52 Card Project 2022: Week 42: Vacation
Oct. 21st, 2022 01:15 pmI took the week off of work and have had some fun things planned. Eric and I took a trip to Sioux Falls, South Dakota to visit some dear friends of his. We stayed at Steever House Bed and Breakfast for a couple of days. Very nice place, with friendly hosts and delicious breakfasts. Relaxing there was a great way to start off the week. Eric and I had a pleasant time reading, doing a tarot reading or two, and going out to dinner with Jack and Mary.
I also took a day trip to visit Delia in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where her dog Violet, actually tolerated my presence better than the last time I was there (although she still gives me the occasional stink-eye).
Yesterday, Mom and I drove out to the Arboretum to see the fall displays, including the giant pumpkins.
This card has some of these elements, although I am not quite satisfied with the design. Just seems a little hodge podge/lackluster. I've been struggling with my sleep disorder lately and perhaps my creative edge is a bit blunted.

Upper right: the logo for a restaurant in Sioux Falls (Minerva's). Center left, a white dog (Violet) lies with her head on her paws, eyeing the viewer. Center right: a bronze dragon statue (taken from the cover of R.A. MacAvoy's book Tea With the Black Dragon, which I read aloud to Eric on the trip). Lower left: a giant pumpkin, lying on its side. The sign in front of the dragon statue reads "Seymour, the giant pumpkins. 744.5 lbs at the 2022 giant pumpkin weigh-off." Lower right: the cover and three tarot cards from the Jane Austen tarot deck by Diane Wilkes.
