"Blood Moon Eclipse" teableau for 03/14/25

It was too cloudy for me to see the eclipse, so I made my own.

Tea tableau commemorating March 2025 total eclipse. There is a luminous red moon, three marbles signifying Sun, Earth, and Moon, and a backdrop that is a dramatically lit poster of an orca breaching before a full moon with dozens of glowing sea creatures below. A fat round red mug sits upon a coaster tile that matches the poster. A black teapot is beside it on a red and black crocheted mat.The tea is Yunnan Noir black tea from Adagio.

Life is much more than material things, a truism indeed.

But at the same time, we are surrounded by things: things we use, things we have been given, things that remind us of places and people, things that we treasure for all of these reasons.

So let us enjoy these things, using them with pleasure and gratitude.

"Liberate" teableau for 02/22/25

Leopards & grapes are symbols of Dionysus, who for 2600+ years has represented Nature, inspiration, the arts, gathering, joy, mobility, the foreigner, abundance, & curing disease~ which are all being stolen away.

He also represents LIBERATION.

And even resurrection.

"Frondly" teableau for 02/17/25

On Saturday, my elderly neighbor asked for the loan of a vase. I took some options to let him choose. On Sunday, he returned the borrowed vase, with the addition of a bouquet of tulips. He & his wife are just sweet like that.

"Snowbirds" teableau for 02/06/25

We finally got our snow. Yesterday I watched a Bald Eagle cavorting in the snowy sky without any apparent purpose, appearing to be having the time of its life. I hope it was.
