200,000 Americans DEAD from Covid.
Just another day in paradise...   Fore!!!

Trump lies, encourages violence,  doesn't pay taxes, twitters nastiness all day long...  tells the poor to pay taxes.  Pays $70,000 for hair products...
Actually,  Americans paid $70,000 for Trumps hair products and probably a lot more for his golf clubs, golf shoes and that fancy RED hat.  

Trump Golfs.
Americans continue to die.
200,000 & counting.

I think this Halloween will be a no brainer'  - tiny superheros - all in blue.
From head to toe in hospital gowns, booties, gloves & masks...
 the ultimate 'Covid Costume 2020' 

ONE SIZE fits all... boy or girl.
It would be a safe start...   will Halloween BE? I don't know.  I don't care. 
I wouldn't want a bunch of germ carring demons visiting me for a sweet treat... not this year.   Not that we expect to see anyone - kids or adults. 

I think we should skip it.

A mental health Monday - editorial.
Canadians can help put their mental health to rest, with MAID.
I have researched M.A.I.D. & am grateful for the service.
​
I decided to draw a logo for M.A.I.D...   they did not ask.
I think it would lighten the mood a bit.  
I read business is 'booming' due to covid. (Sorry Boomers)
Maid, cleaning house like a BOSS..
In control.

I AM all for M.A.I.D. 
BTW.

One planet.  I was thinking while painting this about our planet.. not doing so well & here we are distracted by social media, covid & corrupt politicians.  
It has silver paint so it looks different in the light, more so it was enjoyable to paint & ponder.

I'm caught - do I stay on social media.. to see my friends?  My account is private because  I don't care about numbers, quality not quantity in all things I guess.. all things in moderation. I was sent a follow request & instantly  knew this person had nasty intentions,  so nasty I could feel it, yet her  profile touted  "Full of Light & Love"  a sprirtual goddess - lol the account is covered with  images of ass (like countless others)  woman showing their ass & tits on social media (little more) enriching the rest of us - not me.
  
Not the the first imagry I think of when I associate 'Love & light'  - how about you?  
It's disappointing when I see beautiful TALENTED women - not foucing on their gifts or talents or mind.  She then proceeeded (which I expected) to message me- and judge me and suggest 'how I should live' - LOL .  What an interesting social experiment this is..  
Full of light and Love -  FULL of...  ego.   Full of.      Full.  
Luckily, I was sent a message of true love to counteract this nasty note from a very inspring woman, I shall focus on it and the message. YOU will love it.. I'm going to illustraite the prayer I was sent.

I'm no stranger to nasty messages- it happened when my FB was 15,000+  one of the reason I deleted.  I don't believe I've ever intentionally sent anyone a nasty message, let alone initiated it.  I am guilty of reflecting how I am treated. I'm not perfect. Never said I was, I don't go around claiming to be full of 'light and love' then judge someone - someone I do not KNOW... Phhhbt. Some groupies un-followed shortly after.. lol seen it too many times before & I was GRATEFUL - I don't surround myself with fakes in reall life - why do it on social media- those who unfollow you - are doing you a favor.  
Those who act with nasty  intentions (wrapped in love & light) will seen for what they are, sooner or later. 

Either way- I was glad too because I've been debating a socialmedia break- time to enjoy these stunning leaves & life. :)  I had a light bulb moment - trying to figure out why a neighbour called the town on us for building our shop.  I realized & and addressed - the true issue is with the TOWN of Minden.   More tomorrow, when I show you Norms most recent reno - we had guests & had fun keeping our distance, easy to do a big deck.  
No inside guests until this covid crap is over. 

I will continue to share art here, editorials and thoughts, it's become a habit after 10 years +
& this past week - thank you in particular to those who sent me messages, read the blog (some for 10 years - wow), in particular my American friends. I currently am at a loss for words - that and I don't want to share the words I do have for whats happening- they won't 'help'.  I am concerned for several - I have grown quite fond of a few Americanas this past years.

