Moon in Cancer Trine Saturn & the Page of Bat'Leths
Daily Check-In for Wednesday, November 29, 2023
Good morning, friends!
When I woke up this morning it was pretty cold outside, 20°. There was frost on the cars that glittered in the early morning sun like they had been held upside down and dipped in crystalized sugar: a 3D car cookie.
I was tired, sleepy, and very much in need of my coffee, but was still able to appreciate the beauty of the frost.
