How do I feel about Doug Fords BUCK -A- BEER...      like this:
          https://globalnews.ca/news/4380647/buck-a-beer-health-impacts/

As for Cannabis in Canada -  politicians tout  "concerns for the children!"
Yet currently Doug Ford discusses and promotes 'buck a beer'...  
Perhaps they are NOT AWARE of the actual facts regarding alcohol, the statistics. the numbers...   Perhaps.

Will it take off - I doubt it.   https://www.narcity.com/ca/on/toronto/news/doug-fords-buck-a-beer-plan-is-already-backfiring-and-heres-how      Talk about messed  up priorities..
A friend remarked last Holiday Monday in Ontario - how she could not take a child to get a book from the library - but the beer Store was open.  Yee Haw.  Cheers.

I picked up  a jean shirt yesterday, took one look and thought - THIS needs paint.
What better way to educate that with some fun art- wearable art.  Not sure what to paint- I did what comes Naturally'... cannabis butterflies and even a fox!   & NOW I have a NEW shirt - I love! I can't wait to wear it out- the paint hardly dry before I had it on for these photos.  Why NOT!? Sometimes I forget I can do these things.. lol as I searched for a new shirt on line yesterday to wear to the Lift Expo. hee hee  
Some people will look and see Cannabis right away- others will simply see a fox in the garden!  If asked I will be happy to explain & educate on this plant.

I had so much fun painting this I started a cute pair of jean overalls too. I live in overalls for the summer, perfect for painting & gardening.  Over the years I've painted many clothing items- hats, shoes, shirts, t's... my favourite a white leather jacket with a 'Japanese warrior"  on the back - I still know who has it- I asked for it back because I know they'll never wear it.. nor do they communicate with me  but  the request was ignored. Some People don't want to communicate with you but they keep YOUR ART... speaks volumes.
I hope she reads this and mails it to me. It would be appreciated.

Thankfully I have the talent, desire to create another! I'm going to search for a used leather jacket I like at a secondhand store - there its a great one in Newmarket:
                                     https://www.platosclosetnewmarket.com
                 Especially if I'm only going to paint it- reuse, recycle, re- love.

So- I have decided- would you like a custom painted cannabis shirt?  I will paint  a couple! Different butterflies, creatures.. who knows and will sell them. It is a ONE of a kind wearable art! Be noticed & educate at the same time! If interested send me a e mail - well talk SIZE, butterfly colors, critter suggestions and $PRICE.
* Yesterday I had a "conversation' with someone re the price of my art- let me clarify for altho might be confused:
I do NOT work for FREE.
Yes, I often send people FREE art- that is my choice of whom and what.
I have worked very hard at my craft the last 10 years PLUS.
I charge MORE that minimum wage...  If I spend 5 hours on art - and some people don't even think it's worth minimum wage - my time - THAT is your problem, your confusion... keep moving. I KNOW what my art is worth, if you disagree - don't buy anything - BUT who are YOU to tell me what I should charge for MY work?  The IRONY - I was giving this person  a deal with my price.. after his remarks-  FUCK that, my price just increased by $100. & I hope ALL artists READING this now learn NOW.. I'm tired of  changing my prices- for those who do not know the worth of a piece of art- I know people  who won't spend $100 on art but will have NO problem DRINKING that much at a bar in a couple of hours.  

IF you like the art- pay the artist or don't... but how dare anyone tell you what they think YOUR worth is. IF they do - tell them to keep moving...

I'll also avoid any confusion regarding these shirts- A *NEW (purchase by me)  ONE OF A KIND shirt- your size.. painted on the front with cannabis & butterflies and a critter - will cost you $75.00.
$125 for FRONT and back  cannabis creation!  I'll take a couple  of orders while I feel like it- so you should hurry if you want  it to wear NOW! ;)  Each order will take 3-4 weeks for delivery.  georgiatoons@rogers.com  to order & if you have any questions.
I'm so excited I've got to go finish the overalls!!  Have a creative DAY

Happy Mothers Day!
This lovely bud was provided by my son.  
A Mothers day to celebrate for sure!
He was the best gift from God I will ever receive.

