Washing

I had to wash my traveling machine today. That was almost a painful process because, boy, has it collected some gunk on it in the latest travels. I think there were fairies involved and I’m pretty sure they magicked some of the gunk to stay on no matter how much it was scrubbed. But after … Continue reading Washing

Wizards harvest festival today

Harvest festival today. A magical harvest festival. I was out with my books today, sharing my stories with the village. Lots of wizards and mysterious creatures, heroes and ghosts, sights and spectacles. Magic and imagination abound. Meanwhile, there was an eclipse. Nothing like being out with a bunch of wizards celebrating the yearly harvest in … Continue reading Wizards harvest festival today

Rabbit hole

Once again, I went down a rabbit hole. There is nothing like landing flat on your face and having to figure out the world you are surrounded by. Worse, this was a world where the rules were every changing, so something you couldn’t do before is now allowed and vice versa all depending upon the … Continue reading Rabbit hole

The werecats

The werecats were trying to cuddle this morning. With the nights getting colder, the werecats have sought me out. They walk across me, trying to get me to wake up. They settle down on my raised hip or stomach or legs, where ever they can get. One wants to cuddle against my neck. If they … Continue reading The werecats

Wind gods and tree spirits

Wind gods upset tree spirits today, and they took turns swiping and sending pot shots at each other. First, the winds would blow. The trees, their leaves just starting to yellow, would shake those leaves trying to appease the winds. But the winds cast down slanting rain at the trees as if the pattering could … Continue reading Wind gods and tree spirits

Scraping teeth

Fun (I think) in another village today. I was grabbed by a sweet female gnome who demanded to scrape at my teeth. Who in their right mind would do this? I was a little taken aback, but I allowed. I wasn’t a gifted horse, after all, so why not allow her a look at my … Continue reading Scraping teeth

A wet ride home

The day started off grey and with an ominous feeling. I knew I wasn’t going to make it back from the village without some weather in the way. As we (Merlin and I) started off in the coach taking us out of the village, I watched rain storm after rain storm all around us. I … Continue reading A wet ride home

A bubble

Short blog tonight. It’s been a long day. My wish for everyone today is that we would all remember that we are one world. We all inhabit this fragile little bubble. If we want to keep inhabiting it, we need to play nicely together. Humans don’t need to prove they are still animals. One would … Continue reading A bubble

It takes a village

Nothing quite like an adventure. Today, I helped paint a village. Or it seemed like a whole village. More painting tomorrow. Also polished some of the old wood and cleaned windows. It’s a good thing they were small houses, but there sure was a lot of them. Kept me busy from morning to night. The … Continue reading It takes a village

Let it be

Last night, I liked the piece I was painting. Today, it’s just “meh.” (Not the painting pictured above, just to be clear.) I’m asking myself why it is that my feelings have changed. What did it do? Nothing about the painting changed. Only the way that I looked at it. It’s not even finished yet … Continue reading Let it be
