Aug 10- Odd Fellow

Strange little guardian

Aug-9 Broken Beauty

Tiny egg found broken and kept safe from further harm.

August 8- Frozen Wings

I was given this dragonfly by Lar,
he is learning to roll with my penchant for collecting detrius.

I love the way the legs are poised as if in prayer,
and the quizzical expression on the face

August 7- Season Shift

A gathering of acorns

I noticed that it sounds different than it did a couple of weeks ago, there is a high insect hum in the mornings, and nights are now full of katydids and crickets whirring and chirping.
Sounds are what tell me when I am in the season.
A shift in tone or tenor will register in my less conscious mind and soon I will begin to see the changes around me.
We have lived here for 13 years now,
plenty of time to get to know the music of the place, the rhythm shifts of the seasons, cycles of sound,
the same song played differently year after year.

August 6-

Feather

Well I give up. The new template was pretty but it had me flummoxed as to how to get comments to show up.
So be it. I will go back to this format where I can answer comments without jumping through hoops.
I will just have to spiff the place up the old fashioned way.
Today Dillon found me this feather on one of our walks. I think it may be an owl feather simply because it is so soft, but it may have belonged to a hawk or turkey.
It reminds me of judes feather project.
I have been limiting the media I am taking in, I have found that I was using other's voices to drown out my own. There are so many sources, websites, news, tv, books, facebook, pintrest, games, and more that aren't coming to mind...
I don't want to cut myself off completely, all of these make good servants but poor masters. (maybe not the games)
I have been encountering aspects of the the idea of disconnecting repeatedly over the last week here, here, and here
All serving to reinforce my impulse, to curate my life a bit more discerningly.

August 5- Fabric Garden

The Bodi's garden has begun to grow again.  Setting roots and reaching for branches

August 4- New flowers

 A blurry photo of the succulent fountain after 4 months, still going strong. I'm deciding weather to leave it outside for the winter or to winter it in the garage...

 I chose a couple of new plants to add to the back border, Achillia and Verbena. I think they will do quite well in the back bed.