Soon more will become educated about this plant ending the stigma.
& Yes! Woo Hoo recreational - with that more medicinal  will naturally occur.

By the way.. I never encourage impaired driving, if you are NOT familiar with cannabis or how it behaves with your body & mind- please  be responsible when you drive * or get in a vehicle with someone who is responsible. - try it the first few times in a situation where you do not have to drive.  Please do not drink alcohol & smoke cannabis and drive.
Cannabis will be blamed.  It will be anyhow.

Please do not drink & drive.
​
While Im' at it- do not text & drive EVER - and do not drive with your dogs on your laps! That was in case anyone forgot I was a mom.. lol 

Another girlfriend in the garden...  I have a third started as well, she is more voluptuous.
Do what you love.

April 2nd and today I'm thinking ahead- June as a matter of fact.
In my search to own the perfect mushroom calendar (and not finding one) I have created one! 2019 will be a year for Magnificent Mushrooms!  
As you are aware - I love mushrooms  - eat, medicate and research!
& I happen to 'love' the current Foray Director of the MST .. hee hee hee  
It was when we started to attend Forays began my Amour Adventure'  (practicing for France) with fungi seeing the living bodies - all different, colorful, alien in appearance, frightening when understand a tiny nibble of one type can kill you  yet the thought of the enoki in my fridge frying has me drooling..  I flip through my sons magazines and books and   easily become fascinated - Have you seen Blood Tooth Fungi?  I can guarantee you if walking in the woods and you spied it out of the corner of your eye- you would walk over and bend down and think "Is that alive? Is that dead?  Is that Blood? Is it alien!?"  lol
If you had no clue that it was just  one of the countless captivating samples of mushroom strangeness' out there, that is.

Then I realized... I Love painting mushroom (almost as much as cannanbis) and just LOOKING at them, to paint you have to study - the more I study the more I want to see - taaaaadaaaaa  my calendar is being created.  :)  I have shown very few, but it is a definite hit!  Each illustration has taken me 2 days for not very large originals.  First, I  choose the month (face down) the mushroom found me...   : )   Set up each page and I really weighed IF I should use 'type font or paint the actually Month and numbers - Freehand was the final decision.. 

None of us is perfect - yet each one was created perfect in Gods  Endless Universe!
My numbers are  perfect -  as they are only enhanced by the nature of their surroundings.

:) Thank you, Fungi Friends.
I woke today and could not wait to sit here.. after bird duty *please WELCOME back some of our Feathered Friends!  I have chosen the name for the calendar-  presented when complete... still a few steps, printing, packaging  & off they go.  200.
One on my wall in my office, Storm has asked ordered one - 199, 198, 197...

If you are interested- I highly recommend you stay tooned, I'm working and several different projects and will share them here when ready.
I can't wait to finish JUNE! Storm took one look this a.m. and went:  
"Whhaaaaattt?! Your adding one of them? Wow...." 
:) I love the Foray Director.  hee hee hee

BYT- I cheated with decorating the cake (below) - much my amusement it made everyone laugh and He really looked  cute.  The message he was sending was  "I love you, This Much!"
Is there any other message needed?

Happy Easter Monday, just thinking about Jesus calms my  heart & mind.
He restores my soul.

It's Easter weekend and there lots to do.. actually  - it's all done!  Easter bunnies have been made & decorated! I have company coming and they go home with a gift - homemade! Poppy is testing them out and they passed - no wobble - isn't she fricken the cutest!!?
Sat there until I lifted her out now on my lap as I type - Norms in the kitchen making sliders, Storms rolling some medicine to enjoy during a movie later with dinner- it's peaceful & I'm grateful.  The house is clean, I've got a painting on my desk and tomorrow there will be Easter dinner  at the table!   Nothing too fancy.. Simple but good.

