Halloween 2020 - the fact that it is even considered is just..  fucking stupid.
REALLY?  Talk to your children & explain...  a human life is worth more than candy.
It's ALL about $.  Money or humans. 
Candy & costumes have to sell!  Trick or Treat!

It's proven after each holiday & celebration, like Mother's day, the long weekends and soon ThanksGiving... two weeks later more are sick and some die. Because WE can not stop socializing for a few weeks.  The 'Brass Rail '- a famous strip club in Toronto infected over 50 (I can't rememeber details, I just shook my head sort of thing..) how many women do you think got it- besides the strippers?   I wonder if they want to be there, I doubt it.
If, as all things  - men are run/influenced by their penis... if this is an indication of covids future - 'were all fucked',  with or without a penis.

Holidays, hormones & halloween - can kill this 2020 - is Halloween worth it?
Perhaps it's a time to really discuss these 'Holidays' and what they represent.
There ARE countless halloween crafts on one - many books and endless internet ideas.
If a parent wants to celebrate halloween - I'm sure it can be accomplished safely without the actual Trick or Treating.

To take a child out to get candy IS  selfish & risking the lives of others... for what?
I don't think many pumpkins will be lit- not as many doors will be answered... regardless how cute these little beings are (especially in cute little costumes)
NOW is NOT the time.

It's Friday & I just read Trump has COVID & due to his obesity and other health issues - he might not do so well...  
Is there a feeling of celebration in the air?

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.

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.

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?

2020.. wow.
I need a break - how about you?
I'm taking a break. 
I think I'll take Septemeber & October off.

I got a message this morning from a long time internet friend. We met on Facebook overt 10 years ago...  one of those special social media friends who you actually become friends' with. We've exchanged gifts', letters.. life, for over 10 years.  
Toti said "hi.. how's it going George?"  to me, more often than REAL life friends.
Real friends can be Douchebags.  
Really, I'm so tired of alwasy being the friend who initiates  contact.
I'm done with that.  

                  People who can't take a moment to respond to you...
                                   are showing you their response.

I watched her run marathons and volunteer for cancer research, long before she was diagnosed.  I got to know her 'handsome hubby' as I've called him the last 10 years, he made me a gift too. They thought about me.  I thought about them.. think about them. Invited them to see this beautiful country a couple of years ago but you know life keeps us busy.  I know they are kind, Mexican American (I've drooled over their cooking for a decade ;)) we've never met... but we were all hoping to take our friendship to the next level. 
We were startng to plan.

This won't be happening... she's been given 6 months.
Watching her struggle, watching cancer grow from the inside out.. I hope she has 6 months. 
I do know she is surrounded by friends and family who love her very much. Real people.
She sent me a message to tell me:  she loves me.

Fuck covid, fuck cancer.. fuck nasty for no reason, people.
Fuck complaining about stupid stuff.
Fuck mind games.. who needs people in our lives when they show you they don't have any consideration for you. Move on.

Fuck mental health Mondays... 

God sends us friends from all around the world, on different levels, each is a blessing.
                  ANY friend that takes the time to think about you, is a blessing.  
Anyone who cares enough to be your friend, in these selfish covid confusing times - is a gift.

I'm mentally exhausted,  acknowledge it and need to paint & turn all else off.. out.
I DO have several projects and a commission on the go- lots to keep my mind & hands inspired.   Time to focus on my furry family,  fall and painting.
I know it's important to my OWN health.  

​I LOVE fall - when God picks up the paintbrush to blow us all away & remind us who the ARTIST is.

I look at my goats and wonder what they are saying to themselves & the chickens...

This cartoons was inspired by my neighbour.   My neighbour told me I have a "bitter soul."  This coming from someone who literally spent 2 minutes speaking to me (ever)... I  LAUGHED OUT LOUD!  Someone could have informend me I moved beside the Messiah - I would get out of my PJs more!!  I'm pretty sure soul judgement is reserved for Jesus & God... and My neighbour.  Phhhhhbbbbbbbt.   Wow.  

Remember that Road I dont' own and have no say in?  As I was abruptly educated by my other neighbour "I own this road! I dont have to tell you fuck all!" (that neighbour) - no consideration what so ever, no contact - written or verbal... AND NOW  I'm now expected to pay approximately $900. for rocks with a side of verbal abuse.
Aren't they special.  

