This is how I feel when Storm arrives home from one of his journeys.
*In real Human life - he would be much taller - but I chose to make it cuter. I am equally as happy to see him go on theses journeys.. Life is for exploring. With Love g Every day I start with a card! I think of them in bed at night & can't wait to wake & paint. I have come to the realization - I can be pretty f*cking funny sometimes... I must be if I can make myself laugh. My cards are for an "older, wiser, educated" audience I feel.. The card above is based on true events and makes me giggle just to look at it. Actually I'm photocopying this and sending it to my best female friend - but the original recipient won't get it. I'm too shy to send them in some cases. lol Just drawing them was a joy in itself! In the drawer it will go! I have several now.. I've also come up with some really funny & creative cannabis cards & stickers (so far) I'm not sharing until cards are printed. I desire a need to continue traveling. More inspiration needed, wait until you see my California Sticker. ;) Last week I prayed for paint- acrylic- I was specific.. a day later Storm came home and gave me $$$ from a friend who I painted a gift for! He insisted. How sweet. I was shocked and thankful and went to buy paint $$$! The next few days will be spent in the painting room. Ask and you shall receive. God knows the intentions in my heart.. and in my cards. Patience Georgia. They will be shared when the time is right. I feel it! ALL based on true tales... My Birthday cards are cracking me up! When intended for someone specific the is the trick- How do I generalize them? It's nice them being inspired by 'someone' - more love goes into each card this way. The Boss has directed me to CONTINUE filling them with love - even if no one ever see's them. It's all that matters. With Love G Time to PAINT!!! I only have about 20 not sent.. lol Just so you know - there are people out there I care enough to draw for! YOU are Loved! Grow it Forward!
This time next year gardens will have an added bonus of Cannabis! 6 plants! Across Canada anyhow & many will grow it just to see what the hype is all about - soon more & more will understand - there was no HYPE- No reefer madness justification anyhow.. and more will understand how wrong it has been to imprison a person over a plant! How wrong to judge each other over plants which help us feel better.. a natural instinct & human right. Hallelujah!!! Grow Canada in Mind & body! I've encouraged people in the past when growing a veggie garden - plant something extra for a neighbour.. well - plant one of the 6 with a friend in mind. Someone suffering from pain who might currently be on addictive & deadly already existing pharmaceuticals and is not physically permitted for one reason or another..perhaps they live in an apartment or are physically unable. I think if permitted you should introduce people to cannabis, don't forget the full education and never start with edibles if you can help it - unless mild. I don't push- I don't have to, occasionally people ask me about it, I direct them to here and sometimes chat. I'm kinda tired of chatting about it. I've done my research. I've let people try and very early - I'll have someone day i don't feel anything.. 'riiiggghhht..' I think to myself but they also drink alcohol in most cases at the same time which I NEVER recommend - you can lead a human to knowledge but you can not make him think. Grow it forward. Plant the seed of cannaabis education you might be easing someones pain and suffering or might just make new bud. I enjoyed painting this piece and playing with Daisy in the garden. She loves water that girl! This actually happened and I felt such joy to be blessed with CLEAN, safe water out of a hose! Blessed with the love of a beast who wants to share my company and a beautiful sunny day in the garden - wild garden I might add- therefor I have many birds and bees & butterflies.. I hope my neighbours appreciate it. ;) I hope to encourage gardens everywhere a little wilder next year! By the grace of God & help from Justin. My California backyard was different, WARM, sunny but my Canadian backyard is awesome - TREES - which provide shade, bees' birds. MANY - it can sound like a tropical jungle some days- what an opportunity for an education! I rarely heard anything but crows in California. Did you know most kids NOW- will never hear a real loon when my age. They are predicted to be extinct. GROW - the minds of young ones is our most important task. This work was inspired by something i found but can't find anymore. sorry. Of course I changed it quite a bit but I think I still need to add more butterflies! What do you think? Can w ever have enough butterflies? With Love G Sittin' in the mornin' sun I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come Watching the ships roll in And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooo, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time I left my home in Georgia Headed for the 'Frisco bay Cause I've had nothing to live for And look like nothin's gonna come my way So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Ooo, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time Look like nothing's gonna change Everything still remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do So I guess I'll remain the same, yes Sittin' here resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone It's two thousand miles I roamed Just to make this dock my home Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time Otis Redding With Love G "For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others" - Nelson Mandela - I want to be clear on a topic that's on my mind. Do you know how many women are sexually abused? In Canada & the USA? I've been researching for some editorial cartoons because it is a topic I'm a passionate about.. other women. Once you start to research & read about it seriously as a woman, IF you don't get a little nervous - you're not reading enough. Add the mentality of people/men like Trump .. 