Storm and I hung out in the kitchen while he made 'picked chips'- noting the one in particular was a 'nuclear warning- I hope not- life right now is good.. spring is around the corner - I'm working on a few projects which I am very excited about, everyone is busy and I can't help but feel - still- Life is only going to get BETTER.     F*ck Trump.  
Finally...

I apoligoze for not showing you my current project - but it's a work in progress  and will be AVAILABLE in a month or so to purchase.   I want to take this opportunity today 'Thank you.  Weekly, I am asked about my art and purchasing prints or originals which is business & business is daunting - so I rarely sell or do anything about it- but some of you have become pretty persistent as of late -  so I did it!  I've got some things being printed in small numbers - limited editions.  
Once gone - gone. No re print..  it will be on to a different project.
ONE is  already planned for the next 3 years!  

On a side note- I'm still dreaming about France- lol - Literally - and I don't know what it's about  but this a.m., I was dreaming about a romance in France and I was with ... (LOL) Dan - Oh, my gosh I'm cracking up- Storm also had a good laugh.. I guess because I researched him bit recently- In my dreams I was with that  20th century cave man.  Yes, in my dreams- I doubt very much in real life -  either of us would think it was more a nightmare. It did cause me laughter first thing this morning and it's a great way to start the day - laughing at myself.

 Well- there still a tiny bit to do and always painting to be done..  
Have a Great Easter! What will you create?

 I'm full blown Easter mindset - Spring excitement? Possibly.
This was very enjoyable to paint, incredibly relaxing, each tiny brushstroke representing a word in a prayer.   It took 2 days. 
The wise bunny paints the realistic universe on each egg as the imagined 'painted sky' swirls above.  Covered with tiny dots of gold detail this bunny sparkles  above my desk at least until Easter has passed.  Now I've got 'chicks' on my mind.

Merry Christmas!  It's been a wonderful morning, everyone opened their gifts and Daisy promptly destroyed hers... Poppy  & Scruffy both got new blankets to snuggle in.  My favourite gifts this year - The Original painting by a young talented artist friend, which is in the wall unit but will be on my desk after the holidays, my son gave me the 'Key to Bird Kingdom', we talked about going but keep forgetting- now, I have 'the key' & my beautiful bird daytimer to remind us,    ;)    

The birds have been fed- indoors & out- and to thank us we've already seen two vibrant red cardinals and a wood pecker &  screeching "EEEEEEeee - thanks' from our 11 bluejays for the peanut breakfast this Christmas  Morning!  

I thought of many people last night, it was a quiet Christmas eve.. my thought for everyone were all Positive, even to those I've not communicated with.  Christmas, thinking about Jesus, I do every day but today is especially important - even tho- did you know they do not think 'today' was the actual birthdate of Jesus & the Bible does not give a specific date or even month - as a matter of fact there are indications it might have been slightly warmer- either way I do associate Christmas with Jesus.  

If there is anything I continue to learn - we never know why some people behave as they do- but if you dig deep enough it usually stems from fear or being hurt themselves, it helps me forgive faster.. Forgive yes - at the same point I go into the new year with the attitude-  I have forgiven, not forgetting (once bitten, twice shy)  & I'll be sharing.   Not forgetting will ensure I keep moving forward, the forgiving is awesome- know why- the sooner you do it- and mean it- and I do (it's easier than You think)  you can continue to focus on what matters in your life and life your purpose!  I guarantee you - suddenly even thought of  those people will disappear.. & you will continue to advance. Forgive this holiday- you don't need to do it outloud.. whisper it in your mind  & let it go.  It is the best gift to give yourself & others.

