on the subject of Needs of Me

i suppose i ought to add 'bathing in a creek-tub' right below 'milking cow' to the ever preposterous and somehow modest list of Needs of Kate

bathing in a creek-tub is Cold. lets call a hat a hat. but while the autumnal gods still manage to throw us a bluebird 80 degree day every once and again i'll be tubbing it al fresco. and when the cold returns i'll be calling on friends for the use of an occasional hot bath.
