my satisfaction). They are headed to Hunter in Hawaii and Carol in Indiana.

I received in turn a "care package" from Fiona Dempster in Australia (who hopefully has not been affected by the recent cyclone) ...
Even the envelope was a joy to behold! If you haven't already, I very much commend her blog to your attention:
I also heard from Dee that her pin arrived in Massachusetts ... her email arriving on a day when I had lost sight of finding joy. Reminding me when I needed reminding.

being sure to point out the perils of kite-eating trees ...
And here's the latest view of the mealy blue sage bud that I've been photographing for the past few weeks ...
Imagine them by the hundreds ... drought and deer resistant, blooming in spring and fall ... they are a true gift of the land. Once they make a mass appearance, I'll try to capture an image of them to share here.
