Hello April!

April fools it appears we are - first we woke up to more snow!  lol  The sunshine is melting it quickly tho, and today is the day privately owned dispensaries are permitted to open legally - those who won the Cannabis store lottery- apparently only one is officially ready to open... jokes on us again?   I did see on the news one place in particular - the woman states in interview  (more or less - I'm not sure of exact wording)  This new 'Canadian dispensary' - bragged how they wanted to start off right' & they hired an American company  to design the store -  WTF?  I'm not going there to shop... it's that simple.

Believing  the USA has better creative humans/resources than right here in Canada...  
is a joke.
Canada is incredibly Creative.

It's not personal my American friends - I KNOW you would feel the same & to be perfectly honest - I think it's a recipe for failure here in Canada (well they do have the cannabis that will help them) look at all the 'big USA brand stores designed, inspired by American mentality - currently not doing that well in Canada, several locations closed or closing.. Target for example.  Many of these other places all appear somewhat 'cold,  impersonal & very 'consumerism' driven.   Not very Canadian imo..  
Not friendly, approachable or enjoyable..     Eh?!

So - Happy April fools! 'one' more Cannabis store  to visit - I'll wait to see what other creative CANADIAN inspirations appear before I choose to spend my Canadian money  to support other Creative Canadians.

Have a terrific day!  
​I've got a date with a Space Monkey!

Who's ready for summer?? Me!  21 days till spring...
This owl peeking around the corner flys off the page, I love this feathered friend if I do say so! What  a pleasure to paint such delicate plumage - Canadian barn owls this summer flying over  cannabis field in the cool summer evenings - can't wait!

Norm came home and showed me the paper right away (held it up to my nose- yes, he rubbed my nose in it you could say) - "Trudeau's time is up.."  he says and looks at me for a reaction - which made me think two things: ...Norms got a death wish   (lol)        &
Are we encouraging Fake news now,  nasty news?  Phhhhbt....  Man oh man- talk about ship jumpers - JUMP- cause there's just as many sharks in that icy cold water wussy! 'Trudeaus day are numbered' &  my pal Crusty Rusty had to get a jab in too today - called me first thing to ask if I was paying attention to 'my heros happenings' - or something smart ass like that I don't remember his exact words.  My response to them and anyone else... with 'Canadians' like you waiting for him fail - almost encouraging - wow. Are you paying attention to whats happening down south?  Speaking of The USA - Take a look at who' is still calling the shots as of today - wtf? & is still making deals with others. YIKES....
 and hang on - What about those  planes  NOT flying over India this morning?   WTF?  

I'm not blind or ignorant - I have developed a heavenly habit of reading during the day  yes, I do read, it is a luxury many do not realize you have.  Yes, I know it's far from perfect but Please, do not tell me  Justin Trudeau does not care about Canada! ARE you kidding me - Look at his family & look back at your own - I know because of his love for his family he cares for Canada.  
Is that not what does drive us ALL? 

Canada is HIS family & his home - LOOK at this beautiful Country -  Canadians are not leaving, tourism was the best last year it has ever been, do you understand the amount of money that brings. So - No, I'm not happy about any pipelines or political private parties at our expense but I'm not jumping fucking ship.   Ever.  & Change happens.

I believe in those I believe in & thank God, there are still many I do believe in.
You know who you are. I believe in my son & it's funny to me even - but as much as Norm and I  "Arrrrrgh!!!!"  we still have each others back, I have many Americans I feel a bond with & I KNOW you know.. (strange stuff happens) - I had a slight exchange of words with  an American pal   ;) who said "he'd rather his kid be in a room of people with guns than a room full of fat people"  I grabbed my head and sighed in frustration but I get it - I DON'T live there - I don't see it... one month (almost) in California was a different perspective I can assure you.  A reminder of the rest of the world is not doing so great in some places.  If I lived there with obesity getting out of hand and guns - you make choices based on your surroundings I'm not going to judge anyone for their choices - I don't care. AS long as WE don't KILL each other

*My condition has been so aggressive a few days this week - I cannot even pick up a phone,  Nothing touches my face, no make up, no toothbrush - even the pillow - I'm done explaining -  if YOU lived this- your opinion on a few things might change too.  
WHO are you?   WHO do you believe in?  WHOooo do you love?

