moving on
I'm moving my blog over to WordPress as I haven't been using LJ much at all anymore. I won't be cancelling this journal, and may even check on my friends here, but I'll be posting at http://croneswood.wordpress.com/ if any of you are interested in what I have to type.

an auspicious solstice
Happy Solstice to all those near and far and dear to me. I'm preparing to go outside in about half an hour, start a fire in the chiminea and sit back with a glass of whiskey and watch this rare solstice, total lunar eclipse.

Happily, the flights to and from were uneventful (though I lost half my potions when the security dudes decided to stick the one quart baggie rule on me. ( Read more... ) -
raccoon music

treading miles through gulfs of oil
I have been very dissatisfied with myself of late. Before my back went out, I was fairly active, going to my martial arts school two or three times a week and going to two different styles of yoga twice a week: Ashtanga yoga and a gentle Kripalu yoga. I could walk miles without breaking a sweat and my doctor once told me I had the lung capacity of ( Read more... ) -
of dogs and parrots
Sometimes my animals are just too cute for words.
When the weather is nice, Loki will go out on the deck, choose one of her balls, and then sit there, ball in mouth, waiting for one of us to notice that she'd like to play. She will wait for quite some time, as she has the patience of a saint.

Dragon Shirts!
So, I decided to make up some t-shirts over on Zazzle with the different dragon illustrations. The shirts also have the listing of contributing authors on the back. If you click on the link below the pictures, it will take you right to the shirts in my Zazzle store. Two shirts are shown below, but there are seven in total for the Dragon's Lure ( Read more... )
