I was up before Forhorn- Celebrating the day! Cockadoodle-doo0000!! 
One year ago today we took posession of our new home, this time last year I was driving up with a truck full, crying tears of joy.  It's hard to believe it's been a year already...  AND  it's ALSO Our 28th Anniversary!  HOLY - I am always amazed at the number of years we have been together.  God knew.. I can tell you, after 28 years.. I can't think of anyone else I would want to or could'  continue this journey with.   What has helped us is our love for our son & our passion to create - together we make some pretty cool, fun stuff.  

Our agent Tom chose the date of 'move in'- we were too preoccupied to realize it was our anniversary... hee hee .. 28 years & we almost didn't make it.   I remember Tom telling Norm - in our old garage:
    Listen, she's packed... she's moving.  You better make up your mind, pretty quick. 
It's why I am grateful for Tom, who went above & beyond & he also INSISTED- (as we were going to sign papers on a different house) that we come see this house- "If Ive ever seen a house for someone - it's you" & he was correct. God sent Tom to help me- I told him that numerous times. AMEN.  I painted him to thank him (below) I hope he likes it- it did make me giggle- I know he is into Harley Davidson so I 'played' with his painting. I think he should use it as his new business card! Hee hee

ONE YEAR later here we sit!  BOTH very happy - you see it with our coop & new extended family.  Norm got up today & vacummed this morning... without being asked.
Brought a tear to my eye. lol   WE absolutely STILL have our moments- heated  words  a bit of yelling- usually on my part & then it's over- we sort it out & carry on. That's life. That's relationships. That STILL 'working at our marriage'.  I didn't want someone who wanted to stay- cause thats the way it is- screw that... I see too many 'miserable mirages'..we continued as a team- to enjoy & GIVE thanks!  I make him - "Did you give thanks for another beautiful day??" I ask (& insist) over our first coffee. He knows better and says :  Thank You! 

I made breakfast  & we'll celebrate by feeding he chickens, weeding the garden, building a goat barn! Fuck YEAH!  This has been one of the best years of our lives.. the only 'one' missing is Storm.  When he visits he feels at home & that's all that matters.  
With the year it's been- Covid 19,  I am celebrating every second of this day.  We bought this house on July 10th 2019  but our old house sold 9 months later - yikes on APRIL fools day, 2020 during a pandemic!  Had it not sold... just one month more & yes, we would have been in serious trouble - we could have lost everything, owning '2 homes' we could not afford.  Cowabunga - YES! Thank you God!!  Praise Jesus! < helped me through it ALL!
Jesus assured me 'I could do this! FOR BOTH of us.. '   Believe it or don't..
Here we sit.  Amen.

HAVE FAITH. 
 
I've enjoyed isolation- I've struggled with venturing out anyway, only because I love it here so much.  This morning in the pen, Ginger showed us yet another reason to celebrate today, Indica's nuts* fell off!! Yeeeehaw. LOL I told Norm I'm making him a keychain for our anniversary...  Ginger was walking over to show me what she found. It took me a second... at first I thought she successful captured & killed a chipmunk.
* The male goats testicles are wrapped with an elastic band and over time the circulation cuts off & the nuts fall off. He certinally did'nt seem to mind or notice & no - no baby goats.  
It has me pondering why can't we do this to proven pedophiles?  Or rapist... it would be a start in the right direction, imo.  Now you know.  

I am also celebrating reading today: Canadian police chiefs want to decriminalize all drugs for personal possession- REALIZING it is a mental health issue- Hallelujah!!!  HOLY!
 If that alone, isn't reason to celebrate - I don't know what it- so celebrate!!

With THC & TLC & some psilocybin tea...  me.

​

We had a visit yesterday from the former owner of our house!  From a distance..  
We met the first time as I seeing the house for the first time ( it was spontanious) and she happened to be home.  I stepped out of our vehicle - never even went inside the house, before I said to Norm:                 This is it.  I knew.
 I told her that day - I'm buying this house & love it and I will love it like you did.  She held my hand and said "o.k.",   I knew that moment she & I were soul sisters.   Nevermind the inside of the house - many would guess it was already mine after a quick glance, even the paint colors were the same as my old home.  Adorned with masks, rocks, shells - I felt at home already.  