I believe in me.  I believe Justin is doing what he believes is the best he can do for Canadians.
I believe in many of you.
Thank you for that. xox

 Want to see how this kitty was painted? It's on my IG account: georgia.toons

​It's the backyard bird count this weekend & it's easy & GOOD for you - go watch the birds in your backyard for at least 15 minutes.. it's proven relaxing.   It's the perfect weekend to get the kids involved- and it's FAMILY weekend - Holiday Monday! Go look at the birds and submit what you see to assist scientists in keeping track of what's going on and where.

You'll also learn how to feed, what to do to help the living situatuions of birds and other little creatures.  Birds are disappearing (as area all creatures)  but the birds & Bees are what keeps us going!  We are such egotistical creatures to think we don't need any help. 
The bluejays already visited for breakfast -thankfully, as I've been seeing fewer lately, due to the squak and cheekyness bluejays are not aften as admired  as other birds and they are  shot' at occassionally WHICH IS ILLEGAL IN CANADA and you can be charged with an offence.... not to mention 'just fucking nasty.  I feel the same way about HUNTING anything for sport'.   I thought it would be fun to do a timelapse for the birds today to bring some awareness to counting the birds!
This cat - so close he can 'taste them... cheeky birds having a conversation outside his  view.
Please keep your cats indoors or put a bell on their collar- especially with Spring here in a month - babies will be being born & they need help too.  
​
Time to go out & fill all the feeders, peanuts & count some more - it's natures meditation- Birds are also amusing.. just watch &  you'll see.

Can you guess what I'm making next? Photo below! 

If Disney grew cannabis...  this is how it would be done.
Fantasia inspired, each bud would be lovingly dusted by individual THC Fairies glistening under the moonlight as they danced until each bud was delicately doused.

Boy oh boy it's cold in Canada...  this cold effects my face to the point it is painful to eat & speak - napping is at an all time high.  DRESS WARM & PLEASE keep your pets inside too!  I understand the USA is expecting a cold spell which leads Donald to question "Global Warming,'   sigh.

Cock a Doodle Doobie Dooooooo!  Acrylic on Canvas.
Cocks in the cannabis field and POLITICAL BULLSHIT.

This painting represents a  part of the current cannabis industry. 
Run by a bunch of cocks all trying to be the head rooster in the cannabis farm - have you seen cock fights?  My painting speaks for me. 
​
Fuck I'm pissed off today - after reading about this bullshit in our community & I'm clearly NOT alone, I have lived here over 25 years and in the restaurant business socially witnessing much over the years...   all these politicians who didn't have any issues drinking at lunch meetings - FUCKING hypocrites!

I also know a few who have toked a time or FEW- SHAME ON YOU!
I read one councillor said "we already have a problem with drugs in the community" - this is fucking priceless coming from someone who sells ALCOHOL - YOU know what's a bigger problem in  Georgina >>> ALCOHOL ABUSE!  FACT.

The Mayor remarked -"legalization won't take away the drug dealer on the corner" - No it won't Margaret-  YOU deciding NOT to allow a dispensary - will for SURE KEEP THE 'ILLEGAL DRUG DEALERS ON THE FUCKING CORNER.   DO you realize the revenue we just GAVE AWAY? To AURORA I GUESS. I wonder if that has anything to do with this bullshit decision, so much for 'legalization' when people - who really should not even have any say in what WE do in our own homes as ADULTS - with a 'now LEGAL substance' - not allowing us to even buy it locally - SPEAKS volumes.

