We got home before the storm really hit. Grace decided to dart out the door right after we got in and go for an adventure (I don't think @benberryf has ever seen me run that fast before). We got everyone back inside and settled in the living room with about 10 minutes to spare before the weather really hit. Grace is terrified of loud noises, so she took up her usual position — wedged between B or I and th back of the chair. She's panting and anxiety-farting, and Dami joined the party to stare at the wall. The boys are just chilling by the air conditioner, completely unconcerned. . . . #anxietybabies #cuddlepuddle #momtotherescue #justwaitingoutthestorm #smalltimeadventures #Grace #dog #dogsofinstagram #Damiana #cat #catsofinstagram #rescue #rescuedogsofinstagram #rescuecatsofinstagram #rescuedismyfavouritebreed https://www.instagram.com/p/BmhYsnrAiip/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vrx66q07pdkm

County Fair week working at a small-town newspaper is a marathon of work, but some assignments aren't too bad. I got to photograph the Horse Pull competition event. These gentle giants were awe-inspiring. They were genuinely excited about their work, dancing in place while waiting to be hooked to the sled (and at times even taking off before they were secure). Two-horse teams were, at the end of the heavyweight class, pulling 10,650 lbs. It was amazing. 🐴 🐎 . #meadecounty #meadecountyfair #meadecountyfair2018 #countyfair #drafthorses #horsepull #horsepower (at Meade County Fairgrounds)

Cernunnos

Most of the posts I see on tumblr show Cernunnos as basically a Celtic version of Pan but from what I’ve read he’s completely different. To me, Pan is more of a typical satyr, young, and has a lot to do with fertility and sex. Cernunnos on the other hand is more like the Faun from Pan’s Labyrinth, much less human-looking, if he looks human he would take the form of an old man, not a young one, and not chiefly associated with fertility. 

Cernunnos sits between worlds. He is the god of spirit work, new beginnings, and liminal spaces. Of course he is also associated with the stag, the forest, and hunting. I believe he is a sort of guide between this world and the spirit world.

Possible Offerings:

Coins, gold

Pine cones pine needles, acorns, stones, other forest-related objects

animal bones and pelts

Images of snakes, deer, and cattle

Mirrors, divination-related items

Grain, wheat, oats

Bread, potatoes, other root vegetables

Wine??? Ale??? (I haven’t read anything saying he WOULDN’T like alcohol so I’m thinking it’s okay)

Your thoughts on this are always welcome :)

Today is Women’s Equality Day, when we commemorate the 96th anniversary of the certification of the 19th amendment! 

Women’s suffrage has been a focus of our collections since our inception. One of our founders, Louise Noun, documented the women’s suffrage movement in Iowa from 1872 - 1920. You can read her book on the Iowa Digital Library, and learn more about women’s suffrage in Iowa by reading Iowa’s Suffrage Scrapbook.

No matter how you celebrate, have a fantastic Women’s Equality Day everyone!

Talking about boys.
