050808

nearing the end of a somewhat tedious week. hooray. sunday i made myself go out with my camera and wander a little. i am not sure if i am really burned out, or if i am just flabby from not using my eyes lately, but i felt very … forced. i had to work hard to find and see and capture. maybe i am just sick of my surroundings? i’ve never lived anywhere as long as i have here and i have gypsy blood, i’m sure. and a military upbringing. anyway, i found some things i want to play with a little. what else? oh my. the artTable is not very inspiring this week either. i’ve been working in my journal mostly. then wallowing and reading under the quilt my mama made for me. and full-blown allergies. my god. awful. snot flying everywhere. even the roof of my mouth has been itching for the last two mornings when i wake. i checked the pollen count. oak and mulberry. yesterday morning i saw a fox on the way to work. yes! a real one. and in a neighborhood. i was fairly close and watched him for a long time. he was ragged and very nervous. i wish my economic stimulant would come.

    During one of the last big snow storms I was standing on my front porch at midnight watching the snow fall, and a fox ran right up on the porch! I live a block from downtown Lawrence.

    oh!!!!!!!!!!! in the LJW a couple of weeks ago, there was an article about a fox family living near NY and 7th streets. there were photos of BABY FOXES. omigod. i wanted one so badly. that must be near your neighborhood. my fox was near 11th and Mississippi. i also saw one in the park on campus one foggy morning. what a treat.

    it was irritating that the LJW was so specific about the location of the fox family. i hope people didn’t come by and bother them. i restrained myself …