Later this week...  if you want to donate your money - how about to those who REALLY need it  &  Bible thumping  & Thrill kills..  but for now- the bird is in the oven, it might be my last turkey - my days of eating animals are over I feel, the desire & enjoyment is there less & less and healthier option are easier & easier with the help of PIN.   I realized I'm out feeding all these birds and there is a big bird in my oven.  I'd be terribly upset if someone ate 'Bird. This is Birds second Christmas, he is pleased with his seed bell & sweet potato.

Have a Wonderful time today! If you're not into the socializing- or hungover (many are today) just sit back, chill & enjoy the lovely sunshine & snow. Until Next year Santa- my Christmas paintings for 2017 are OVER.  

Merry Christmas 
Georgia& Family - 2 legs & four.

There are a few  recipes I can make  from heart.. not many  but my favourite meals, usually  nothing too fancy more - comfort food.  We all know how to make a few things and Tis the season to be baking- throw a few simple ingredients together and you'll have cookie in no time & there are several interesting vegan cookie recipes on PIN I'm noticing.  I'm tempted to try.. as I enjoy a delicious gingerbread cookie  from   'Cookie it Up ' a local - Aurora, cookie company - they are delicious. 

There are dangers that come with every holiday but ever prevalent at Christmas -
Impaired Driving is at the top of the list.  How many have said "I know my limit" or I'm o.k. to drive when others can clearly see you are not.  It is common, it happens.  
It's not worth the 'chance" .. even if you are careful  unfortunately the odds of impaired drivers are greater during the Holiday season.  Cheers.  ANYthing that impaired you when you operate a vehicle is not wise. IF you are not use to the effects of *cannabis I don't recommend it- please, make no mistake - I don't recommend driving with any distractions and the worst one is the PHONE.  There are many.. food ( multi tasking), passengers, surroundings - it's endless. I am aware there are others who do use cannabis as the medicine and will have it in their systems - especially people who suffer with chronic pain and would be if not using cannabis a prescribed Opiate for pain- how will they justify one and not the other? If I sit of too long I feel pain. I must medicate on long drives- just as I would be with pills if not using cannabis.  These laws have to be justifiable.

Please do not be impaired when driving at any time if you can help it..  There are already extra distractions like SNOW *** and Holiday decorations, Christmas trees and people dressed like elves walking their reindeer dogs.  
This sentiment carries well into the new year. Are you excited? 
 
A new year is always interesting.
I hope everyone has a safe & happy holiday -we've have had a great past week..
We've socialize more in a week than I do most months! lol  I've put on some weight I think!  ;) The snow is here... it's almost Christmas day!   I'll resume with other thoughts after a couple of days off - painting. I think I'll paint Jesus for Christmas. ;)

Seasons Greetings!!

Ho Ho HomeGrown!  Santa had a little 'test drive' to Canada to prepare for his long night of working.  Imagine, this time next year it will be LEGAL in Canada to  consume cannabis! 
Ho Ho Ho!!  Tempted to call one friend in particular and ask 'Remember when you remarked: "I was dreaming, IF I thought Cannabis would become legal in OUR LIFETIME!"   I'm dreaming to think I'll ever hear her apologize.
I know it & she knows it.  That is enough.

Dreamer I am!!  I believe in miracles, dreams and signs!  
Other than the GREED we are witnessing  from our own ONTARIO government-  Kathleen Wynn  does appear not care about Ontarian's - it is obvious to EVERYONE she cares about $$$.  She is bleeding us dry.  Hydro, taxes and not legalization -  glorified prohibition - is more like it. GREED especially obvious when Ontario is NOT willing to allow for privately owned dispensaries. Alberta appears IMO to be doing the best job at the moment for all with the exception of  no allowance for vaporizers in hospitals. Which will be contested sooner or later and the patient will win. I for one would ONLY  consider brain surgery again if that were my option after recovery - I KNOW from experience the other traditional prescribed medications did NOT work for me  & is proven on my hospital records and only added stress after my surgery.  I would demand and get legal representation if need be regarding the matter this time & I'm not a 'fan of sueing' unlike some who appear to make it a profession.  *We all pay when we waste time with some issues.

