He is a seriously large cat. Each of those crocheted squares is seven inches across. #lifewithcats

Card of the Day ~ The Star ~ “To dream is to have a chest filled with stars, a mind captivated by possibilities and a heart enveloped in imagination.” ~ Anastasia Bolinder #tarot #cardoftheday #retrospectivetarot

When we first moved into this house, almost twenty years ago, we would get field mice and voles sneaking in from the cold. Our two cats at the time were great mousers and I would come across a rodent carcass before I even knew we had a mouse in the house. This is one of the many catnip mice that Herb loves to play with. They are all over the house. At six in the morning this looks very much like a dead field mouse and it wakes me right up when I come across him. #whoneedscoffee #lifewithcats

Card of the Day ~ Eight of Swords ~ “She felt trapped, but she didn’t have to. The world is wide open and ready, waiting for us to escape this bubble and join it.” ~ C. M. Stunich #tarot #cardoftheday #retrospectivetarot

Card of the Day ~ Three of Wands ~ “Love adventurous life. Be passionately curious about exploring new adventures.” ~ Lailah Gifty Akita #tarot #cardoftheday #retrospectivetarot

Herb wouldn’t move this morning when I wanted to photograph my card of the day. So, I put the card on his back and for the first time ever he attacked the card. I don’t know how he knew it was there. The card weighs almost nothing. In his defense it was The Tower and lots of people hate that card. The difference is most people don’t grab it and bite it when it shows up. #catproblems #stuffonmycat #retrospectivetarot

Card of the Day ~ King of Pentacles ~ “Successes are like milestones while excellence is a neverending journey.” ~ Majid Kazmi #tarot #cardoftheday #retrospectivetarot

The Game of Thrones Tarot came in the mail last night. It’s lovely. The box is sturdy. The LWB is actually a little hardcover book. The choices made for assigning characters to cards is spot on in many cases. As a collectible I like it. The cards have a texture to them that I don’t like. When I riffle and shuffle the cards I can feel them rubbing against each other and it reminds me of walking while wearing corduroys. The card stock itself is thin and feels like it won’t survive a lot of use. In fact one card back peeled a slight bit at the edge after one shuffle. I have no issue with a well worn deck of cards but that look should be earned from years of use not happen right out of the box. I intend to use these for the next moon cycle for the card of the day. We will see how they hold up. Updated to add this is a full deck of 78 cards.

Card of the Day ~ Five of Cups ~ “If only. Those must be the two saddest words in the world.” ~ Mercedes Lackey #tarot #cardoftheday #retrospectivetarot

Card of the Day ~ Temperance ~ “Life is not found in atoms or molecules or genes as such, but in organization; not in symbiosis but in synthesis.” ~ Edwin Grant Conklin #tarot #cardoftheday #restrospectiverarot

Card of the Day ~ Five of Wands ~ “Every challenge you face today makes you stronger tomorrow. The challenge of life is intended to make you better, not bitter.” ~ Roy T. Bennett #tarot #cardoftheday #retrospectivetarot

Corned beef and cabbage O’Brien style. Smashed red potatoes, roasted cabbage, and corned beef cooked in the instant pot. So tasty! #stpatricksday #delicious #instantpot

Card of the Day ~ Ten of Cups ~ “Pursue not the outer entanglements; Dwell not in the inner void; Be serene in the oneness of things; And dualism vanishes by itself.” ~ Sengcan #tarot #cardoftheday #retrospectivetarot