It's almost been a year, one the best years of my life! Deni shared some history of the house and I was not shocked to find out this IS a special place,  built right on  the Canadian shield... (on a slant so we never have to worry about flooding) - it's really well thought out- I just love this house & property.   Deni smoke cannabis too & had a sweet little tin with her joints- the same tin I've had for about 2 decades.  We agree with many things & seem to both be caring & concerned about the goings on of the world...  I feel like we've already been friends for years.   Soul sisters.   She accepted our first offer & my insisting 'I wanted to be in A.S.A.P & WAS - LOL   The house was sold and I was here  in a month (and a bit ) later,  she admitted it was so fast - it was good, she did not have time 'to think' - come to think of it- neither did I,  I had packing to do.  All history now.  
​So, I bought a new home and made a new friend.  Blessed Bonus!

I'm such a believer that God brings everyone into my life for a reason - I'm so glad I met Deni & our new home. Thank you Tom*  more on him, soon.  Norm is happy too.  Go figure... a little tired at times, as weve also accompished a lot in a year. Deni remarked the love we are already putting into our new home is obvious.  Yes it is.  It's so easy to wake up each morning (easier now with Foghorn! lol)  & give thanks to God for another day in this beautiful spot we call home.  I look forward to each days adventure,  it sure it an adventure.

The COOP is COMPLETE & just in time...   my tiny family has grown some more.
I'll show you the ladies tomorrow &  Sativa & indica (hee hee)...  but here are the gifts from today in the image below. YAY!!!

The perfect sign for this Covid-19 summer!  My deck is decked out - weeeeeeeeee!!
I knew when we bought the house it needed work & who better than Norm & I?  I fell through the old deck last year (rotten in a couple of places) and 1/2 was missing completely so stepping out the studio, I stepped out to rocks and a tiny  (not well made) bridge' to the bird deck  -was an accident waiting to happen - so DECK DAYS!!  lol
I designed the new deck and Norm got to work & it turned out Fricken fantastic- exactly what I wanted - a dream come true!

It's mental HEALTH Monday - want to know what' s  MORE stressful than covid?  
The fucking government not making up their mind!!  Wear a mask- don't wear a mask..  stay home - it's o.k. to go to to a beach/park and pack like a rock concert - Holy! WTF?  
Will the death number go UP these next couple of weeks? I think so.  
I think, I am excited to stay home and chill on the deck allllll summer if need be  & now...

Norm rocked the deck! Don't think it was all fun and games- he has me as the foreman' and everyday I was up and out of bed yelling :It's deck day!!! WOOOOHOOOO!!!  
60ish - one man one week! Ripped out the old - ppoured cement! Dug holes. shovelled rocks, cut wood.. carried wood (LOTS)  predrilled, drilled and customised - to my exact specifications! Fuck ya! Look at the railing we made. hee hee.  & yesterday, he made the mistake of starting something new- the deck could wait...  so he thought.
 NO, it could not and the bear in me let him know it. I've lived 28 years with unfinished projects at the last place- not happening here!!  A bit of grumbling - he finished and Im so happy - Im deck dancing with dogs!.. I decked it out with plants- Norm then build us a fantatic table from old pool table feet someone gave him years ago & a found cedar door that was on the property.  It won't blow over & we don't care if it gets wet.

I love my deck & Norm for building it for me- I am not an easy going client or wife - hahaha
I make sure he's not taking too long of a break and up and ready to rock at 8 a.m.!  & I don't love him because he built me the deck (in record time). I love him because he'd stop and wash the dogs, stop and make ziplock candle holders from the left over cement with me, ingnore me when I 'lose it' and yell due to the mess  I'm having to step over - lol, as I survey the job! hahaha!