'Pussy grabbing president' is it any wonder abuse towards women is on the rise? I think women are beautiful - I stare at nude women to draw them like LIFE drawing classes - this is next best, to achieve proper portions & shape - nudes are the perfect I stare at nude men also but usually male models online wear a speedos (lol I'd rather nothing), not that it matters - you seen one you seen em all. ;) I often see semi nude photos on Instagram- and many can be classy- getting the point across - yet others - I gasp- 'what the heck are you thinking? An attractive woman - suddenly posts a photo of herself with her crotch facing the camera, no skill, no art, no professional backdrop - just a cheap shot, calling attention to between her legs & not much more. I think 'She's old enough to know better'. Is there an age for common sense? I Keep looking & soon you notice its a trend & with younger & younger. Older women- is this what we teach our younger sisters? Daughters? Granddaughters? Where does this lead? You tell me. Will she be an internet sensation- perhaps, become famous and make millions? Probably not. More likely she will become a statistic:
Women should never be ashamed of their bodies but this is not going in a good direction for women in general. It is heart breaking when you research these topics- to post yourself so freely, perhaps You might understand the ramifications - are you thinking long term- are you wondering who is seeing your account, following? Male & female? Friend or Stranger. Many rapists are known by their victims. I could care less if you're an older woman who apparently knows better - YOU are planting the seed for younger women. Will you be held accountable if she is raped - she looked up to you? No & chances are neither will her rapist- Courts will say "dismiss the charges -she was posting her shots of her breasts & vagina all over Instagram!" Lawyers will profess with much greater skill than many of the photographs that taken. It's facts, statistics, world events. READ. Research. Why should I care... Not my monkeys, not my circus. Knowing I had the power and did not, chose not - is a waste of my gift & ability to share it as well... All who have the power of the internet at their fingertips should use it for some good occasionally. Boobs & bongs- Please. No one has to lecture me on 'recreations or medicinal', I am the first person who will say many people who think they are recreational are using it to self MEDICATE, perhaps PTSD in early childhood.. we all have stories. For medical purposes -when I see a 'medical dispensaries' page with naked women on it - I instantly pass. Sex sells - what? Am I looking of sex or quality medicine & if sex is what companies HAVE to resort to - the product can't be all that great or it would speak for itself. Are you purchasing cannabis or a mental image of a woman? It's your $$$. 'You who do not have children' & who use cannabis 'recreationally' DO NOT understand the battle it has been. Due to the stigma- boobs and bongs all over the internet, for decades 'cannabis porn'- that is what it is- is a nightmare for patients seeking serious medical assistance with cannabis, try & tell a family member - 'yes this is the medicine my 14 year old son is on.' Or Dr.s for that matter.... because they can't believe it could be medicine when they see nothing but porn associated with it. There are many legitimate patients who NEED cannabis to function- I am one of them... IT is our medicine and I don't want/need it associated with a vagina thanks. It is un professional & all ABOUT sex and nothing else- don't be fooled & it's always women on these sites - you don't see men with bongs in their crotch. Who do you think is making the most money? The women? Phhhhbt. Women who are raped every minute- some left behind dumpsters, some watch their rapist walk FREE like Mr. Cosby... that is the price women pay. What message are you sending out? If a woman is raped it is NEVER her fault- it is a man out of control - it might start with a stalker who has been watching these images and thinking they are for them- heck I have people who THINK my blog is about them- phhhhhbt.. shallow vanity. There are many children seriously ill who could benefit from cannabis - they don't need the negative stigma attached and every time you post a shot you are encouraging the stigma - most PEOPLE still believe . This is what bothers me most.. and then these women post/comment that others are judging or body shaming - because we do NOT want to encourage violence towards women. Call it what ever you want- for the record- for any attempting to say all who protest soft cannabis porn are body shaming or judging - are judging. WE ALL judge. Show me someone who thinks they don't. I think women are beautiful & powerful should be proud, dress how they want, walk proud as daughter of God walk like they are stardust! WE ARE - EVERYONE OF US!!! Part of the UNIVERSE! One that deserves as much love and respect as the other half of society. Head held high & save that CROTCH for a very special guy (or girl). Abuse, sex trafficking, rape, stalking of women is on the increase as well as 'sext shaming' and its' getting younger and younger... online predators are at an all time high. Wonder why? Ask yourself - what are you posting? WHAT message are you sharing with the universe? Do you have a daughter? Granddaughter? Would you want them posting photos like this? Not me-, I'd much rather a young woman post her talents, use her brains or imagination or creativity.. It will probably in the long run get her much further & safer. With Love G After staying with someone 3 weeks...
