Oh, bother...   Oh pooh...  Phhhbt - Oh Fuck.
During covid times - Pooh would be saying "Oh, Fuck."  What next 2020? What more?
It was fun painting Pooh - put me in mind to paint 'Tigger- soon. 

Another black man shot in broad daylight in front of his kids - riots, fires- no kidding.  
I'm sick of it. The people will do what needs to be done until this BULLSHIT is stopped. 
How can anyone be o.k. with this?  If police are so frightened they shoot someone in the back - 6- 7 times? They should not be police.  

I painted my clay & it turned out better than anticipated- I think I'll turn it into some sort of wind chime..  Norm had extra cement - yay! I made a new craft- to paint today- garden art, easy peasy..  cement, tiny containers & sticks.   Another glorious day today! Get outside - winter is on the way- we sure felt it this morning- brrr... the Fire is going!   lol - as if I need an excuse to have a fire in this  red wood stove!  It's national doggy day - I'll celebrate by exploring the woods with my girls!!!

Cockadoodle doooo!  I was up before the roster.  
Yesterday, as I do everyday- I get distracted by - nature.  I was in the middle of painting Pooh when the next thing I know I had a hand full of herbs and a bag of clay in my hands. LOL   So far so good!  My newest creation then sat in the sun as I continued to garden. I was so excited to start painting, I was up before the rooster & Norm. I'll finish Pooh today for tomorrow.

I can't believe what we've accomplished this summer.   Thank you Norm & Storm, even though his visiits are 'few' they are more meaningful & work full. He never stops working anyhow so.. hee hee hee. Workin is good. We all agree.  For one, look at what you achieve.  During covid even! Have you thought:  'if not for covid..."  for example.. my house is clean.
I could welcome company and not have to wonder where to hide the stuff. 
I shaved my head.  I appreciate my art supplies! I realized, of course I have time to train a puppy!  I appreciate everything & everyone, more. Yay Covid.  
It would be nice if we could all have realized these many lessons without the sickness & death.  The planet is healthier  for a bit...

I don't understand why we are still busting cannabis grows...   why?
                  I do understand human trafficking.   
                    I do understand we have a serious missing women problem.
                      I do understand people are dying from opiates - still, daily.
                        I do understand poverty exists in Canada.

Look at this glorious morning I woke up to today:

Are you awake? Food? Water? 
Amen.

Who doesn't love playing with clay!?   I have to wait until it's a 'good hands' day, so that I can work with the clay easily- this task was not too difficult.  These mushrooms also have a function- an a natural air freshner.  The air dry clay is poreous so it holds the essential oil drops I add to it.  Lemon for my office - cinnamon for the kitchen.  Only once side is fully painted and not clear coated - the other side designed to hold the oil.  It would also make a neat car air freshner.   Next I'm going to try to make an bear insence holder.  
The lemon keeps the mosquitos away I feel - and makes the house smell fresh. 

Yesterday we went to meet out new daughter! New DOG-aughter.  She is 3 weeks old and adorable if I do say so- her eyes just open and mom kept a close eye on our short visit.  We will be bringing her home next month & we can't wait!!  On Storms Birthday! Double celebration.. maybe I'll call her Stormy. hee hee  A new baby, how exciting.  
This baby will be a working dog & trained for security as well as for watching the farm family.  & thats it (lol) I've wanted  3 dogs in this lifetime - a great dane, did that 2! A Chihuahua - Poppy has been the best little 'Chi' ever.. and a German shepherd - which I had as a child for a very short time.  So - again... dreams come true. 

I'm not sure what to call my girl and yes, MY girl!  I'm already training these girls to not go past the gate & keep and eye on the chickens.  They bark when they see someone at the gate- good - as they should & Scruffy - now deaf- barks when ever she feels like it & I let her, I'm don't have to yell at her, surrounded by trees - she can bark -it makes her happy.  Sometimes they all chime in and then I tell them knock it off. lol  I can't remember being as  happy, making it difficult some days when I see others saying this has been the worst year ever- covid aside it's been the best - ever  for us.  I look forward to every day.

Time to paint! I'm so pleased with my current painting for a client - it's hard to stay our of my studio- Norm spied it and insists we make one for us too'  lol Like it's that easy.
 
Have fun if you make a clay air freshener - have fun what ever you do this hump day!

Next a goat - a float.  lol
