Grandmother

Old Woman
You have infected me
With knowing, a
Poison dart you lay
Close to my heart
Fester a
Fever of 
Searching
Somewhere near my soul is
The source of you
I wander close to your
Nestled resting place
Your bones jump up
Clatter laughing
Running
Wisdom hummimg
In my ears
You speak the thrumming
Language of Bees
Understanding escapes
Leaving me
To begin again

My Tiny House Inside

Image
 So today I thought I'd show some pictures of my tiny house. This is the inside of the front door. You can see my Art Doll cabinet and my Hello Kitty guitar. One of my fish tanks and the Sunflower linen curtains I made. I think my house is quite large for a tiny house. I have lots of room. I tried to get pictures that conveyed a sense of the roominess. But it is difficult to take nice photos in a small space.   I usually come in the back door of my house because that is where I park and it is a level entry which is nice. The back door opens into my mud room. This is a purely functional storage space where my hot water tank and laundry facilities are. I almost didn't want to take pictures as it is not nessesarly "pretty" to look at. But it holds all my fiber that I use to make fiber art. That is some bulky stuff. It fills multiple garbage bags. I keep it in plastic to keep moths out. As you can see everything in here is organized but it is "organized chaos...

A new start

Image
Ok so I started this this morning and had to start over. Had to change the name of my blog. I realized when I opened it on my computer, instead of my ipad, that I had made some major spelling errors!!! So I corrected them. Sort of. I don't speak Latin you see so I was struggling a little with my spelling. Then I just decided to invent my own. Hence Bombuses! Bumblebees. I'm sure that's a completely made up word but it's how I imagine it to be. So my 4am start is now a mid afternoon start. I named my blog after the indigenous bumblebees here where I live. I love them. I love all bees but particularly honey bees and bumblebees. The bumblebee is endangered these days but there used to be tones of them when I was young. They are so cute and... FLUFFY! I sincerely want to keep honey bees but my family objects due to the fact that I am allergic to their venom. Before I knew this I once captured a swarm of honey bees that landed on my farm. I tried to make a home fo...

Silken Kitten

Image
This is Silken. Silken is my second cat. I got Silken from an add on Powell River Things for Free. Technically you are not supposed to put living things on there. I saw this and went and got her because I was worried she would not find a home. She was absolutely the most darling kitten. I also got Silken for Roanen. He was about a year old when I brought Silken home. He was a terror to live with at that time. I had just moved from a little house in the woods to an apartment in town and Roanen was having trouble adjusting. So he was doing this thing were he would walk in the room. Crouch down in front of me and size me up. Then attack. He would run up the front of me and try to get my face. It was intimidating. I decided he needed something to think about besides himself. So I got him a baby to look after. It worked miracles.  I brought Silken home and put her in my bedroom to adjust the first few days with the door closed. Roanen had to visit through the door. So he figured ...
