My Chaotic Realm

I wrote an essay for "WWFHH" not too long ago on what the turning of the Wheel was like here, deep in the heart of Texas. At that time, I had to go back and try to recall the different nuances of the seasons here... mostly, what I recall is HOT. Sigh. So, as we have just celebrated Imbolc, I would like to take a moment to make note of the weather here. Imbolc is the Festival of the Returning Light for me. The DEEP time starts at Samhain and I turn inward as the earth begins to do the same. The Winter Solstice marked the longest night, so the days began to lengthen... but not so much as I would notice it. Imbolc/February is generally the time of what passes for Winter here.

I went to M's for the New Year's Day sale... came away w/lots of stuff from the $1 bargain bins... turned it into these (made 9 cards total). I figure supplies ran about $5 (even tho I did not use all 50 sheets of paper, all 2 rolls of ribbons, all felt coasters, etc) ... and I had fun doing this while tending to ill son... all in all, a great evening spent at home.

Went to the Alamo Drafthouse last night to see the movie Australia... REALLY liked it. Don't know why reviews were so bad... but then again, what do "they" know? Hugh Jackman was just as awesome as always. And it was good to see Bryan Brown again.. I loved him ever since the Thorn Birds with Rachel Ward.
