This toilet seat is of Roman origin, in a villa rustica excavated near the village of Hummetroth in the Odenwald. Like other Roman villas of the same time this one sported many amenities like a bath house and underfloor heating which must have been the height of luxury in the 2nd century surrounded by barbarians on all side.

I know it is very northern hemisphere centric to always think of our seasons as the dominant ones but when I saw the prompt for the day I immediately thought that I would have to look amongst my spring collection rather than take a new photo. But then I decided to go outside and saw that the the dwarf roses had decided to reward me for my efforts last month with a lot of late buds. It pays to care!

This is my awake (awoke?) week. It seems I have used up all my awaken (awoken) photos this week already: my awake coffee mug, my cat waking me when it is still dark, even a sunrise somewhere. But I know (and the mirror confirms this) that I will never look as awake as this hare, alert, vigilant, sharp, and wired. I need something to awaken my morning bearing.

No, for once not COVID related. This is a photo from 2016. I had planned an outing to these castle grounds and ended up in front of the gate reading “closed” – very frustrating. I’ve never found out why the park wasn’t open. I’ve been back since and could go in.

A painted pebble carrying a message of solidarity. Who knew even a year ago that staying home would be a sign of caring today?