I was wondering if my friend misses us. How could you not? Poppy & I are anything but boring. :) I had the idea for this card and it made me laugh out loud. With Love G . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Playing with paint.
I painted this for a friend, she liked it. It was exciting to paint, I experimented quite a bit with water & blending. Each piece helps me become a better artist. One day at a time. He has that "I'm paying attention... " but I see it for what it is kinda look. With Love g Pop Rocks! I called her 'Poppo' on vacation. Poppy is the cutest, behaved little dog proving me with a service of LOVE & Protection in 7lbs of fierce! She will take your finger (tip) off if you don't watch out! lol She actually is not aggressive at all- unless she feels she needs to protect me. She keeps me from taking harmful chemicals. Fact. I will fight for Poppy like she fights for me, make no mistakes. Keeping me natural like my medicine. Thank God. I know some can't understand what Poppy does- it's not for you to understand. She brings me peace... and our trip to California - she proved what a little rockstar she is! Every Flight- she walked ahead on the plane with me towing my bag behind - Hooked to my belt so I am 'hands free'. EVERYone looked at her in amazement with many Awwwwwssssssss and giggles - I'd say "here it is" (meaning our seat ) and she jumped up! Then I'd buckle up and she lay on my lap - I'd cover her with her blanket and that was that, she never made a peep! Every time! 3 flights - hee hee - I'm going to put flight pins on her vest & EVERY single time I had flight attendants remark- "I forgot she was on the flight" & "she is by far the best service dog we've had!" California was awesome! Poppy went to the movies & had many patio meals and went to the Getty!! I only had a couple of incidents with humans.. one customer in a 'subway' gave me such a dirty look and shook his head at 'us.. he did it to me 3 times! I was in line behind him holding Poppy, I lost my appetite. I said I wasn't hungry and would wait outside... when the gentleman emerged I look at him straight in the eye and calmly asked: "Do you feel better passing judgement on me and you don't know anything about me?" He stopped (caught off guard) "I wasn't judging you... I was frustrated at.. the woman behind the counter" "Bullshit" was my reply. He calked his head back and says "well o.k., but.. come on & I love dogs but really? " He reached out to Poppy but she turned her head & ignored him (awesome) "YOU judged me and you know nothing about me." Who was he to look at me and shake his head in disgust... I was NOT harming anyone. Poppy was Not harming anyone. I was holding her.. she is cleaner than most construction workers in there for lunch. He looked at me and said "I did." I looked at him and said "enjoy your lunch.." He walked away. Food for belly & mind - I hope. God was with me. I knew what to say, calmly. What is with people - Holy! Are there not more serious things to focus on right now- like TRUMP?? I get it if a dog is misbehaving but I feel like we are constantly paying for it. If you see me having an attack, you get it. They are quick but fierce and I clutch her.. Some times she looks at me and jumps off my lap then stretches to be picked up again- "FOCUS on me" her eyes speak. She knows. It's not pleasant for others to see - trust me when I say it's much more unpleasant for me to experience so please.. get over it. Poppy LOVED California! I loved California! Truly & the people in general MORE.. not just my friends. As Canadians I hope we send them our prayers/good vibes daily, too many are suffering right now and are living in fear and unstably. All & all - California was friendly & very understanding of Poppy & I when we ventured out as a team & I am truly grateful for having had her with me for countless reasons. Please Don't judge people with service animals- if the dog behaves badly - YES, address it. Please don't just assume we are all the "fakers". Do you really think I enjoy taking a dog with me everywhere? I don't. I LOVE her but it gets tiring... thankfully, when