Had someone told me 5 years ago : in 5 years the military will be deployed in Canada to vaccinate everyone & there’s talks of possibly microchipping people -  I would have said -
   Oh fuck off, you conspiracy theorist. Wait.. have I not read about this in some science fiction maybe 10 - 20 years ago?  Or was that more of prediction fiction.  We need to go back and reinstate some of our best novels.


  Did you know  the term ‘conspiracy theory’ was designed propaganda by the CIA to dismiss, deflect, and HIDE.  Research it.   How many ‘conspiracy theories’  of the past have come to fruition?  Think about it…  Why is so hard for people to understand above all else this vaccine business  is a BUSINESS.
The speed in which this vaccine has been created is concerning- if not, then you are not aware of how long it takes to test medications properly - in order to understand what LONG TERM side effects there MIGHT be.

I fucking hate to hear of anyone  (especially anyone I care about) on antidepressants… and I know of a few who have started prescriptions  during this pandemic.
These are depressing times… let’s learn to accept and deal with that instead of  ‘pill up’ - no doubts thousands have started antidepressants the past few months.  Research them.. 
I DO believe antidepressants actually increase suicidal feelings  & I do say this with way too much personal experience.   at least 30 years of experience on antidepressants.  I often wonder IF they are in fact what has caused my TN - a living nightmare.   Look into ‘the marketing of madness’ - I was grateful for the education over a decade ago.   
I’d rather learn to live with depression than put anymore poison into my body.

Now,  we are expected to believe this  vaccine will be the new ‘gonna fix it all’…   Understand- I am NOT - ANTI vaccination - I am cautious about a vaccine PUSHED on us before we actually KNOW what IT will do to our bodies. THIS IS the ultimate test here- mandatory vaccine - FUCK NO - that is against humans rights. 
NO one should be permitted to put anything in anyones body if they do not wish.  EVER.  Pay attention - think about this please… it is a VERY big deal.

No,  I will not the the first in line, if it means I have some restrictions and to remain  social distancing for a while longer - so be it. Until ‘I’ feel safe, am educated and aware- of possible side effects - I’ll take my chances and THAT should absolutely BE each individuals choice.
This is an incredibly slippery slope we are ALL on.  Pandemic or None.
Don’t fool yourself  a few (limited few) will become very rich on the vaccine - business is business.   Not everyone is as concerned about the side effects as they are a side bank account.
This BULLSHIT with BIG stores being able to remain OPEN is exactly that - BULLSHIT.
The rich getting richer  while all the small stores go under - it is NOT fair or right.
& remember a few years ago when the talk of ‘micro chipping people’ was considered a conspiracy theory - Look into what Dr. Tam thinks about microchipping, not to mention she works for WHO?  is that not a conflict of interest? I don’t know.
& THAT IS MY POINT…


We don’t know.

Painting paddles pondering pandemics -is what I've been doing.. how about you?
So much on my mind... I've decided to add some in point form.
First-  YAY! I found a place to purchase paddles! & I might add - have a peek at the website as - I believe a custom paddle would be a lovely gift (made in Canada) treasured and enjoyed for generations- and the website lets you customize! No, I doubt Corey will paint them for you - hee hee  Corey is the guy making paddles and he's very kind, I called and stated I wanted 'plain paddles' to paint - he had varnished, I said my hubby will have to sand... but Corey took upon himself to sand them for me!  I'm thrilled and was painting MY paddle late into the evening - a loon on one side & bear on the other for when I want to switch it up ;)    now to get busy a couple are Christmas gifts, one will be painted to donate to raise funds & a couple will be painted to sell.  

-All the loon bird houses sold-  yay! That was fast,  the next set: Cockhouses   lol
     should be completed mid week- ready for sale! 
-It snowed! Goats & chickens do not like snow.
-Do you understand that vaccines are a business - like anything else?
-Alcohol abuse is up as is  domestic & child abuse.  A young boy is dead & police officer shot locally, I  don't know he details  I wonder if alcohol was involved.  
-I HIGHLY reccomend you watch this interview- knowledge is power & isn't this topic something we should ALL really be looking into?

-I will NEVER dehorn a goat after what I have read - NEVER.
-Norm gave the dogs the worst toy- it scares the fuck out of me almost daily but is funny.
-I'm skipping Christmas,, maybe just a tiny tree - from our property -only if in way of trail.
-I'm painting items for my home -it's going to be colourful & painted with TLC in every corner.

A Smoking hot Cock.  Formerly known as Foghorn.
It is with a heavy heart I share our first fatality on the farm and of course I was literaly painting him - when it happened.  Gloria (my big black rooster whom I thought was a hen) is a asshole.. he kept beating up Foghorn and we were literally making up a FREE ROOSTER sign to get rid of him & just keep Foghorn.   Gloria beat up Foghorn several times to the point he jumped out of the pen - several times.  Clearly they can get out - if they choose.

