A little magic for your Saturday.

Within the kiln, where flames rise,
Draconis wakes with molten eyes.
Across its skin, raku fire streams,
A creation forged from potter's dreams.

From earth and flame its power is cast
Ancient breath in clay held fast.

The sad Oompah Loompah.

Happy Willy Wonka Experience Anniversary to all who are celebrating.

Why do you think he was put in the cabinet. It seems the ruling class in America is the Epstein class. Literally the old boys club.

The women’s hockey team declining Trump’s invitation to the White House wasn’t a political statement.

It was a moral stand.

Some men dismiss Trump’s character because they see their own darkness in him.

Women less so, because he represents everything they don’t want to raise in a man.

'Shangri-La'

When the blizzard leans hard against the windows and the world turns white and wild, I think of hidden valleys, quiet skies and a better world.

If we can’t leave, we can imagine. If we’re snowed in, we travel inward and dream.

Paradise isn’t found. We make it.

Stay warm/safe!

A lil #Caturday collage of last week with King Kitty Frederick

Color photograph. A long haired tan and black tabby cat wears a teal colored harness with a bluish leash. There is snow on the ground and she looks intently at the camera as she leans against a wooden shed. You see her super floofy tail on alert in the background.

Saffron: “Take the photo quickly. I must return to my climate-controlled kingdom.”

I've never seen a cat change so much in his first year. This is Milo at 6 months, and the same beast at 9 months.

Minou the rescue cat lounges on her ottoman looking like a Queen!

The only way to deal with bad weather on a #Caturday is to act like you are the Queen of the World!

A tall pink vase with assorted flowers and foliage in it on a small round table against a white background. There are pink, blue and yellow flowers included in the vase along with foliage of reds, yellows, and greens.

It is Friday, bright and sunny! The days are getting longer. Although it is only mid February my thoughts have turned to Spring, the garden and flowers 💐😍.

Here is one of my favourite vases below styled with some Spring flowers and foliage from our garden last year.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

After a long and dark winter, the daylight is on its way back to Scandinavia. Now, the sun's up between 7 AM and 5.30 PM where I live near the Swedish west coast. Love this feeling. 🌞

Shocking that no one wants to come to a country that shoots civilians in the head while being filmed.

Sun filters through the icy forest canopy

Fler skolelever negativt inställda till hbtqi Skolelevers attityd mot minoriteter försämras. Framförallt är inställningen till hbtqi-personer mer negativ än tidigare.

At a time when we allow ignorance to turn into phobia and hatred, then of course the children are not spared from this either. As adults,we have a responsibility to try to thaw frozen souls and spread the message of love. Together we can change and improve

Not only should Andrew be removed from the line of succession, we should have a sort of talent show to add people to the line. Maybe even let the king retire after a few years so the title goes to the next in line periodically. Let people call in to choose their favourite like on Strictly.

Polaris the Bear combines the magic of raku with the feeling of first snow on a starry night: crisp air, soft light, and that moment winter asks you to slow down.

A small reminder to breathe, wander, and let the season settle in, for soon spring will come.
