more windfallen treasure

walking back from City Park in New Orleans

i found several pieces of Spanish Moss [ Tillandsia usneoides ]

in the gutter of the road

so of course

it is now in a bundle

with a very special old and mended apron from Japan

and several pieces of metal pocketed

from the railway line near the banks of the Mississippi River

[that's em ei ess ess ei ess ess ei pee pee ei]

how many i's in the Mighty Mississippi?

depends how many fish is lookin up at you

the bundle is rather bigger than my little travelling cauldron

and so is being cooked bit by bit

first from one end and then from the other

time is your friend in the dyebath

[well, i hope so]

we were quite sad to leave New Orleans

but

are now at Shakerag

beginning a new adventure
