FF – I heart Boat On The River
I found an old playlist on my computer the other day, and Boat On The River by Styx was the first song to come up. I was immediately transported back to high school, when not only did I own the album, Cornerstone, but I had the 45 as well (to be honest though, I hardly... Continue Reading →
WW – Full Wolf Moon in Leo
Mercury Retrograde, the planets aligning, and a Full Wolf Moon in Leo? Plus, a Nor'easter bearing down on New England as we speak? It's gonna be a heck of a ride this weekend (GO PATS!). I found this little tidbit about the upcoming full moon, and thought I'd share it here. Be sure to check... Continue Reading →
MM – Tufted Titmouse Troubles
Last week, we got enough icy snow on the ground that I couldn't make it down the hill to my Avian Eatery. As a temporary solution, I shoveled out a spot on the ground near our house, and scattered the birdseed and such around. While this Tufted Titmouse enjoyed the new location, he was not...

Fandom Friday – I heart Buttprints in the Sand
It's been a hell of a week. I swear, it's like George R. R. Martin and Joss Whedon decided to write the script for this first month of the new year (and I sure hope they replace the writers for next season... I mean, month). Rather than focus on all the good people we lost,... Continue Reading →

MM – YouTube Star On The Rise
To be fair, I'm a little bit biased in my declaration that this gorgeous and talented person is a rising YouTube star, given that she's my firstborn. And yes, I've blogged about her channel before. But look - two thousand other people can't be wrong, right? Cailli hit this milestone a couple of days ago,... Continue Reading →
FF – I heart Billy Joel
Back about a thousand years ago, I made the decision to take the plunge, make the commitment, and mail my enrollment form (with the twelve stickers and a penny attached) to the Columbia House Record Club. One of the glorious pieces of vinyl that appeared on my doorstep a short time later was the album,... Continue Reading →

Here are a couple of snippets from two of the websites I refer to when creating my graphics - From Cafe Astrology - With this potent Capricorn energy, we have the chance to create some serious order in our lives....

Microblog Monday – Dreamhost Site of the Month
A strange thing happened to me last week. As I worked on my Witchy Wednesday post, I noticed a steady uptick in my site views. By noon, I was convinced I'd been "attacked" by some new, intelligent spam bots that could mimic human interaction as they clicked through my pages. Around 10pm-ish, I checked my...

FF – I heart New Years
Actually, to be more precise, I love new beginnings. If I had to create a Facebook status for my relationship with New Years, it would be, "It's complicated." I touched upon the reason in an old post, so in the spirit (that permeates this time of year) of leaving the past behind, I won't rehash... Continue Reading →
WW – New Years Magic and Mercury Retro
My last post of the 2014 happened to be a Witchy Wednesday one about our New Years traditions. In a magical bit of symmetry, my last post of 2015 is a Witchy Wednesday about New Years magic, but with a little Mercury Retrograde spin at the end. Bread Magic This year, I'm hoping to combine...