I heard the commotion  (as did the dogs)  I looked out the window to see Gloria again brutally beating on Foghorn - the dogs heard it too... Foghorn was flying around the pen but Gloria was relentless and 3 times his size... she grew fast the past couple of months.
I thought he was hiding under the coop,   he was hiding under the back deck.. the dogs found him and Norm found the dogs.
 
The dogs although they have never attacked a chicken in the coop - thought Foghorn was fair game running loose, I guess. They will more training around the chickens, in some dogs I do believe it's instinct, they do their job by protecting the Farm & that's most important. 

Sad yes, very much but at the same time I was warned, several girlfriends shared - shit happens, especially to chickens... cats, dogs, hawks - other chickens, stuff falls on them, they get get caught in places and can't get out, it's all part of farm life and life.  
I decided I'd continue the painting and work through it,  not an easy task - tears & gouache don't go good together.   I felt bad for Norm, he was closer to Foghorn.

I would advise against getting roosters.
You don't need them for eggs - Yes, if you want to  eggs to become chickens.
Crow at sunrise - HA! That is only in the movies as I NOW know - lol, this mother clucker crows when ever he wants to!  Still, I'll take the noise of a Rooster than TRAFFIC or Urban noise any day. Good Bye Foghorn.

I still don't get it..   those snowbirds.
I don't understand people at all lately.

Hairless kitties fuck with your mind.  As I painted this kitty - I kept (naturally) wanting to brush fur or 'a' whisker even.. I had to focus and remember this is a genetic hairless kitty and was not easy to paint.  The wrinkles adorable tho.  I guess this is what cats look like without fur.

Mental Health Monday - Many will be feeling EVEN more stressed today with the current information: The Military will be deployed to vaccinate us all. 
The military will be administering the vaccine...   sounds a little 'Handmaidenish' don't you think?  Ironically, I did have a friend tell me this months ago.. I brushed it off with little thought, not now.  Is anyone else slightly concerned? Will it  be mandatory - that would cause a bit of chaos imo - no.. it won't be mandatory but good luck traveling, shopping or if you have to go to the hospital - you'll get it or you won't be able to play'.  

Here we go... I don't even know what to think today.. editorials are spilling out my ears.

About the 'vaccine'... about side effects.  Are we playing with covid cures?  Swatting at things in the air- it appears so.. a government who can't seems to get on the same page with rules and regulations are leading me to believe  they have in fact- known this was the direction INDEED that this was all GOING to go.
  Not being an essential worker, I  have the luxury of time & reading & I'll tell you there is very conflicting, interesting information circluating right now... worlddoctorsalliance.com some very intelligent people are speaking up about the current situation and motive behind it-  have a read.. THINK for yourself- what do you think? 

I've had several reactions over my life time with medication - once almost killed me - luckily I was in the hospital when it happened., my friend Kat happened to be visiting me and noticed I started slurring & my tongue  (should be spelled TUNG)  started to swell and I started to pass out - the nurses came running  with a shot' to counter act  the previous medication and here I sit. 

Another occasion the medication I was given made me feel like ripping my skin off,  itchy - from the inside out - I was off it in 2 days.  I often vomit when taking  pills -they don't sit well in my stomach & opitaes really mess me up leaving me  feel lathargic, uncoordinated, sick and constipated - nope, LET FOOD BE they medicine & even that is natural, my medicine.  NO - I don't want to be first in line for this vaccine. 
​Side effects.. can linger and not show for years.
Will the cure - be the cure or  a future curse?  
Try not to stress about this.. read & become more educated and better prepared.
​
 Hairless kittys are not for me but it was pleasurable to paint!

Wanting to spend more time with Jesus...   I've decided to paint Him 
I read artistically you naturally get better - as few as 40 attempts at anything...
try it!  Draw your cat, cup, pup or the same potted plant everyday and watch what happens.

Apparently, you can break or form new habits in 40 days. IF you sick with it.
40 times lost in thought ...not lost - exactly where I want to BE.
Painting Jesus will be 40 times meditating on love.

This painting was about the feeling more than the portrait'.
I felt peaceful after painting...  excited to start the 2nd.

​Amen

Some days - you just need to sit back and give.. not one fuck.
Not about anything or anyone.. chances are, the world & those we care about will still be there when you return from a small break

Justin Trudeau gave us his new opinion and it sucks... I remember not celebrating Thanksgiving - in hopes we might celebrate Christmas.  The 'holiday' now comes with an entirly new level of not needed stress - for too many.
Others lives are more importnt to me than a holiday so...  I'll go with the flow.

I'm sure you are aware of disbelievers.. well, there are days I tell you I don't know what to fucking think about any of this- the vaccine is disturbing, in the past- they took MUCH longer to test before giving it frankly.  I'm in no hurry to get it.   If you research and watch - there are many VERY educated people questioning all of this and the lock downs.  Yes, it is confusing - the government can't seem to get their shit together and get on the same page - no wonder poeple are becoming impatient and tired - covid exhasuted.

