Just for a bit of silliness and to make a good friend happy, I took a bit of quiz.... shrug, there is just no telling what spirit has to say. :)
I am a A Opal Dragon!
In the war between good and evil, Opal Dragons take the side of the noble and good....
When it comes to the powers of Chaos vs. those of Law and Order, your inner dragon is a risk taker and answers to no one....
As far as magical tendancies, Your inner dragon has the ability to conquer the world of magic, but it will not be easy....
During combat situations, whether by spells or by claw, your inner dragon will do whatever it takes to get the job done....
The Opal Dragon is smaller than most other Dragons but does not allow this
to get in it's way. It's speed in the air, on land, and in water make up
for the Opal Dragon's smaller size. It's scales shine with a soft silvery
glow that flicker with the deep colours of the energetic flashes found
within this Dragon's body. The Opal Dragon is secretive and nocturnal in
nature. Though this dragon is not fond of being seen in it's natural form,
it's curious nature cause it to often shapeshift to look like other Beings
and walk the world seeking wisdom.'
The Opal Dragon will make it's home anywhere but travels often. This has
earned the Opal Dragon it's reputation as a nomadic creature. This Dragon
is quick to defend any who are being treated unjustly, regardless of
species, though it will always attempt a non-violent solution before
resorting to bloodshed. However, if a peacable solution cannot be found
then watch out...the Opal Dragon has earned the title of both the bravest
and fiercest when forced into battle and nothing can stop this dragon from
destroying those who would cross it in this way.'
The Opal Dragon is a contradiction. It loves the presence of others as long
as the presence is sought by the Dragon, itself...if an Opal Dragon does
not seek you out first, it is unlikely you will find one. All in all, this
Dragon is honourable, protective, magickal, and wise...just don't make it
angry or hurt those few this Dragon is close to.

Bread and Butter Pickles.. My first attempt, and not bad..
The garden is being rather abundent in beans, peas and cucumbers, so tis time to make pickles. 6 quarts so far and another 20 or so expected considering the number of blossoms on the vines. I may have to go get another packet of pickling mix. After the Bread and Butter brine is used up, I already have a session of Kosher Dill lined up. I have also discovered it is quite hard to pack a jar full of cuke slices.. spears work much better. Quite a bit of a job, but seeing those lovely jars full of pickles is well worth the efforts.
May your own harvest be bountiful and your life full to bursting with joy to share with everyone around you.

"A Touch of Entropy"
It is not about beauty, it is about spirit. It is not about illusions, it is about the truth of time and life.
It is not about a fantasy, it about the reality of the human spirit, the hard times, the dreams never known.
It is not about a magazine, or a fashion, not about a cosmetic or a lie from the advertisers. It is about the rest of us.
Photographed near Stanley, NC at an old abandoned mill.