I am with someone I am comfortable with I can leave her - someone who understands and just rides it out with me for a few seconds. Next museum- in France (dream big baby!) no Poppy! Well... she does like Vincent van Gogh!! Poppy Loved California & my friend too - which was terrific - it made my visit more comfortable. I'm sure he is missing her. It inspired a funny card which gave me good giggle to paint! I'll share it another day. More On Poppys adventure with the customs officers soon but these are some of her favourite photos of California. With Love g I found this artwork by an American (I could not find the original link or artists name) and instantly thought it would make a lovely tribute piece with a cannabis twist. The original is
for planting a vegetable garden -as seen below... imagine if every American who still had a garden planted a vegetable garden! & Canadian! I was thinking about the poster as I painted "Every Garden a Munition Plant", planting gardens was turned into Munition - war. The hat- I'm not sure aboot (not a type O" I'm told Canadians say 'Aboot." hee hee. I loved all else about her- her glance, dress and attitude. Doing what needs to be done for her country & family! American women are strong! They are protective moms like every other mom on the planet. If only Americans would take the same stance with cannabis- everyone grow your own, If we can't get people to grow their own food- they won't grow their own medicine. Luckily there will be many choices for them in the future.. Near future - I don't think so- unless you are medical patient- you'll still struggle. I predict from all I was reading at least another 7 years of this mass media- reefer lingering madness, where people will still be persecuted for a plant in the USA. Canada - it's over. I can feel it. Thank GOD! Thank You Justin Trudeau & Family . I overheard a woman telling another today- 'her knee is really bad and Tylenol, Aleeve - nothing is helping only making her feel sick - OF course I piped up: Why not ask your Dr. for cannabis? She looked at me eyes wide and said "I wish I could get a prescription- I know cannabis helps" - I replied: DEMAND IT. DEMAND it. Go to your Dr. if you are legitimately suffering (and they know if you are) and DEMAND IT if you feel it is better for you - this time next year it will be legal and Dr.s should be providing PAIN RELIEF. Perhaps more Americans should demand it. My gosh you're not A CRIMINAL because you want pain relief- Criminals are the ones WHO force you to take something against your wishes- NOT good for you - in order for profit. That is all it is. As soon as Dr.s make money off of cannabis like all OTHER prescriptions, and why not- they are a business like everyone else... they will l change their tune- they had better or they will miss the canna boat. Cannabis is proven for numerous ailments and I can attest to PAIN being one of them. I have witnessed now for over 10 years how it has helped our son, and I also use it for pain and frustration. It was not as accepted in Orange County- I didn't feel as comfortable - there were kids on both sides of the house... I didn't medicate enough. I felt more at peace but this' is persistent . My seed planter is a little tired in her appearance- she has bigger issues than vegetables to think about. Ending the war on each other - not drugs. We all have other more pressing issues to focus on - How about those vegetable gardens!? Hunger is a problem & a better reason yet - MEAT is a bigger problem on many levels so: VEGE UP AMERICA! Plant & raise a seed of awareness if nothing else - help end the insanity. You deserve to be happy, healthy & wealthy - you work hard don't you? Sow the seeds of Victory - Today they would be HEMP seeds and Cananbis seeds. & lets change it to 'Every Garden a Nutritious Plant.' ? It's a start for peace. Plants & people.. God provided every seed for everyone- Genesis 1:11.. What is there to be confused about? YOU ARE NOT criminals for wanting to be happy, Healthy & Wealthy. It's the American Dream. after all. With Love g I did get to think calmly a great deal when I was away.