ALL the business lost. Do you seriously think people will drive elsewhere to buy their cannabis but come back home for Lunch, Dinner, a movie or to even shop?   If you do  believe it your a dope.  Nope - it won't happen - Georgina  you can kiss those dollars GOODBYE.  

Reality/statistics/facts show us  (if you don't want to think it or admit it fine..) BUT  people (minors included) WILL drive ELSEwhere to purchase cannabis & party it up elsewhere (it's what  we do - it's called human nature) and sadly some returning home will possible get into an accident -  REMEMBER this COUNCIL MEMBERS - remember this with your decision to make people drive ELSEWHERE for a legal substance.  One proven far less harmful than alcohol.

I'll fucking remind you with an email every time I read about another impaired death on Woodbine.

I've got to admit I e mailed Rob Grossi this a.m., (our former mayor) so upset.. (at least he TRIED)  & it hit me.. this battle we have fought for so many years - for our sons medicine - to educate...  to try to show how many children it helps...   why do I bother?!
I feel today I've lost this battle... I feel defeated.  
​In my own fucking home town.
That SUCKS.

Taking a break.

Tonight is the night to see the wolf BLOOD moon & I'm excited!  Anyone who claims we are not effected by the moon - is in denial.  Thinking about the plight of birds... the flight of birds who are effected by the moon & night sky  like my red breasted robin  & my hopes are birds will not disappear as soon as anticipated.  
Lets hope the planet won't disappear as soon as anticipated. 

Global warming, pipelines exploding, trees disappearing, fish dying, women still marching for rights not given, women marching to have missing women acknowledged', human sexual trafficking is at an all time high- Children are the worst victims and what do we 'see' constantly -  ignorant little pukes like this one:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/indigenous-march-student-mock-1.4985493?cmp=newsletter-news-digests-canada-and-world-morning in their  red hats covering their hate filled brains.   All this has me  thinking...  we are in trouble if this is the direction of our future.  

This past year has me convinced we should abolish  ALL MALE schools.  
Look at the pack mentality it creates,  A PACK of wild, nasty beasts who in the past year have been exposed for rape, abuse & violence -  of fellow students (each other)  & then all those around them. I can't imagine its helpful to young women- I don't have to STUDY or have research done to know the mentality & conversations being had in such environments ABOUT women in general - neither do you.   All boys schools only strengthens the "Boys will be boys mentality" - and these boys will be running the world one day?  It's frightening - especially when we see the evil that already resides. #metoo isn't going anywhere & #whosnext  & of course #timesup ! thankfully will help keep those who behave badly in check - or at least shine a new light - so we can all SEE the evil for what it is and CHANGE it.  Correct it.  Call it out!

I'll be looking for the beauty in the moon tonight as the same time I'll be praying for world peace...       I'm not alone, this I know.

'Blue Monday' tomorrow...  Grin & BEAR it!  It's just another day...

It's the year of the pig! Eat less bacon! - Done!
Eat less meat (done) - untill they can at least provide a life that does not involve cruelty & torture from birth - I know we can demand a change in this area, I believe most humans would rather NOT have animals suffer.  

Eat better anyway- geeze if there's one thing I've learned from overdosing on documentariews- WE are doing  this to OURSELVES with what we choose to consume on a daily bascis.- It's that simple people! - EAT better- more veges & nuts & fruit- it's that simple.  Our meat consumption in this house has gone from meat being with every meal - 100% to 40% - ...    look at that little pig with the Universe inside him.
After learning about American standards & practices in the meat industry & about the ag-gag rule...  & I honestly do not believe they care about Americans health, I prefer farm raised, free roaming happy animals who have had some quality of life.

