Current Photo Friday theme: Arranged

Today, I arranged cards from a couple of decks to see my characters as archetypes based on animal energy. Then I also started matching them to archetypes from Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung’s list of twelve that includes Innocent, Ruler, Creator or Artist, Sage, Explorer, Rebel, Hero, Magician or Wizard, Jester, Everyman, Lover, and Caregiver.

Current Photo Friday theme: Heatwave


Sitting outside during the dogs’ midmorning recess, iced coffee and a coloring page next to me, but staring at my poor scorched grass. It’s 87°F before 10 AM, partly cloudy, with afternoon showers in the forecast. I hope the forecast is accurate.

ETA: The forecast wasn’t accurate. We got a few minutes of a very light drizzle.

Current Photo Friday theme: Broken

It’s hot as blazes in Houston. I’ve had to take my website private while I repair damage done to it by malicious jerks. Around 7000 corrupt posts covering 18 years. Terra cotta pottery isn’t the only thing broken around here. Technology and its villains have made me feel a bit broken, too.

Broken pottery can be used in the bottom of other plants to give them better drainage. With time and work, I’ll be useful again, too.
