scenes from a sunday.

********








i am an alaskan, through-and-through, down to my bones,
from my sterling hair to my xtratuf boots.

i eat the meat and the fishes of this land.

pinto asked. 
i obliged.
i canned-up the non-human-consumption parts of the salmon
caught yesterday on rabbit slough. 

100 minutes of canning time. 
time enough to sit and knit and ponder my surroundings. 


i love living here. 
this house. 
this hinterland acreage. 
this land i call home. 


****

life is good.

photo. circa 1997.
mister pencilfox.
and. papillon. my first lead dog. [adopted her in 1986.]
way back before mister pencilfox became my boyfriend.
he used to ride his bicycle out, 15 miles, to visit my dogs.
that's when i knew he was "the one"....
and. papillon was the last of my team to accept michael into the pack.
that's another "i knew" moment....

come see me, red dirt. please.
