I gave out several hundred stickers today at my local NoKings protest. 🤩i love gift economy.
I got a half dozen zines, some stickers, a bracelet, bubbles, and two whistles.
This is Royal, he lives four doors over, and he showed up this week to formally announce he would be supervising my gardening. Sweet boy but very demanding of pets.
Fresh flowers, incense and a beeswax candle on the altar.
Turned the Wheel of the Year to "Estival" - into summer
Drew an alchemical tile to indicate an energetic focus or method to use until the next turn of the wheel: iron. Iron is one of the seven metals, is associated with Mars, the third chakra and the process of Separation.
And I will be streaming THE WICKER MAN (1973) later this evening.
Today's eye procedure left me functional enough that I baked cookies to cheer myself up.
First weather site says it's 82F but feels like 80F.
Second weather site says it's 80F but feels like 91F.
Third weather site says it's 79F but feels like 77F.
I have contemplated installing a thermometer on the side of the shed that I can see from the house, and clearly that would really simplify things.
I'm going to open the front door and see whether I feel unphased or appalled.
(one door opening later)
Okay, I'd call that unphased in the shade but appalled in the sun.
For the nth time since we cleaned out the family house in Seattle a few years back, my younger sibling asked if I had this one specific Betty Crocker cookbook of Mom's. We never found it, which is kinda weird, but there you go.
I went online, found a copy in decent shape and bought it. From 1961, the illustrations are etched in my memory, but I was a teen before I realized the mustaches and goatees on the housewives were hand-drawn additions from Mom. The new one won't look exactly right.
The predicted multiple inches of slow-release water arrived overnight. Hang in there, lilacs!