Yes, he loves me too - big time.  
The proof of our love is in the details of our home... look at that railing. hee hee.
It's a differnet love than it was 28 years ago (OMG - 28 years!?)  it's stronger...  it should change - it does change. The lovey dovey crap- gone... the loyality & love for both the men in my life - watch out- mess with my son or husband and you'll meet mamabear.  I don't know a harder working guy & I'm glad he's here - even thou some days I tell him to:
Get out of my face!  
Love is.

We talked about all 'this stuff' before Norm moved here & we continued this journey together... I dont know anyone else I could live with, art with - we are a good team.  Time to paint a portrait, plant a garden & chill on my lovely dream deck!  The  bird railing is for art, provides the illusion of being up high, it's only 2 feet off the ground!  
Time for a nice glass of  grape juice with soda & a big fat joint our on the deck!
 
For my mental health - I'll stay home to avoid confusion and germs!
I'll keep busy & garden, draw, paint & explore. I'll nap too.

There's a little monster in us all..   I have one.
How do they get there.. I'll tell you how. We are taught.
They call us 'Little Monsters' but forget, they help make us that way.

Yesterday, it was visiting.. big time, my little monster.  
It came with a warning for Norm : Leave me 'Be today. 
He knows when I say that, to listen.  He did.  Thank God.. cause my monster was ready to rip someones eyes out. I needed to sooth the beast because I AM AWARE when it's there. NOW.  It only took 56 years to spot it.  With the help of natural medicine.

I stayed in bed all day in silence. 
I cried  for little me & I apologized that there was not 'someone like me' for me, back then.
Then it hit me.. wow.    How awesome, I have turned out to be - me.
I had words I've been waiting to hear my entire life.  
I'm sorry.   "I'm sorry,  I knew.. We all knew."   
I roared back:  I know you knew! How could you not know!!?  
WTF did you think was happening?  Bedtime stories and snuggles.  HARDLY.
YOU fuckers ('adults' all aware & too)  & yes... shame on you,  ALL of you who knew.  
You can live with it.  But I get it. I get being caught up in our own world & problems. 

Then the words:   You raised yourself.
Yes, I did. 
Pretty much...  

Fuck yeah! I did a fantastic job - all things considered.
I am so grateful for that phone call - I needed it.
I needed to know - someone knew. Thank You!  Confirmation.
Validation.. vengeance even.
& God knew I was ready...  
I have forgiven & finally, too fucking wise to forget.
I forgive you all!  I'll prove it by living a great 'rest of my life.

I also KNOW Cannabis has helped me with PTSD.
Psilocybin Mushrooms made me AWARE on a unplesant but NEEDED trip..
It was never me.  I was & am - a gift.  Created to create.. watch me.

I'm going to share some past experiences (it's time) & call them 'Mental health Mondays!'
Not to shame or 'OUT' , to educate about mental health & how we can HELP oursleves &
MORE - help children. 
Anyone one who suspects child abuse & you don't speak up..
watch out..  those little Monsters grow up, quite often & understandably with a little grudge.
Some little monsters grow up to be immoral, cruel monsters that kill, terrorise and make others suffer- for the  suffering they might have had themselves as children.  Fact.
They don't draw/paint it out - they shoot it out, or beat it out - of others.
It's a patterns that repeats itself for generations too often and it's fucking sad & inpart avoidable.

I am LOVED. I am a Child of God.
God has ALWAYS protected me and shall continue to do so!
I was NEVER alone.

I raised myself.

Tomorrow, I'm going to treat myself to a wonderful mothers day!
I won't see my son but we'll face time and I KNOW how much he loves me
& tells me I am the most caring, thanful person he knows & he loves me, MORE! 
Everyday is mothers day with my son. 
I wonder what I'll paint myself for mothers day!? Ohhh I'm excited! lol 
What helps calm the little monster in you?
​
Praise Jesus and thank you for never leaving me when everyone else did.