I sent an e mail to our own Mayor of Georgina  she has replied (& I thank her):

Hi Georgina, I have not made any comments regarding the issue of dispensaries in Georgina, other mayors and Council’s have taken a position on the issue but not here in Georgina.   We have been waiting for the Federal and Provincial governments to provide more information to us at the municipal level, and we will have a report coming to our Council in the new year.  Do I have concerns, yes, there are so many unknowns at this point, which I hope we will have answers to in the report to council.

& now .. just a few Points to ponder if NOT permitted a dispensary:

As adults, paying taxes, responsible hard working- we will be forced to DRIVE elsewhere (so much for being concerned with impaired driving) - to purchase a legal drug- which has been PROVEN (many times over) to be less harmful than ALCOHOL - of which we can easily purchase several places.  Including online via the postal service.
Is this not the same as telling us  "We can't be trusted to behave like responsible adults and come to our own decisions? It is STILL PROHIBITION and we have no choice. 

What about the INCOME we will be losing as a community? 
Instead of 'promoting small local business' - which already SUCKS in Georgina- (can someone PLEASE open a decent bakery in Keswick?)  we would be promoting 'GO shop in Newmarket, Barrie or even Toronto  and while you're there.. we all know how it works- you'll also get lunch, drinks and pick up a few other goodies you need. ALL money that could have been spent in KESWICK for example. In your own home town.

How about jobs?  I know people in the business - no kidding. I KNOW the jobs this business will create- if we stall- we will be losing opportunities and losing business FACT - it will ONLY be a matter of time anyway. READ the news - it's not fake numbers $$$ have you read how much some have already made? Phhhhhbt...  
​Employees, advertising dollars (local) promotional events, like all businesses the opportunities just starting can be limitless! Rent- revenue giving back to the local communities. Surrounding businesses will benefit instead of sitting beside an empty unit.

Without reading I've no doubts they will claim it's for the safety of our children. BULLSHIT. Nothing is going to stop kids who want to try cannabis - it never HAS for centuries - this is fear mongering.  I'd like to ask Margaret to consider what she'd be more comfortable with: a kid sitting down with a  bottle of Jack Daniels or a Joint, because  I'm not comfortable with either myself- but I am aware -  by removing one of these choices we encourage the other. The first  Gateway DRUG for far too many is ALCOHOL & It's deadly.  It's just as easy a drive/bus trip  to newmarket when no options are available - WE ARE FORCED to continue to use the black market - Georgina will still be buying corner drugs illegally- because it will be easier.

Georgina residents - if you believe in cannabis or not, if you will use it or not -  it is an opportunity for business, growth and it is obvious to even our own government expected to rake in $400 million they expect in taxes - .. it should be OBVIOUS to any small community - it's gong to be big business.  It will help in keeping out street dealers if there is an option to go an buy clean, safe, affordable  "recreational" medicine. 
It will forever be MEDICINE in my mind. Thank God.

You can reach our Mayor and share your own opinion (please do it respectfully.. I called  'that' politician a "Coward." in a facebook message-  he responded - more on it soon)  I think it's only fair we get to express how we feel .. after all - we pay their salary.   I thinks Margaret is doing a thoughtful job so far for the GOOD of all Georgia... not just me, Georgia.  lol
​I do miss seeing Robs smiling face.

Everyone in every community should be permitted to weight in on these issues which effect where we live.

*WE ALL suffer  while valuable time, resources, police, great minds minds are prevented from solving true violent crimes & murders like mising WOMEN for one example...
Child trafficking for 2, robbery, physical abuse charges, sexual assault, VIOLENT crimes where  humans/animalws are actually getting hurt instead of this time wasting, distraction called cannabis.

Does everyone forget the definition of cannabis?
This is not rocket science my fellow Canadians - humans.
