@lovendures I love your avatar! Filled with love and joy, just like you.
@jeanne-mayell I can't recall when I've seen such rich, pure light in a painting. I know how difficult that is to achieve, even in a photograph. If you find your way back to the canvas, it would certainly benefit the lives of many. This work is directly beautiful, communicating love.
@lovendures is right, that's a very tromp l'oeil painting. I actually did think it was a photo before I read your post. Lovendures, I am also glad to be able to match your energy with a colorful avatar. (Are those suppose to be butterflies?)
They do look a lot like butterflies don't they?
Actually, they are hearts.
This is a portion of street art in Venice, Ca on a wall of a building. It is huge and has blue and purple hearts also, this is simply what I could fit in for the avatar.
Your avatar is wonderful and visually speaks your name Coyote. I when I tried to figure out what I could use for an avatar, I also thought perhaps something that visually spoke my name. I think this one does a pretty fair job.
@febbby23 I have not known deer to like milkweed. It needs full sun though. The more that is planted, the more likely the monarch will survive. Monsanto (Round-up) and other pesticide companies have helped to reduce the monarchs to near endangerment. Haven't seen more than a few in my area in the last five years. I used to see dozens of them.
Add mine to the chorus of approving voices. Wow.
@jeanne-mayell I'm going to try. I've had all sorts of little and big animals eat everything before. I'm used to the disappointment. :)
@febbby23 @polarberery There is an active group of women in my town who buy hundreds of milkweed plugs (tiny sprouts) and sell them at a big discount to anyone willing to plant them. One woman puts them out on her porch for people to pick up. I buy them and plant them in fields and at my community garden where there is full sun. I have this one little sunny spot in my yard, so I planted them there, and bam, I got one monarch last summer and two this summer. It's a paltry number compared to the old days, but it's growing. And species have been known to come back from near extinction.
I also think I'm going to plant butterfly weed (budlea) and see what happens.
Although milkweed is the only plant that monarchs can lay their eggs on.
Your avatar is wonderful and visually speaks your name Coyote.
Why thank you. Fun fact: when I joined the forum in 2019 I debated between registering under the name Coyote (my spirit animal) or Cedar/BrotherCedar (eastern red cedar is my spirit tree). My third eye led me to Coyote.
Hi Everyone!
Jeanne recently posted a terrific interview she did not long ago on intuition. If you haven't heard it yet, you should. She is delightful to listen to and I was reminded once again about what a wonderful teacher we have in our midst. I feel so fortunate to have taken various classes from her over the past few years and can't wait for her next series. Hopefully it will be soon.
The interview can be found on the right hand side on the forum and I believe on the main prediction page.
Thanks for posting it Jeanne. I really loved listening to it.
@coyote When I think of you, I think Coyote. Adaptable, wise, wiley, a survivor. He finds a path through any situation. And God knows, you have been challenged.
When @Lovendures first arrived to this forum, she said she picked the name because it would remind her to live up to a standard of love first. Always love. I never forgot that and I have witnessed how she has lived up to that principle of love first. So grateful to have both of you still here. You guide us, keep us stretching higher. I know you are exploring your way too. We are all cutting a path through this wilderness together.
Ah thanks Jeanne. I am equally grateful to be here and a part of this wonderful family. I love being a member of this tribe.
PSA Everyone. It’s time to clean behind your entertainment centers.
@dannyboy That looks, um, challenging. I hadn’t thought of cleaning up cords because we’ve been too busy breaking our big flat screen tv during a remodeling project. First there was just a two inch vertical break on the right side of the tv, but it still worked. Even though the break showed up as bright white light on the side of the screen, I thought maybe, just maybe, we could just live with it. Then as we watched, the screen started breaking into horizontal white lines cracking across the width of the tv. It was like watching a slow motion train wreck.
P.S. Zip ties work well with the spaghetti cord situation.
@bluebelle I had the afternoon off because of night classes this week and scheduled the Septic guy to come so it was a full afternoon. We have a new entertainment center coming via UPS any second now.
I did tape all the cords and label them when they came off of equipment and once unscrambled this entire mess was cut in half with cords that weren’t connected to anything anymore. It’s still going to be bad when it’s all back together but not as bad as it was.
But while I wait for the UPS guy to come my living room looks like I interrupted a robbery in progress. ?
Since I know you’re all emotionally invested in my project now we’re done :-)
And yes that’s a Nintendo Wii - she still works when I want to relive my virtual bowling glory days or remind myself why Zelda Skyward Sword is a terrible game ?
Dannyboy, I know this is not the thread where we were discussing Deja Vu. I also know this isn't the thread on predictions.
However, the masks on your wall, well, they look an awful lot like the wooden carved masks I saw for October in the most recent RTFN. Go figure!
Your wires...are you sure you are not building a timed exploding device? haha. I have no idea what wired mess awaits us from behind our t.v.
@bluebelle you seriously made me laugh out loud.

If you foresaw my afternoon project I’m terribly sorry about the boredom that must have set in. Unless it was anxiety about the mess that set in. ?
my wife collects the masks. And the first thing she said when she walked in and saw the new center was “now I have room for more!”
