Fri. July 11, 2025: Sticky Paint

image courtesy of JymLens via pixabay.com Friday, July 11, 2025 Waning Moon Pluto & Neptune Retrograde Cloudy, hot, humid Yesterday was just chaos. Between the banking issues and the painters and the door being open and the heat/humidity, it was a lot. The door had to be left open from just before 9 AM – when the painters had to help me get the door open, because it had stuck due to the…

Ick. The fans worked hard, but that doesn’t cut the humidity, and, as I said, I couldn’t leave. I wrote and submitted the review and asked for my next…

Thurs. July 10, 2025: The Good Kind of Blue

image courtesy of Ralph via pixabay.com Thursday, July 10, 2025 Full Moon Pluto and Neptune Retrograde Celtic Tree Month of Holly Humid, sticky, gray Hopefully, the painters are done. They did another coat on the back balcony, and then finished the rails. And did the doors. The doors are blue! I’m so happy. The plants have suffered in the heat. We’ve lost the lavender and the marigolds.…

Wed. July 9, 2025: Tired of Feeling Damp

image courtesy of Enrique via pixabay.com Wednesday, July 9. 2025 Waxing Moon Pluto and Neptune Retrograde Rainy, hot, humid Midweek! The temperature wasn’t too high yesterday, but the humidity was bad. The painters were clumping around, making noise, but not addressing the bits that still need attention. This is now the 11th week of what we were told would be 6 weeks. Most of the day was…

Tues. July 8, 2025: Trying to Stay Cool-ish

image courtesy of  Andi via pixabay.com Tuesday, July 8, 2025 Waxing Moon Pluto and Neptune Retrograde Cloudy and humid Hello! I hope you had a restful weekend filled with defiant joy. I jump in the shower a couple of times a day to hose off. Friday, what was Friday? It seems eons away. Oh, right, it was technically a holiday. It was a lovely, sunny day, not too hot. I spent time out on…

image courtesy of Юлия Зяблова via pixabay.com Monday, July 7, 2025 Waxing Moon Pluto and Neptune Retrograde Sunny and hot The Community Tarot Reading for the Week is up here. I woke up to the lovely news that one of my radio plays will be part of Theatrical Shenanigan’s 6th season early next year, in the UK. I have a lot of creative work to get done this week, so I want to dig in and…

Fri. July 4, 2025: Farce of July

Friday, July 4, 2025 Waxing Moon Pluto & Neptune Retrograde Hazy and pleasant I don’t usually post on holidays, but I’m not feeling particularly festive this year, so. . .besides, if I didn’t post today, Tuesday’s entry would be way too long. Anyway, Neptune goes retrograde today. Neptune is the planet of dreams, illusions, spirituality, and the unconscious. Depending on whom you ask, a…

Thurs. July 3, 2025: Getting Things Sorted

photo by Devon Ellington Thursday, July 3, 2025 Waxing Moon Pluto Retrograde Foggy, humid, rainy You can read about the latest over on Gratitude and Growth. Yes, I’m using the same photo on both posts, because I’m proud of what we set up yesterday out back. No group meditation with Concord Library until autumn. Charlotte will be sad. Yesterday morning, I got some admin done, got the…

Thurs. July 3, 2025: An Enjoyable Space

photo by Devon Ellington Thursday, July 3, 2025 Second Quarter Moon Waxing in Libra Pluto Retrograde Celtic Tree Month of Oak Foggy, humid, rainy Yes, the photo above is our back balcony. You can see the new colors – the “linen” gray and the white trim, instead of the weird salmony color. The painters haven’t finished, and didn’t finish the inside of the rail, it’s still salmon – but we…

Wed. July 2, 2025: Trying to Smooth Out Some Life Wrinkles

image courtesy of Tamanna Rumee via pixabay.com Wednesday, July 2, 2025 Waxing Moon Pluto Retrograde Warm, humid, alternating between sun and rain It’s hard to know where we are in the week, since here in the US we have a long holiday weekend on the Friday. I mean, for people with brains and hearts, it’s more like a day of mourning this year, but it’s still away from the regular routine. I…

The Community Tarot Reading for the Week is here. We’re in a new month, and the second half of the year. The retrogrades are about to start piling on, so buckle up. Friday seems so far away! Early in the morning, I did…

Monday, June 30, 2025: Intent for the Week -- Eye on the Prize

image courtesy of Tung Lam via pixabay.com Monday, June 30, 2025 Waxing Moon Pluto Retrograde Sunny, hot, humid We start the day with another hot, humid one, but the rest of the week should be pretty pleasant. My intent this week is to keep my eye on the prize, although I’m not sure exactly what that prize is. A long weekend? I’ll be working on the textile piece, but maybe that’s it. I…

Fri. June 27, 2025: Another Week in the Books

image courtesy of Gerd Altmann via pixabay.com Friday, June 27, 2025 Waxing Moon Pluto Retrograde Cloudy and cooler The end of another week. I was tempted to skip the online meditation group yesterday, but I didn’t, because it is the last one until September. Every summer, I’m convinced it won’t start up again in fall, especially since each summer break gets longer and longer. But…

Thurs. June 26, 2025: Hoping for a Break in Humidity

image courtesy of Bruno via pixabay.com Thursday, June 26, 2025 Waxing Moon Pluto Retrograde Cloudy and humid You can read the latest about the garden over on Gratitude and Growth. Went a few rounds fighting about my mother’s medical and tax bills. Ran my errands to the library and post office. Managed to polish and submit the poem. I’ve never submitted to this monthly challenge, and the…

Thurs. June 26, 2025: Heat Wave

image courtesy of Ray_Shrewsberry via pixabay.com Thursday, June 26, 2025 First Quarter Waxing Moon in Cancer Pluto Retrograde Celtic Tree Month of Oak Hot and humid We finally broke a 3-day heat wave, although the promised thunderstorms still haven’t materialized, and it’s very humid. The plants survived it pretty well. We closed off the porch during the day, which meant it was very much…

Wed. June 25, 2025: Boiling, Inside and Out

image courtesy of  Three-shots via pixabay.com Wednesday, June 25, 2025 New Moon Pluto Retrograde Hot and humid I was already over the day by 8 AM. Not a good way to start, especially on the “luckiest day of the year.” Can I tell you how tired I am of toxic positivity? There’s a lot of bad stuff going on now, and people have a right to be upset and scared. Saying that will just bring more of…
