Come on, be fair, one time it was a 150lb boulder!

Maybe it doesn't make sense, but I feel like the random pile of rubble and bricks I've got going in the backyard really pulls the whole thing together.

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

Don't pull your pocket knife out in public for everything you normally would.

See this is why I wondered if you were doing whole sets of all the suits or if you were just going to keep picking different objects at random. I'm over here wildly speculating internally about what might make a reappearance as a theme!

Okay good I'm glad I'm marked safe because I have to say Go Pack at least once a year or I lose my cred.

Wait pentacles are diamonds. I love that we can choose to believe whatever we want to because David hasn't corrected either of us yet 😎

I think the colorful suits have to be the red cards. That's my reasoning. And I will have to choose a red button to stick with that theme

HallowJene @luckymud.myatproto.social · 19h

And then buttons are pentacles which means that I have chosen the absolute perfect for me number of buttons to commission. And I will have to hang it upside down.

The suits are flies, pills, cicadas & buttons. Hearts, spades, diamonds & clubs have had their day.

"6 of flies", ink, watercolour, oil on watercolour paper, 5 1/4 x 7 1/4", 2025 - $150(Cdn). A small painting of 6 dead house flies arranged in 2 columns and 3 rows of 2.

"5 of pills", oil on watercolour paper, 5 /14 x 7 1/4", 2025 (private collection). A small painting of 5 pills in the formation of a "5" playing card - 4 in the corners, one in the center. There's a red & white capsule, a pink oval, yellow & blue tablets, and a white oval.

"3 of cicadas", oil on watercolour paper, 5 /14 x 7 1/4", 2025- $150 (Cdn). A small painting of 3 molted cicada shells in a column down the center of the page.

"8 of buttons", oil on watercolour paper, 5/14 x 7 1/4", 2025- $125(Cdn). A small painting of 8 shirt buttons in a variety of shapes and sizes, laid out like the suit on a playing card.

I wonder which of these correspond with which, amor what the tarot correspondences would be. Feels like the flies almost have to be the spades in this situation. Appropriate for the seven of swords, for sure.

He's getting braver about sleeping up in there when the dogs are in the living room. There's a heating vent right at the bottom of this cat tree, so it will be nice and toasty when winter hits. Last winter, the situation was still too new and hectic for him to want to use it much.

Now with extra wrinkles!

A photo of a black and white Sphinx tuxedo cat standing on a green and sisal floor-to-ceiling cat tree. It is positioned in front of a multicolored mural of circus girls, and he is sitting kind of hunched up on one of the little shelf steps. Steps. All of his extra skin has pooled around his forearms, back legs, neck, and belly. His little fuzzy rat tail is extended off of the platform with a little curl at the tip. The side of his face that is facing the camera has half of a white squash buckling handlebar mustache

He says he loves you back and you should tell us to give him pizza

I don't know, I think of that as very good luck! Probably had a message for you. Random cats don't just walk up to people unless they really want to.

This goblin cat just winked at me

A photo of a black and white tuxedo Sphinx cat standing on a tall green fuzzy cat tree, with a colorful mural of circus ladies behind him. You can see my hand and wrist coming in from the bottom left of the frame to give him little pets on the side of his face and neck

One frame later, same angle. Same situation except the kitty is winking his right eye at the camera and it is only open a sliver in this shot

I totally forgot until now, but I found a puffball mushroom growing in our front yard last week and I just went out to check it and the spores had been dispersed, so I'm really hoping to see more next year!

Anyway I think I just figured out his big birthday present this year, glad he found that kit and reminded me!

My kid is borrowing my badge a minit hand press and I hope it works for him! My hand strength sucks so much that I was never really able to use it. He really wants the small size, I have always really wanted the really small size, but the big size is what we have so he's trying it!
