I made the fractal on June 14, 2022. The haiku was written by me yesterday, March 10, 2023.

Tomorrow morning at 2:00 AM we “spring forward.” That means, for those who use daylight saving time, it’s that time of year when we change our clocks forward one hour. Then, on November 5th of this year, we “fall back” by setting them back one hour. I really don’t know how I feel about daylight saving time. I could live with or without it. But in the end, I like having as much sunlight as possible.

I made this fractal on February 20, 2023.

Here is a haiku I wrote on March 3, 2023:

sitting on the couch
watching the stormy rains fall
tornado warning

I hope everyone is having an excellent March so far. Today, I was thinking about my piano teacher from when I was younger. She was like a best friend to me. She impacted my life considerably, and she was a role model. She loved animals and treated humans with respect and friendliness. I learned a lot from her about how to be a kind human. I will forever be thankful that she was in my life. I miss her.

I don’t have many of my fractals or artwork for sale yet, but some are available on prints, t-shirts, and other items. There are digital downloads available on my DeviantArt, Etsy, and ArtStation sites as well. For a list of all my websites and where my fractals and art can be found, please see this website: https://linktr.ee/StaceyGuenther I have also added a donations widget to the sidebar of this WordPress blog. Thanks for looking and reading!

WordPress Prompt for February 12, 2023, and a Haiku

You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?

When I get good news, the first thing I do is tell my husband. I also share the news with my mom and sister. Then, if I think other people might be interested, I post the news to Facebook and other social media sites, including blogs.

Here is a haiku I wrote today.

Revival – A Two-Verse Dreamku

July 24, 2022March 7, 2023 ~ Stacey Guenther ~ Leave a comment

i was a wizard
who had a spell-working wand
in last night’s grim dream

i stepped on a toad
and waved my magic baton –
it came back to life

This is based on one of the dreams I had on July 23. In the dream, I was a wizard with a magic wand. I carried the wand on my back. I accidentally stepped on a toad and killed it. When I felt it, I lifted up my shoe to see the dead toad stuck to the bottom of it. I felt terrible and very saddened and sickened by what had happened. I pulled out my magic wand and moved it in circles above the toad while repeating, “Come back to life!” over and over again. The toad returned to life once more. I felt glad.