Some people "hate documentaries", why remain in the dark, remain in denial - it's easier? Watch ROOT cause. We have been arguing about this for decades! I do not agree with root canals. Please watch,  the more you know- you can avoid a lot of hassle - or at least you have a starting point from which to - START.  It really does make too much sense... & then you have TRUMP  he's another breed of PIG all together.  Americans (& Canadians) have current serious obesity problems - what does he serve a bunch of athletes  at the oval office?...   JUNK FOOD.
Bravo DONALD you've done it again - what clear messages you send out.  

What does you Piggy Horoscope tell for the coming year?
Mine is all good but I already knew that...  I feel it. 
It feels like love, happiness & success.

Below.. sneak PeeP of my next canvas... wip.

Trying to expand my knowledge on a daily basis..  just because we don't go to school doesn't mean we shouldn't learn something new!  After learning about the egg of life this chicken  appeared - lol.
  
I think it's a reminder that I have a canvas of big birds waiting to be finished - on the agenda for today!  I have a new favourite beverage - Chaga coffee (I call it, because I like it brewed that dark) with 1/2 a lime & a big dose of honey! I find it rather energizing & love the smell of the lime in the morning. Wake it all up! 

After learning Sacred Geometry - I know the egg came before the chicken. 
Did you know ALL eggs start the exact same? ALL....   like this:

ALL.      Therefore - we are all the same,  all connected.        ^ PROOF. 
Be Nice to each other... we all start the same as a tiny egg.
​
I love my girls.. they are the best art critics and lap warmers.
It's the year of the pig... next.   Such a sweet little pink pig.. wait & see.

I have delt with serious depression my entire life, I understand why, NOW. While painting this time lapse and watching a documentary -Bio on Timothy Leary I thought of an article I read yesterday and it hit me... since at least the late 60's Scientists in Canada & the USA knew about Psilocybin & how it appeared to be 'helping; with such issues as addition & depression - it's WELL documented & tried by some of the greatest minds on the planet (some of the earliest research done right in Sask. Canada)  & here have we been poisoned by the pharmaceutical industry our entire lives, not even given the opportunity to choose what might be best for our own bodies..    
How fucked up is that? Any of you, think for a second about this. 

The article is about assisted death in Canada and how we might consider making changes to include minors & suicidal/mentally ill - & it hit me like a fucking ton of PROZAC (Prozac - successfully sued for, causing suicidal thoughts & more serious side effects) WHY are we FORCED to consider legal assisted death in this country before being allowed to explore other  NON lethal OPTIONS!?  Look at what's happening with opiates. WHY ARE medicinal mushrooms- AGAIN, never responsible for one documented *death ** NOT offered as a option? I now understand why I have medical issues' - how else would I have understood what  these plants can do..  I  am grateful to them & God for the introduction & everyone who is educating in the past & currently. EXPAND your mind & look up something new or sit & sitcom... the choice is ours.

I have been there, with this TN  I have days you have no idea... but I'm not there NOW - I'm painting, playing with my dogs, catching Doves sent by God!! I had just sent my son  a message telling him I was going back to bed.. awake at 3:33 (Alexa) I had a headache & am tired from a flare in psoriasis, this past year it has gotten out of control (more soon so you can be aware & stay on top of it if you see the signs) & I walked into the kitchen with my empty cup and this beautiful bird was staring at me from 'inside' my enclosed deck! I was worried she was hurt- so I went to get her and she was so calm (just like that bluejay) I think I shall call myself a 'Bird whisperer! Hee hee         ;)    Photo below - it was a moment, a gift from God. I didn't go to back bed I painted this mushroom instead & had a realization.

We ALL deserve a chance at TRUE happiness - some of us struggle- we don't even know why  R E S E A R C H for yourself (especially if you have a child or someone you believe to be suicidal & not having success with conventional medication) - I guarantee you  you will learn Psilocybin MUSHROOMS help for depression & serious illness.  
WTF!?  WHY is this NOT a legal option available - our young are taking their own lives... if we are prescribed medications that  have serious side effects & known to harm/kill - why not this safer option? WHY not first? I'll give you one guess.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ you can grow your own$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
If you believe in God as you say you do than believe God has provided US with food & medicine.  Don't believe me - ​research & prove me wrong. 

