We're home

We're home, and I off to the PO.  Breakfast was fresh raspberry on Cherios.

I should mention we got in late yesterday, and that when we arrived...
there was a day lily explosion in progress. Seven....  7 -- SEVEN -- nice bright flowers, all within about 5 square feet.

What a fine welcome home that was, and the cats were in the windows, as well, and had no signs of the ignoring the returnees that we';ve had from other cat-bunches.

Just one raspberry on your Cherios? I hadn't realized the economy was that bad. At least it was fresh.

It looks like I'll have a few more day-lily blooms but they are almost past their peak. However, the phlox are starting to bloom: huge vibrant masses of flowers in a flourescent magenta that would be offensive in most contexts.

Welcome back :)

[livejournal.com profile] elsmi and I were just discussing Lute and Moonhawk and wonder if you could clear something up -- are they always a male/female pair with the Lute being male and the Moonhawk being female? (This was an extension of discussing how/why lifemates are always straight couples...)

Lute *is* male and Moonhawk *is* female; when they are expressed as humans they express explicitly as male and female, yes. Consider pagan and neo-pagan traditions of male energy and female energy as the source.

Interesting. In our world it is possible, if not always theologically accepted among all pagans, for women to express male energy and men to express female energy, or to connect with totems (for lack of a better word) that are typically of the opposite gender.

(For anyone who's just reading along, *SPOILER*)

Lute and Moonhawk would be different from that though, yes? They only express as one person every generation, Moonhawk can be kept from Priscilla, and in general they seem more individuated, even in the "current-timeline", Does that play into their only ever expressing as the same biological gender that they "were"? (Not sure that exactly makes sense in a human way for original Dramliz...)
