Yesterday I wrote a long post about my day yesterday. But did I manage to share it? Nope. At least the email subscribers got to see it. I shared this evening. Better late than never.

I also was tardy with my own health. Thanks to the internet outage last week I wasn’t able to go to my nurse practitioner to get my thyroid medication prescription refilled. Today it was very obvious that my body wants its pig hormones (I use natural hormones for all my faulty bodily functions). TMI. Anyway, I have a sore “throat,” which is really sore glands. Let’s hope I can get to the pharmacy tomorrow, which may be hard given my schedule.

That’s enough whining. I will end this short blog with three different species of Ruellia that I’ve seen in the past three days. It’s been a good year for these “Mexican Petunias” around here this year, but I only have one kind here at the Hermits’ Rest. These are so pretty, but they get around—the flowers shoot seeds for quite some distance. I’ve witnessed it at my old house, where I actually planted some. I feel sorta bad for the people who bought the house.




Tarot card of the day
Today was a welcome return of the 9 of Pentacles. It’s funny, because I told the nurse practitioner how content and grounded I am right now. I’m so much better at observing the negativity without absorbing it these days.

Lovely! I’m trying to do better with my own self-care, and getting out in nature. Texas is so different from Virginia, where I live now, Illinois, where I grew up, and Wisconsin, where I lived in between. I love seeing the photos you share. You’re also reminding me that I should dust off some Tarot cards because I haven’t enjoyed those in a long time.

Good idea, Liana. I missed drawing a card today and I wasn’t happy! And yeah, Texas is different. And it differs from region to region. I truly love every part of the US where I’ve lived or visited, each in its own way. I do miss Illinois springs.