Next Norms recent reno- impressed our guests beyond words.

A painting I did while playing. I can't paint anything serious' at the moment as the PUP needs my attentionn more.  Good puppy traing = great dog companion for life!  So far so good- I can't belive in less that a week- my girl comes to her name, sit's, gives paw. 
The interaction between them all has me constantly laughing out loud! Nothing like a pup!
So I paint  quick stuff to keep me painting.  I have new goat painting in the works and several editorial.

Yesterday, I got a e mail from my friend in Toronto in the wheelchair & after hours  of contemplation I wrote to Justin, John Tory & Doug Ford telling them to GET their shit together!  Their constant confusion is KILLING/hurting Canadians.  This "all in this together"  bullshit- is that - bullshit. Neighbours  ratting about building permits...
My friend lives with a roommate as she can't afford on disability to live other own.  She lives in building in Toronto and MUST USE the elevator - WHEELCHAIR - there are signs that say only so many on the elevator and you must wear a mask- well her roommate (out to get them supplies)  when returning and several got on the elevator- too many & NO MASKS! - He questioned them if they read the notice in the lobby..    a few moments later some woman knocked on their door & PUNCHED HIM IN THE FACE! Telling him to mind his fucking business.  WTF!?  She has not received any extra assistance!  
 ???

Her roommate was also in a taxi and the driver was yelling into a phone - NO mask - he asked him to get off the phone and put on his mask & the taxi driver pulled over and told him to get the fuck out of his car.  THIS SHIT IS HAPPENING because OUR 'LEADERS" can't get their shit together, FACT!    I've no doubts this  is NOT an isolated offence- and NO my friend does not want to call the police for FEAR of escalation, I get it.  
So enough with this bullshit WE are ALL in this together! ARE WE?   

Are you going to ease someone stress today or ADD to it? 
Speaks volumes about you - what you choose to do - how you treat your neighbour.
Actions speak louder than words.  

Those who refuse to wear a mask - should absolutely addressed & fined.
In indonesia they make them dig the grave sites for covid deaths - sounds like a great idea to me. Or how about we send them to jail for  week- in jail with no soap, sanitizers and POOR ventilation, no mask to wear there.... With winter coming- every non violent crime also becomes  a possible death sentence. ALL in this together?  

BULLSHIT.

It's Storms birthday & the first day of fall (summer offically ends this morning at: 9:30a.m.) YAY!  Storm visited on the weekend!  I love FALL & Storm. 
Storm is an essential worker during covid - thank God, continuing to provide thousands with pain medicine/relief  mental & physical during an exceptionally stressful time, as covid number continue to climb & winter is now only a season away.  I'm so grateful he visited.  
I know how busy he (they) are all.   Growing massive cannabis gardens is team work with no holidays - farming.  Plants need constant attention - or you won't get the desired results. 

Storm visits and he becomes  his dads essential worker! lol  
Norm's built his shop to date, completely on his own and I can tell you it's IMPRESSIVE.  He was thrilled when Storm arrived too - for several reasons.. lol   These two are two of the hardest working men I know & I am proud & grateful for them both.
Times flies.  

I am starting to realize - all the BLESSINGS covid has brought.  How about you?
Time with my son & husband even more precious. These two are my inspiration & bring me joy each day, yes we have our 'moments'... all families do.  
Each 'moment' a little learning lesson. I am grateful for every second. 
My son is a gift from God, (all children are) the past 28 years have been by far the best in my life. I look forward to every visit, everyday, every text.     ;)  

Arrow immediately bonded with Storm, of course.  
Our family grows in size & LOVE - daily.  
Amen.

Hug your son! Pat your dogs!
GET outside & enjoy this fantastic fall day!
I got a goat to paint.

What a fantastic weekend we just experienced!  The weather was sunsational -  a little brisk but that's to be expected - it is FALL officially- in 2 days. We were BUSY!