RIGHT NOW - I will wear a mask- NOT because the goverment insists, because I care about you - strangers.. I don't want to make you sick.  I I don't know enough to take a chance.  Do you?  It's that simple.  I do believe masks work to some degree.  Just say - this is all a giant hoax (I don't feel it is)  but just say it is... either way- I would rather be known as a "sheep" (far from)  for wearing a mask than someone who refuses to wear a mask and takes a 'CHANCE' in making others sick.  I'm not concerned about dying - fyi  - I  just don't want to get sick'... do you?   

I already live with chronic pain from Arthritis & the the fucking constant TN that wakes me up most days before the rooster and fucks with me ALL DAY LONG.
Right now - nope, I cant do it.. not one fuck will be given about covid, masks, Trump or vaccines.

I am trying to shop LOCAL - my neighbours need the help - everyone should be doing the same, suport your local community so they are still there after this pandemic.  
I decided to buy  ALL Canadian  made this Christmas and homemade'  & I'll be painting & not giving one fuck... until, maybe Monday.  
​;)
 

Just wear the mask when out.
​Just do it.

puzzleThat's Tom! The Bird house guy... he builds em & I paint em Eh! lol
I love the newest BIRD house -  A loon!  
It's become my own personal challenge to make each bird house better than the last & enjoy what I'm doing.  Can you tell?  Tom enjoys keeping busy - we finally met & instantly 'hit it off' as did his lovely wife & I... I knew we would.  Each loon is different- I paint 4 at a time & I keep one.. so if you like a loon you better hurry!  I am very tempted to keep all these loons- they'll look so neat up on a post.

There are ways we can still help each other.. Volunteer your services!
We voluntered the Bumble display & are thrilled.. we can actually hear' how happily it's being received in the community.  Making others smile' is powerful stuff.

Stay in & stay safe - stay creative! Are you prepared for this winter? It's going to be a terrific time to learn a new hobby, start a new puzzle, knit a new sweater (I wish), paint a new masterpiece! I'll definately be painting a few more bird houses.

5 minutes after I posted yesterday - Norm came in with Gloria under his arm! YAY!!  lol   Thoughts of Gloria freezing in the woods in -12 weather  was upsetting.
20 minutes later I was making a 'Free to a Good Home.. ASSHOLE Rooster', sign.  It's how they got out - from Gloria picking on Foghorn and he will win- he is easily 3 times Foghorns size - He's a big beautiful bird black (green in the sunlight) but he is too big for my tiny chickens- want a rooster?  
It has forced us to have a farm conversation.. if we can not find a home for Gloria, I guess he should end up in our freezer.    I was warned about roosters...  did you know it is hard to tell the difference when they are small chicks.  I know, now.
Gloria is also nasty twoards the small dogs - Daisy has alwasy had it 'out for Gloria'- I wonder if animals know which animals are assholes?   I think so.  For now - Gloria is safe, warm & fed in the zen hen den... for now. 

Next  How Kermit & I feel about all this covid crap.

The beat goes on...  as does life - even during a pandemic.It’s been a busy few days.. Norm put up the display at Canoe FM & it’s well received!  We are very happy Bumble & friends are making others SMILE this holiday season.  It’s nice to ‘hear each announcer  express their ‘Glee’.

While he set up the display - my cocks got into a fight!  IT was brutal… not something I ever want to witness again- they fought right out of the pen!  I knew those chickens could get out if they wanted.. they’ve not wanted to, obviously.  When Norm arrived home- Foghorn went running to him- it was sweet- but Gloria was chased by Daisy into the forest   She did come back once BUT Daisy saw her before us & the chase was on again. We have tried for 2 days to get him back.  I can hear him in the morning calling.. I know he made it back once…  I’m hopeful.  Chasing chicken in the woods, cause we have noting else to do -  ha… lol 

I’ve painted my newest set of birdhouses- these ARE bird houses!  I am tempted to keep them all…  it’s quite fun creating these custom bird houses= I think I’ve already got an idea for he next set. I’ve decided to only make 8 of each - one goes to me -so if you want one in particular you better get it before it’s gone, I won’t be re creating the same pattern twice. I'll show you them next!

Animal on the psilocybin drums.. the beat goes on!  Do something that makes you feel good!  Lord knows the news is OVERWHELMING -   keep yourself creative so you don’t get feeling like it’s too much… if there’s another lockdown - do you have something to keep yu busy are you prepared?

Winter is here! What outdoor activities can you do this year?  I might train my goat to pull a toboggan - hee hee hee.  Goats like to work actually, they love to be social.  For now - I’ll walk in the woods - still  searching for Gloria the nasty girl who likes to fight! When we get him back he will go into the chicken jail until he behaves.  Maybe after his adventure he will behave nicer to his fellow feathered family.

The beat goes on…  grab your sticks!