Mother of God....  Wash your Fucking hands!  
This was my reaction after learning a retirement hospital/home near me has at least 12 deaths- maybe more now, due to Covid-19.  Letters have been sent to the families of the remaining residents- encouraging them NOT to consider using ventilation to save them, if need be.  I kinda get it. Still.  This is a whole new thing to wrap our minds around - age & being expendable.   For all those not worried  about it - you too will get older one day -so don't be a asshole.  People losing parents - all over & horribly - hurts.  I can't even imagine the pain famalies are feeling all around the world & can NOT even grieve  the loss of the loved one.  Pray for us sinners.  This painting looks fantastic - if I do say so, hanging in my bathroom.  All the reminding I need. 

This is just the start,  the number of deaths in Canada will climb much higher.  
When you learn about energy, mood and collective conscience - you understand the level of sorrow - like none this World has ever seen... the sooner we sort it out the better. For that reason alone, never monitary.

It will be back to normal' what ever that was.. my normal after all this is over will definately be somewhat NEW. How about you? I think I'll continue to wash my hands more and cook more - I know we all "feel" healthier.  As for Peace, it doesn't get much better for Peace - I am exactly where God wants me to be.   Thankfully.  
I am amazed, I am here, really.

Praying - more than usual.  I pray the Rosary.. thinking of several and  naming many in hopes they'll stay safe in this arduous times. It's all I can do - at least it's something.  & really IF Mary were here in these times- I doubt she'd be concerned with using the 'word' - WASH YOUR FUCKING HANDS!
We must do what ever it takes to get the point across.
  
If that's all you are worried about than you seriously have not paid attention to what's happening outside & your probably one of the lingering still venturing outside so - STAY THE FUCK HOME - for what looks like a MONTH.  Or More.

I DO believe in the power of prayer... many do.  
"May is the new April!"  Yeeehaw.
The snow is melting here & the girls are wrestless. Soon we'll be out searching our property for mushrooms, looking for bear tracks, planting vegetables for deer not to eat...  painting and praying....  life goes on & so shall we.

Mother of God... pray for us. ALL.

Everything is a lesson.
What did you learn in 2019?  Much.
What will you learn in 2020?  More.

Expect Miracles!  Always.

What's the plan this New Years Eve?
Bingo on the radio with Canoe @ 6.
I'll ponder on my puzzel,  dinner,  maybe a movie  (something funny or positive)
 before  bed = probably before midnight.
WoooHoo! 
​Sounds seriously awesome to us.
We are excited.

Happy new Year.  Let that shit go!
2020 is going to be... enlightening.

Ho Ho Ho 0 Here we go!  Do you know what increases besides spending at the holiday? ABUSE.  Alcohol abuse in particular is at an all time HIGH.  Cheers.
Yep - I don't drink or socialize with drunks - I can't do it any longer.
​Too many holidays have been ruined by alcohol.  Now, I'm in control and we don't drink or offer alcohol - probably why I have NOT seen a few visitors, oh well - their loss, not mine.  Regrettably though- I had a Good friend" - Phhhhbt... send me a drunken text. WTF? 

I know this person struggles with Alcohol & I've tried to help over the years... NOW - I'm done. I got a text CLEARLY drunken- telling me how all women are whores and then some  I was shocked and not really. I've watched this person destroy themselves & career for YEARS.  Done over.  Fuck that.  This person KEEPS choosing to drink - falls off the wagon & makes sure he takes others with him.  

I get people struggle with past issues (I am no exception) but what I don't do - is get drunk and take it out on others - I try to deal with it' and MOVE pat & enjoy all this life has to offer - except BOOZE.   I am fortunate...  I don't live with drunks.  More children will see their parents get drunk and will be verbally, mentally & physically abused this holiday  because they were drunk.

FUCK that! It does not cut it any more.  It is NO excuse for abuse. 
Smoke a joint.
Relax - CHILL.
Don't go into debt, it's just another day on the calendar. 
Don't create memories of the holiday that you do not want. 

To my drunken friend.. happy holiday asshole - you are where you are because YOU continue to CHOOSE BOOZE. It is that simple.  
No, I no longer have sympathy for you -  YOU CHOOSE.
All women are whores?  
Says someone who can't find a woman (Go figure) whores are much better for this planet than drunks.  Whores save many from abuse.  I'd rather be considered a whore than a nasty drunk.