My weekend started off not so good- I was informed a neighbour "ratted" on us that we are building Norms shop.  WTF?  At first I was pissed, cried and then got angry again. IT HAS Nothing to do with the shop... everything to do with nasty humans.  Here's the thing- our property is secluded.. you cannot see my house from the end of the drive way, let alone Norms shop.  I learned long ago tho,  people like this... are usually MISERABLE.  
Ponder about this for a moment.. with all that's going on like a deadly pandemic, stress at an altiem high all around - and this person has nothing better to do than rat on a neighbour?  "We are all in this together..."  RIGHT.  That's bullshit - not with neighbours  like this. I was telling Storm how angry I got and he reminded -anyone would - you've done nothing to anyone & worked very hard to be here.
​
We are NOT bothering anyone, we are not asking anyone for help, we can afford to do this... it is what it is JEALOUSY  & this is what reminds me to move on, I will confirm 'who' & I will address that person & ASK them: exactly what I have done to them to cause them to be so un-neighbourly, after all, if you are going to be have like c*nt  you can at least explain why... no?  ​

More on the amazing shop soon!  It makes us happy& excited!
Life is constantly YING & YANG - ups & downs.. deal with them all - cause that's how it is. 
The weekend from there only got better.. Storm showed up to help his dad with his shop, met the pup and we celebrated his BIRTHDAY! Officially tomorrow - but he is busy working  so we celebrated early.  I love having him here, it feels complete.  We had many wonderful meals The Millpond & Rhubarb both close, FANTASTIC restaurants (nom nom)  what's good? EVERYTHING.   This made us happy.

It is difficult NOT hugging my son...  that makes me sad.
​
Lots of puppy/dog time and the puppy adventure has begun! Makes me so happy & tired.  We had one of the best weekends in a while - we are so grateful (all of us) the 3 of US are well aware of the journey and how far we have come what we have delt with and will continue to deal with. The love between us is obvious and that is powerful.  Happy.

What's bad for our mental health -  'thinking' about  nasty c*nt's, makes me feel- Sad.  
        
                                                                        SO  DON'T.

Rest peacefully knowing: Karma will handle them...  it already is, they are miserable, nosy individuals - OBVIOUSLY.  Focus on your pets, family and what makes you smile. Puppys & painting & this pup likes to POSE!  Have a beautiful day we are BUSY - happily.
I had an American friend send me a message yesterday: I wish I could punch fucking Americans in the mouth.
It made me LOL & yes, I understand & appreciate her honesty.  
​I feel the same (and a few Canadians)...   the ones making each other sick anyhow.  

We are ALL in this together, so how about YOU be nice so others don't want to punch you in the mouth?

with TLC & THC.
me.... and my Arrow!!   :) Know how I got that name? 

What I do at night (with hair) hahaha.
Inspired by Cathy Senitt the artist who use to live on this hill.  
I was an instant fan of her work, I'm kinda the same style.. I think. ;)  I actually got to see an original! I love originals... I should have asked if I could linger longer, I like to look for brushstrokes.   I sent Cathy a letter & she responded ;)  happily she is doing well and mentioned she liked my editorials - she understands the work involved. The rest she found "interesting... I think."   lol     Made my day.

I'm not tired of life - I am tired of negative news feeds & it was getting to me. 
Sick of even hearing about Trump & COVID  glad when they are both  wiped off the face of the earth.  I'm actually thrilled to be HERE - as in here.  Grateful.  Thankful. 
Are you?   Read about India, child marriage, child trafficking & covid, a sad education with what's hapening in the rest of the world.
I have NOTHING to complain about.

I see a red tree.

I started my own 40 day thank-you challenge.
40 days - I'm thanking 40 people for Being them.  Card time...  40
The first mailed, was pretty funny- in my opinion.. lol
I'll be sharing them, after I know they have been delivered.

​Today I've got Sunshine! &  much to discover.
Have a lovely day... turn off the news. It's ratings gone up apparently by 46% since this covid.  They are keeping YOU glued and not in a good way. Please, consider turing off your  television to rest  your mind & body.

with Love
Georgia   

Next.. more Sunshine.