Reflect as I watched the reflections of the sky, surfers, swimmers & few birds in the ocean. I give up on humanity making sense. I give up on trying to please others... I've spent my life trying to please others. Enough. I will do what ever the F*&k I want and draw as I please - to please myself first. I found myself staring at Facebook not wanting to paint.. I then thought of how I could stare at the ocean the same and achieve peace. I then deleted FaceBook. It actually LET me. I'm having difficulty with social media, for every few real there are a thousand FAKE. Women & men constantly degrading themselves, some photos I see on IG - I think - "Really? What do you expect when someone treats you like a piece of meat' when you behave like one? To me it shows lack of class, morals and IMAGINATION. Showing your pussy for this world to see - why would anyone want a serious relationship with someone they found showing their vagina to the universe? It's no longer special. YOU are not serious & should not be taken seriously. If all someone is worried about is a blowjob or a f*ck - - it is shallow to the max & you will get what you pay for. If you are a young woman out there - Please think about what you are posting.. 'that crotch shot for your honey'- is also for all the world to see. Men who will look at you & form an opinion - trust me -some might think it's hot at first and then treat you like trash after a while - what do you expect? It happens a million times over, every day. Is all you have to contribute a photo of you boobs, ass or vagina to this universe? Come On - Get creative... be more. Shallow applies to men and women. Actually... did you know MORE MEN post photos of themselves than women on Instagram.. Hmmmmmmmmmm.. Conclusion? I'm not going to 'follow people just to follow' - I'd much rather lead and try to do this by example. No wonder the world is messed up - look at the worlds 'leading examples' & what's discussed most on Social Media. No wonder many are losing faith in humanity. I felt awakened returning from California - for which I am truly grateful. Several topics on my mind- time to get off of FaceBook and focus. Draw & paint with purpose or what's the point? I still give up.. not on myself. Not on God. Some will not like my new material others will resinate with it and enjoy it, I have no doubts. I am not here to please. I'm here to serve. Tomorrow: Sow the seeds.. an American influence cannabis art work. With Love g I give up. I'm either pissing people off it seems or being ignored by those I love & care about. I can't do it anymore. I'm sorry to all I have offended for it was not my intention. I give up. I give up on sending people cards. I'll paint.. why I'm not sure anymore- only - it's all I know. I give up. With Love. g California is one of the most beautiful places visual I've ever been - the weather - I'm missing it already on this chilly rainy day! - lol At least I had a bit of a break. I am thankful.
Poppy is sleeping still - jet lag big time. Above all else, I was taken back with the plant life! If you are inspired by plants they are everywhere and in all colors, shapes, sizes & succulents galore! There were so many I did not know what to paint. The trees made me SMILE!I must have looked a big squirrley myself, standing at he base hugging, feeling and looking up into the magnificent trunks. Leaves I've never seen, touched and even tasted - it would be a reason I will say to many "Go see California!" I'm told it's like this YEAR round. Everyone would agree the plant life is something to see. Sadly- literally the afternoon before I left a woman told me about Crown Valley botanical garden! GO see it if you get to Orange County & tell me what it was like. Everyday was an adventure on our walk! I carried something back with me each time- to paint, smell and explore... I wished I could start my own collection of seed pods - tiny alien cases waiting to let loose new life & blooms. Colors which would stimulate until I leaned in for a smell and in most cases the thoughts of heaven came to mind.. this must be what it would smell like. I picked a tiny bloom and tossed it in my purse only to be reminded when the entire room smelled of it later. Below are a few of my favourite photos some I am painting and adding into other works. As an artist there is nothing like your own custom reference library for in what is in my own mind 'my next perfect composition.' Going to California for these photos, experiencing it first hand was a dream come true. Follow your dreams! I made a promise - as I am blessed I''ll continue to say 'Yes' to adventure! Be it in on a plane or in a new plant discovery. Time to paint! It makes me feel warm just thinking about it. With Love g When you look deeply into your anger, you will see that the person you call your enemy is also suffering. As soon as you see that, the capacity for accepting and having compassion for them is there. - Thich Nhat Hanh - I read the L.A. Times while away and enjoyed it better than the sun- it wasn't as negative - even tho it was full of Trump. Informative, yes liberal and it educated me on issues as a Canadian in particular, I had no idea of the extent some are facing in the USA.. living in FEAR - not of ISIS or terrorism but of deportation - JAIL before deportation. $$ before proven innocent. OTHER people (is simply what they are) who want a better life and many who have lived in the USA for decades, contributing in every way, paying taxes, working hard, raising kids & sending them through school and more- now live in fear of waking up one day to find police stalking their home to arrest them and take them from their family- WHAT have they done wrong exactly?? WHO did they physically hurt? NO ONE.