WHY are we NOT permitted to legally  have this option - anyone suffering from pain - trigeminal neuralgia? Chronic arthritis? Severe skin conditions- God has assured me to grin and bear it & has provided pain relief with natural medicine & then sent a little bird to cheer me up. ;) Bird was not impressed - I took it outside after making sure it's wings & legs were fine it sat on my shoulder ! Haha - I must say I felt 'special' out in my backyard in my bathrobe with it on my shoulder... I took it back in checked it's feet & then tried again -lol  and it flew up into a tree & sat staring at me.  Fucking awesome! Made my day!
 I'm happy to be  alive even IF I'm really angry at our medical system right now. Again.  
To see a time-lapse of this mushroom you have to follow on IG (which is set on privacy again - It's how I deal with stress' I guess... - if you don't like it - don't follow) 

Next a lesson in Fuckery ' - really.

Todays word was Abominable.  
My example:
In 2018 people around the world witnessed abominable behaviour displayed by a 'world leader' (who shall remain nameless) yet, as terrible as it has been to watch unfold his  actions have awakened a nation to the ugliness that surround him & it does appear it is forcing  many to wake up,  stand up,  SPEAK up - even if the rest of the world doesn't believe you. 

I sometimes take a break from paper and canvas & paint objects.. when I spied this bear bottle opener I bought it just so I could add my own touch to it & now it is a one of a kind -kinda. Hee hee.   It's still not complete as he needs to attached to my cottage wall - on my list of goals in 2019 - lol   It's good to have goals!  Dream, hopes, desires, wishes - whatever you choose to call them - it's good to have something to aspire to. 

I aspire to have a better vocabulary, spelling & grammar every time I sit here, when I see how bad it gets at times  (understandingly) it helps ME realize  'who knows why we behave as we do, do we even know when we are not feeling well?  There are days I'm amazed at myself and wonder - how have you made it though this day?  I remember the surgeon in a documentary who became ill and starting literally writing on walls in a hotel room DUE TO a bad knee implant he received  (WTF -FDA) - that is how he knew he was sick- he was behaving unlike his normal' self.    It reminds me to be more patient of others & myself.

Another day survived By the grace of God & my homeboy  ;D Jesus (who has the best sense of humour if you'll only listen) & a few other of you beings who just the sight of your face/email/#  brings me a spark to keep this candle lit.   :)  Someone commented (on my Trump MAGA cap painting) - this is about love #MakeAmericathinkagain and I was overwhelmed:  Exactly, She GOT ME!  lol   It IS about love and yes that's what I was hoping for. Thank you.  If there is one thing I have learned.. not everyone 'gets me'.  My homeboy gets me, my dogs get me... so I'm good.  

I also paint, constantly so I do not allow myself to get caught up in self pity or pain or other peoples problems. I think this is a good habit to have. Some days are easier than others... God has assured me I will grin & bear it & become a better, stronger, happier, wealthier  MamaBear at the end of the day because I did.  I don't mean 'Storm's Mamabear' - I mean MamaBear for children, dogs, women, men, animals, Cannabis & Canada! Whom ever my attention is drawn to (I am provided direction no doubts) it's my job on this planet even if it's just one person who gets it.   While painting I KNEW 'some will never get it...'   that's not my journey to worry about.

I also painted a little bird -now I have a robin tealight holder - just what I always wanted! 
Personalize something, try a new canvas! I was beyond thrilled on new Years Eve when our son surprised us by arriving at 11:00 p.m with no alcohol in him,  home to celebrate bringing in the new year with whom he loves the most  & take his dog9s) for a walk... It was a secret proud moment in my mind I cannot lie. I painted the bear while chatted , so it looks "ferocious" but it too was painted with pots of love on a wonderful January the 1st.