I've never had such neighbourly neighbours,  thank God.  
Obviously, by their own actions,  I'm not worthy of time or consideration.
So.. the journey continues...  I walk with God, (& my homeboy) so I'm always up for adventure!  Yay!!   I wasn't  put here to be belittled or bullied.  

I did paint all day tho and painted one of my best yet! I was so excited- I feel I reached a new plateau- alwasy gratifying for an artist! I am deffinately a better artist (and person) than I was yesterday... I for sure didn't judge anyones soul.. over ROCKS.

Come see my "Don't be a Cheeky Monkey!" tomorrow.

Another Holiday Monday! It's raining and there no such thing as a holiday on a farm - lol 
What an education this all is, this tiny farm.  Life.  Up with the roosters - no sleeping in with feathers & fur relying on you.  Keeping busy is good for the sole & mind & body.  I'm always stiff in the morning - with age let alone arthritis... not until Im up and active & loosen it all us does the pain of stiffness subside.  Use it or lose it!  
Farmers deserve more respect than they are given, feeding humans - is lots of work.
​I do NOT consider us farmers'  -  this is a hobby.
I'm learning to pickle eggs! I give eggs away too.. chances are they have faces on them.  

I can't imagine  drinking to the point of a hang over and having to deal with animals... they don't care if humans are hung over.  I hate hang overs so much I am grateful for  having experienced some "doozies"  in the past.. lessons learned - it took a while. 
I just won't anymore. It's not worth destroying braincells for a "feel good"... is it feel good?   Compared to cannabis  the more I think of it- the less I think alcohol makes anyone "feel good".  Sure it relaxes the body and mind - too much sometimes.    
It's sad when you understand,  Alcohol is the number one date rape DRUG. 
Think about it for a moment.   

Some drink to forget.  I use to use that escuse myself, a few times.  Ha.
It might make you forget for a bit, until it makes you wallow & get stuck in exactly what you were trying to forget about.  I remember my mom crying a lot drunk, aways talking about the same stuff.  Her past pains passed on to me during drunken stupors - because I was there to listen.  Told so many times and then left to ponder, I bet my mom has no clue as how much I remember of the details... coats, bundle buggies, curtains being closed, sibling rivalry  (I was not raised with my siblings so I don't know about it) all on how she suffered.  Who cares.
 That's part of the problem.. not many do care. Then or now.  I get it.  I think Melania was kinda right. GASP - yuk but... yep.   Not many really care.  They are distracted with their own lives.  AS life intended. Throw in Covid... big distraction going on.

The only thing anyone should care about NOW is breaking the cycle.
​RECOGNIZE & don't repeat what YOU did not enjoy as a child/adolescent.  How about that?  It's a holiday!
​Does that mean you're going to get 'shit faced'  (term for getting drunk)?
Sure go ahead! IF YOU don't have kids you are responsible for. 
They don't need to listen to your past pains  I think as parents we should be trying to make their path easier - even if it means sharing not pleasant topics by talking, educating (not impaired)  the more the tiny humans know the better they will be.  They are smarter than most realize. Id rather a child be taught early about "molestation" than to learn by having it happen - because they did not know - to say "NO!"  

? Tuff call.
Tomorrow is a tuff call for many parents... back to school  during covid - as it slowly creeps back up.  Pray for strength to get through, because life has to go on. 

The hamster was my 16th birthday gift, my friends wanted to take me out for my sweet 16th I was told "NO, come right home, we are celebrating"                YAAAY!
I spent the evening alone, no special dinner, no cake.  I was waken up around 2:00a.m. and given my birthday gift...  which I loved.  I guess she got side tracked. I was use to it.
Teddy died a couple of YEARS later while eating a McDonalds french fry, he was so old and arthritic he could hardly walk.  He was a wonderful, adorable pet & tiny companion.

With THC & TLC     I hope you have an alcohol free holiday!
Break the cycle. Life is not all cracked up as were led to believe.. hee hee- egg jokes.
Oh-  My chickens count how many eggs they lay!   They are mathemachickens.    
 lol Heard it on the radio, canoe.