It's messed up and I was grateful I grew up in Toronto instead of California because I don't ever want to think' like many of them do. Read what inspired this cartoon: http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-immigrants-running-road-sign-20170614-htmlstory.html As I thought of all those STRUCK by vehicles - children.. why? Because they are suffering and want "the American dream", which we all wanted for a while. I did! As a kid- I couldn't wait to go to the USA! I still can't wait but my last trip as fun as it was, everything for a reason - was a rude awakening on several issues. I'm sure I might anger some but I felt like I walked into the StepfordFamily reality show. I can't believe how rude many all appear, at the grocery store they are never polite or smile or even acknowledge the cashiers. It was like a giant community of 'stuck up' - 'I'm better than the rest' attitudes. You can feel the hatred. I could and at times I could feel my heart ache... I'd think it was 'just me' and I'd meet another person who would reaffirm. One man literally said to me: "when they meet each other here they shouldn't say - hello what's your name? They should say- what's your income?.. and then they'd might go (He animatedly thew out his hand to shake) Oh, hello' upon hearing a higher $$$ income! Amazed I said "YES! Thank you!" it was exactly how I felt as well - oh and btw.. he was the ONLY black man I saw during my stay *with the exception of one day at a more 'touristy place' I saw a couple of black famalies - I thank them secretly for helping me 'feel normal, comfortable, a Canadian raised in Toronto normal - Thank God. Is this how you want to be seen OC? Because you are. Unlike your outer beauty your inner is not attractive. It's NOT just me. In conclusion, I guess I do love the not so friendly OC people the most for they must be suffering the most - or they would not treat others the way they do. It is such a stunning state! I know it would be reflected more by the people if everyone was not walking around so angry at others, pay attention to what your little ones are witnessing. Who put borders where they are? God? I doubt it. Is this what you teach your children? I am glad these signs are diminishing along with the attitudes. With love g I am physically back at my desk but mentally I’m still searching the Coast of California!
I still havn’t found what I’m looking for.. have you? I know what it is - it might take me a while but California, if anything made me realize I do know what I'm searching for & exactly what I’m done looking at. The weather was incredible. It was SUNSHINE every day-- it was hot- yes.. but not as hot as other parts of California- and they had fires from the heat - I was worried a little- it's hard not to do when you walk the canyon and look at how dry it was. It also had me thinking & praying for my fellow Canadians in B.C. - also battling blazes from the fires. Global warming is bull Trump? You don't say. Phhhbt.. I read the L.A Times every day and it was GLOOMY to say the least. Sadder than we realize here in Canada. People are not happy about Trump, EVEN his supporters are kinda 'Hush hush'- who would want to brag about voting in such a tyrant!? There was a feel to July 4th which was equally disheartened - I thought it would be like here- happy canada day!! Weeeeeeee!! Poutine anyone?! NOPE.. yes there were flags and fireworks but I certainly did not feel AMERICAN pride, I read the letter to the editor and I was not alone, many Americans struggled with this past July4th. I'll touch on illegal immigrants in a cartoon. (of course) Cannabis- not nearly what I thought! More on that soon also. California itself was stunning- the plant life alone was astonishing. I did speak to many people as I do and had a lot of fun and laughs and time to think.. away from normal day to day stuff.. t was needed. I feel stronger. healthier- My friend is a vegetarian and he had me and poppy fooled many a time! lol I will say too - every time I turned around she was on his ap at the computer- I was getting jelly! lol But I asked Do you wan t to stay in California Poppy- Nope, she was ready to FLY! What a flyer she is! Home to a pissed off BIRD! He is looking at me- and NOT singing- where have you been? He's asking with his tiny beaky glare. Dogs who won't leave my side and an over grown garden- I'll be busy the next few.. still thinking of California no doubts. I didn't find what I was looking for.. next adventure- coming SOON! Wait and see. I will do what it takes to follow my dreams - God's got plans for me. I'm reminded daily. What these plans are.. I'm not sure. I surrender and wait for a sign... lol I didn't ask- signs come. So do MIRACLES! with Love. G The entire time I've been here - I've spied lemons.. in the back yard behind me and across the street, I've been tempted to climb the fence and do some midnight picking - but alas - I didn't have to - I just asked a neighbor.
She said "absolutely!" after finding out I was Canadian and she is a fan of Justin Trudeau. It was by far the loveliest lemon I've ever had - Just he smell alone was worth the attempt! This morning I thought I'd start with a 'thank you card' - instead of a no name art drop. I do have an art (or two) drop for the airport ;) Why Not! It's that time - Poppy & I are back on our way to bear county.. back to Canada. California is HOT - Poppy is not complaining! I'm looking forward to TREES with lots of shade and birds, I've not seen or heard so many here as I do at home including my own little bird. I've got photos and memories to paint as well as several cartoons. Most will be perceived well one in particular won't but it's played on my mind most of this vacation and I'm going to draw it shortly after I return home. I did not see all I was expecting- does anyone on vacation? I can't complain about the weather- the trip was a breeze from start to finish & I anticipate it being the same for our return. I've learned MUCH about much... some more than I anticipated. I learned above all else - Poppy is the best traveling companion I've ever had or could hope for. with Love g |
