Monday 16th of June, 2008 Tone 6 - Chuen


Uac tone Six

Representing flow and movement of volume through space, creating time. This is a day of activity and motion. Today there is the possibility for dynamic development and improvement in every aspect of life.

Uac is ruled by Mictlantecuhtli, The Aztec god of death

Chuen or Monkey is the 11th day sign and has a colorful Western energy.

Monkey intertwines new ideas, patterns or inventions into the fabric of reality creating possibilities for life changing products and patterns. (Dr. Calleman) Begin anything new today!

Practical jokes, charm and generousity are the order of the day. One may have the desire to be the center of attention and it is the silly actions that will get you noticed. Artistic expression and curiosity lends itself to constructive solutions. This is a good day to negotiate, charm and express your ideas or goods with buyers or the public. Short attention spans may keep you swinging from one thing or idea to another, try to stay focused!


...and now for something completely different


This morning was magnificent. Big fluffy clouds blew past a warm sunny sky, but never stayed too long!


This little tree is responsible for the sweetest scented air I have had the pleasure of breathing in.


Later in the afternoon we had lunch with our friend Douwe. He is the owner of Jacks very best friend. We had fun.

We had lunch in Zaanstad, this is de Zaan.

Let the games begin!

Euro cup began this week. There is definately a feeling of festivus in the air. Dutchies play monday against italy.
this is my favorite garden in the neighborhood, it is very natural. this is obviously a very small portion.
This lady bud landed on my paper flower window shade. I hope he enjoyed his visit.

Really mean swan daddy

Jack anxiously awaiting the command to cross the street.

We are headed to a near by park. It isn't his favorite but it will do.

Frisbee is the order of the day.

Jack has spotted trouble.

It's a really mean swan daddy. His family is nesting on the otherside of the pond.

We are gracious enough to stay on the opposite side but it doesn't seem to satisfy the really mean swan daddy. He just puffs up and is successful in making jack leave his bath.
Meanwhile back at the ranch rekel is perched on my new quilt. He looks rather comfortable and since he has been brushed thoroughly, I did not see the need disturb him.

Just a pretty tree in bloom in a near by garden.

Spring hopes eternal

On saturday I attended a play by the Wereld kinder Theatre. I painted the symbols on the costumes.

I received these lovely roses for my efforts. They smell wonderful.


This is what is happening in my neighborhood...

... my very tiny garden

...with Jack and the neighbor's dog who just happens to be called Jackie.

Jack was thirsty after his walk in the Amsterdamse bos.

Very thirsty

Untitled

Space is a commodity. I love the idea of doing something with what you've got.
I made a magic candle today. It's a bit off center but the intention was good. It's been a long time since I made one so I am a bit out of practice. This one is for gratitude.