Calling me names - Phhhhbt.  
I  know who I am - a child of God.  
I actually feel sorry for my friend - I can't do it any more, I certainly don't deserve his abuse.
Still he chooses Booze. Not much anymore can do except the person doing it.
What will you choose this holiday?  What sort of memories will YOU create this holiday? Will you repeat the past turning it into the present?   

I am ready, excited & thrilled for this Christmas!  
 I love to celebrate any day devoted to Jesus.  

Choose cannabis over alcohol this holiday - or choose to just have a nice time with your family - no need to get HIGH - Be high on each others company.
I get 'high' especially  when my son visits.  
Merry Christmas.  Time to paint one last Christmas painting.

Please, wipe your feet.
I don't ask people to remove their shoes as  this is a house full of dogs & the dirt is swept or vacummed up easily, daily, (central vac- weee) thankfully...  

I'm more concened with what come out of peoples mouths than what comes off their feet.  

Shit we don't need to hear.  Shit that only makes the world not as joyful as it should be.
Crap that reminds you why you don't socialize & look forward to hibenation... lol 
We have n0 time for it nor do we even want words uttered  - words of hate, nasty gossip keep it to yourselves please. I don't get upset by 'it' - I become upset by those who spew it - & try to remember they are struggling.   Still... I don't want it here.

I see God everywhere, in everything & everyone.  ;) I like it this way! hee hee

So, I made this sign for my front door...  not that I have seen bear shit.
I have seen raccoon shit, dog shit, smoked some greatshit.. hahahaa & had a dragonfly land and shit on me the other day (it was huge - had it come out of a human it would be equilavant to the size of our arm) it was gross yet facinating shit to watch - I took it as a 'lucky sign'! lol   

So if you are invited to visit...
 PLEASE wipe your feet & leave your bullshit outside.
This does not to apply to dogs- they never have time for bullshit...
 they are too busy enjoying life.
;)

Next #myhaliburtonhighlands forest spider.
& my observation about cannabis here in the HIGHlands.

Have you seen: The Confession Tapes  - currently on Netflix.
Oh My God... I feel like a naive doofus! To think I am one of those who think the police are here to serve & protect - NOT frame & bullshit.  Talk about eye opening and heart wrenching - these people put in jail for crimes they did not commit & the killers still at large due to lazy, un professional liars.  One gentleman proven innocent & it still took 3 FUCKING years to let him out of jail - what is wrong with this? How has this allowed to happen - still - with proof from these tapes- bullied, exhausted, lied to...  in the past I would've spoken with the police as of NOW - I don't think I would- I would ask for a lawyer immediately . 

I kept thinking - HOW are Americans letting this happen- then they played an episode about Canadians & the RCMP = PROFESSIONAL liars is how they will be thought of now...setting up those 2 boys imo - shameful.  Here's the thing.. I like police 'people' (my experiences anyhow have never been negative) I was actually thinking the other day I hope the police where I'm moving are as nice & helpful as York Region..   I know they are far from perfect- but I can't imagine - no, neither could any of those people  - wrongfully accused & sent to jail.  I have friends & family in jail past & currently - some- I feel should be in jail for their actions - hopefully  remorseful & getting help they need. Others- should never have gone to jail - my friend Todd Stimson - that did years for plants - it changed his life- he still is dealing with issues from stress from that.  I knew when he was released he was going to make changes & has! Check out his new business- wow- what a difference in a few short years. ​https://thereleafmarket.com

I've had people tell me "I did not do what they said" & in all honesty - I kinda thought...  well yeah  -you say that but you are  jail..  not anymore - I am no ones judge - I judge people by how they treat me.. and I don't know what to believe some days but I do know we are presumably INNOCENT until proven guilty - not the other way around.  
I am grateful to Netflix for the education - & encourage you to watch.

I have learned if the police ever want to bring me in for questioning... sure, wait until I call my lawyer...  & make sure you turn ON the confusion tape.

I have packed up my painting..   doodling only for the time being.
