we went to the mtns to see the fall colours

we picked two hatfulls of high mountain rose hips

caterina is now slumped in the recliner *

picking the little fuzzes off the rose hips so they can

go into the dehydrater

and then provide the potential for rose hips jam

syrup soup puree leather most likely tea

they are no doubt an essential element of

pemmican



* the recliner is an updated version of the old 50's butterfly or sling chairs in that structural elements are metal pipe and the seat and back is a one piece padded piece slips over the top struts / extremely comfortable / low enough slung to provide an impromptertou exercixe moment as it takes a bit of ooooomph to lift oneself out of the chair

the leg rest of the recliner is a large exercise ball / the blue one has little legs on one side so it will not roll away when you are not looking / there are six legs they look like teats / udderly delightful / flinging ones legs over the exercise ball and slumping in the chair are essential routines in Improvahoga Yoga

that's that on the recliner chair

except for this : arrange the ball and your legs so that the backs of your knees are in harmony with the top of the ball / bounce up and down gently lightly subtley / clarity resides in the backs of your knees / get in touch with your knee backs

wriggle your toes

goodness / oh yes / it is October
