It’s #BannedBookWeek! My current read is The Word for World is Forest by Ursula K Le Guin. The book has been banned & challenged due to graphic description of violence, including rape & slavery. It won the 1973 Hugo Award.

Cover for the book The Word for World is Forest by Ursula K Le Guin. Winner of the Hugo Award. The image is a view from high above the tree tops of a green forest. You can see the curve of the planet and the light blue of the atmosphere fading into the darkness of space. There is a quote at the top of the cover under the authors name.

“Le Guin writes in quiet, straightforward sentences about people who feel they are being torn apart by massive forces in society —technological, political, economic—and who fight courageously to remain whole.” — The New York Times Book Review

I’m no artist, but my kids wanted me to participate in #Inktober so here’s day 1: Apple

An inked sketchbook drawing for day one of Inktober. The prompt was Apple. Line drawing of a wooden sign on a single post, there is spiky grass at the base of the post. The sign says U PICK in all capital letters with three simple line drawn apples below it. The middle Apple has a small leaf attached to the stem.

Picked up this gorgeous handmade pine needle basket from the Heritage Festival today. I’m in love with this woman’s work 💛 It took her 9 hours to make this piece. She uses Ponderosa pine needles for most of her work.

An oval shaped shallow basket handmade from beads and pine needles. The center of the baskets bottom features a beaded sunflower. It’s excellent quality.

Dinner! Tabbouleh with pearl couscous because it’s the best I could find at our store, chicken bites with za’atar, and beetroot hummus with veggies. Oh, and a cube of Parmesan because I couldn’t get a block of feta here.

Not the greatest picture, and it hasn’t been washed or blocked, but here is the finished afghan for my nephew that should have been done in June before life happened 😆

#Tarot Card of the Day is excellent this afternoon! The Hierophant reversed. Toss out the notion of tradition and forge a new path! Question why things are done a certain way, especially if the answer is “this is how it’s always been done.” Find a new path for yourself & your community.

Time spent in deep thought. Contemplating the world. Pausing to get my cocktail of ideas & emotions sorted before I take on a big change in my life as well as a new big project. Yep, that’s exactly what I need right now, a break to recalibrate & that’s exactly what I’ve been doing today. #Tarotsky

The 4 of cups card from the Rider Waite tarot deck. A man sits beneath a tree with arms crossed, possibly in meditation or contemplation. Three cups sit before him that he’s not interacting with. In the air in front of him a hand emerges with a fourth cup appearing to offer it to the man who ignores it as well.

The old man dressed in red, surrounded by orange and gold, sitting on a stone throne in front of a barren mountain range. Card reversed meaning I’m fighting some hierarchy and abusive authoritative power. #Tarot is spot on lately 😆😭 #Tarotsky

2 days in a row I’ve drawn the High Priestess card for my #TarotCOTD. Obviously she has more wisdom to share with me 😆 Yesterday I focused on looking beyond duality in the world. Today, my focus is taking a more detailed look at the messages of Boaz & Jachin. #Tarotsky

The High Priestess card from the Tider Waite tarot deck. The High Priestess sits in front of a veil featuring pomegranates and palm leaves. There are 2 pillars on either side of her. To her right, a black pillar with a B on it, signifying Boaz. To her left a white pillar with a J on it, signifying Jachin.

It may have been about 100F out today, but I still simmered a pot of stock to make my daughter homemade chicken noodle soup before she goes off to college. She made the homemade noodles. We’ll can the unused broth & chicken. There are several lbs of chicken under those veggies

Meditation with my tarot deck to help me gain focus and perspective on my decision to start a mutual aid group. It guided me to yes this is the best path to resist fascism, my initial focus should be on conflict management & deescalation skills as I start to build better community. #Tarotsky

Don’t forget to look up. The world is a scary place, but when we look up we often notice things we hadn’t before. Looking up to locate the bird chirping at me I watched a yellow swallowtail butterfly glide by against the blue backdrop. It made me smile. #witchsky #hope #LookUp

Had a busy day today, but took an hour to spend with the Sandhill cranes tonight. We found a nice quiet spot along the Platte River and admired thousands of cranes flying in to roost for the night. One of my favorite spring traditions.
