Writer, Witch, crazy cat lady. Not necessarily in that order.
Diana and I are really enjoying Jim C. Hines' new book, Slayers of Old. I especially love pages 24 and 27 (you'll have to read the book to see why it made me smile).

Today's Cranky Crone tarot pull is particularly cranky. Sorry not sorry.

Here in Upstate NY, the fading days of fall have a special, slightly bittersweet, beauty as we brace ourselves for winter. This glorious scene was from yesterday's walk, probably one of the last of the year. Isn't it magical?

The weather is getting colder and my days of taking my walks outside are coming to an end soon. But the view from the treadmill at the gym can't lift my heart the way this does. Sigh.

"3 of Pentacles" from the Whimsy Woods Tarot I'm creating w/ @deborahblakeauthor.bsky.social to be published by Llewellyn in 2027!
I currently have 50 paintings complete! All made with ink, watercolor, + acryla gouache. We loved inserting fairy tales + other favorite stories into some of the cards.

Holiday appropriate cat toys. These little bat mice are their favorites. There was one in my shoe by the bed this morning. (Better that than a real mouse, I assure you.)

A beautiful sunrise through the window before the arrival of some much-needed rain. Everything is muted and gray and quiet. So lovely.

If you’ve ever wanted to read a novel where Baba Yaga falls in love, do I have the author for you. @deborahblakeauthor.bsky.social has a whole Romance series about just that.
