Happy SPRING! 

Goats are notorious for getting into trouble! 
Ours opens the door to the chicken coop & turns off  & on the light switch, & helps him tot he chicken food after he opens the garbage can.  I am very amused with our goats but  ‘this goat’,  was inspired by another. 
This goat tries to break into a cannabis farm & it makes me laugh every time I hear it, it's really soemthing that has made me smile this past year. Grateful for goats, creatures in general.  The look of defiance on his face in photos I have seen make me laugh out loud.  Goats like company and are very playful & will win in a stare down contest, most times.

Thank God for creatures who are funny, entertaining, inspiring & loving. 
Grateful for the inspiration - clearly I enjoyed the ‘Notorious Big’ special on Netflix.  Notorious big did what he needed to do & made no bones about it  & believed in himself… & Jesus.  With faith in yourself & all that is possible.  We rise up, by helping raise others up. Biggy was Proof.  He had many who believed in him & more now.  The Lord works in mysterious ways I ponder,  as we boogie to Biggy @ 8a.m… glueing goat gems.
Hee hee hee

Our Goat behaves like an ass!  Indica  gets up on his hind legs and dances treats out of your hand, and will push you over  & doesn't let the ladies have any treats - he head buts them when they try.  he would be the glutton of the petting zoo. Everyone is excited for spring - we see  it as they spring around the  pen, excited for the day.
Goats teach us to enjoy the moment. 

The last step of this painting was to add the gems this morning, much more difficult than I anticipated. 
I walked out to our deck and looked at the new coffee table top Norm created, it was covered with dancing diamonds  of frost in the sunshine - Gods gems! A gift for me to see  in the sunshine before the heat melts them. Heat.. 3 above freezing.  Inspired I raced into the studio - Oh my.. next thing I knew, I had Norm helping ‘peel off’ the tiny gems as I glued - TEAM work is the DREAM work! 
BAG the necklace took almost as long as the painting. I'll source out new gems for furture Spring Bling!  

We “high fived"… my five higher than his, grateful for Gods medicine helping me get past the fact, I can’t pick ff these tiny Gems. This lesson makes me aware & appreciate these tiny gems called hands, I’ve often taken for granted.  

I hope ‘Notorious Goat made you smile on this glorious first day of Spring 2021
We are created to create Joy.    

Podcasts & playing games

Do you listen to podcasts?  I found a new podcast I am enjoying:  
Useless information  hosted by Steve Silverman

I don’t find the information useless - as much as I find it interesting - who knew about Bat bombs.. or the toilet paper shortage - long before Covid.   I’ve listened to podcasts on the pandemic, art history by women,  Canadian true crime to name a few- I am a fan.
Other favourites are: ’Brain washed (CBC) Ideas (CBC) Night time, Dissect, The art history babes, The Current  &  Rabbit hole… just to name a few. 

If not listening to Apple music (no babbling bullshit) -podcasts are the way to go while painting & relaxing - cooking or cleaning. It’s too easy to be educated on any topic now a days IF YOU CHOOSE to.  I learned on the Useless information podcast the 10 most listened to songs ‘ever’  during the 20th century - the first tells much : You’ve lost that loving feeling - heart ache… we all experience it and sing about it - it was number one.  Number 10 was:
                                                    Georgia .. on my mind  .

Ohhhhhh yeeeeeaaaaahhhh.. lol   Georgia… on your mind.  Clearly  Georgia  is on the minds of millions to be one of the top 10 songs ever played.   I shared this tidbit with other Georgia’s on social media reminding them to 'rejoice'!  So, I guess technically ‘Georgia’ is the most female name song - sung…  oh- wait..  Mr.s Robinson came it at number 7. 
I’ve been paying more attention to song lyrics recently, it’s been an education and awakening.. more on that soon.  

I learned about MKUltra experiments in several of the podcasts - and an institution here in Canada that fucked with people & their minds - just because they could.  < Read it - it is another side I was never aware of in Canada. The Dr. claiming it all in the name of science’ as they knowingly turned innocent victims (who thought they were being helped )into mindless blobs. FUCKED UP. Here in Canada.  We watched the Unabomber on Netflix - when you understand to the degree he was fucked with by Harvard professors and proven- wtf? I do not agree that he is still in jail…  I wonder if this is the agenda of Netflix.  Perhaps he is actually doing better in jail?  Sad such genius was wasted on anger.
At least it has people thinking and talking.  I never agree with anyone causing another physical harm - or ‘intentional fuckery’ - it’s just as harmful…  but to simply ‘lock  them up’ - not understanding is no better.  No one becomes any wiser… some only get angrier.  
   
It’s one thing to hurt others, it’s another to intentionally plan and cause harm & hurt - how come it was o.k. for  Harvard to hurt a student and not deal with the ramifications later.. never mind the FBI experiments that cause someone to jump out a window.. messed up.

One thing I know.. playing with peoples minds is playing a game that won’t end well and sooner or later- the games going to be over. 
Jesus  or Karma (call it what you will)  will have had enough and END the game.

12 foot Spirit animal totem.
Totem Pole Inspiration.

In elementary school I loved  learning about  Indigenous people - I was obsessed with Totem poles as are many Canadians to this day!  Hand carved on a grand scale - months of work if not a life time… a lifetime of experiences during the gift of the journey - enabling these masters to carve Totem Poles from our great Canadian treasures  - PINE TREES!
We have some tall Pine on the property that tower and sway gently some days - mesmerizing me for hours. These are the trees many totems were caved from  If we have to cut one down - it’s on my to do list, lol.  Imagining Totem poles…   I’ve already sketched the next.  Totem poles are sacred,  I am grateful for Canada's Indigenous people for their contribution to our country then & NOW.   .

I researched online for Animal Spirit representation and Totem poles animal meaning, Indigenous belief, traditions and art - I think back now to how little was actually taught about indigenous people of Canada and the loss of that knowledge, was truly a loss to our entire Canadian culture.  NOW - learning how Indigenous have been treated & continue to be treated - with more than most in incarceration, living in poor communities,  struggling with addiction, racism, government neglect, police abuse & even hospital neglect - it is absolutely not a part of Canada, I am proud of. 

There’s no time like the present to learn about others, to celebrate their gifts so we can all continue the journey together wiser & stronger… as we all walk each other home.     All these Totem creatures mean something, according to charts, my spirit animal is a wolf - my next Totem will be a wolf praying while painting, I intentionally ask God to continue to show me LOVE which keeps me in Awe - creating for the creator… much like the indigenous artists before and after me.

We highly recommend  Amend on Netflix. WOW.  Grateful for the education and sad for the realization… there are humans who judge for many things still. I must continually remind myself  people who sit around and INTENTIONALLY think nasty thoughts & acts are miserable, fearful & faithless.  
RISE Above, your faith in God & yourself  WILL  INDEED change the world for the better. 
​Leave it to God, shit will get done! lol   I think Ill paint that for my desk today. 
Norm & I were shocked at what we learned, well… I was until they got to the part about women,  it is by far one of the most inspiring & educational  shows I’ve watched, ever.

We watched a documentary on Netflix on Transgender titled: Disclosure.  it was very interesting and a few things 'clicked' especially the part about Bugs bunny- Yes! I get that!  I was & AM still (obviously) inspired by Bugs - No doubts loony toons influenced my growing up to some degree & I relate to Bugs most. I think, I'm nice like BugsBunny (& creative) but don't piss me off or you might hear:  Of course you know.. this means war.        lol

Bugs was a POSITIVE role model for many kids growing up and why should transgender be any different. Bugs would dress & behave as a woman with class, grace, beauty & intelligence. Teaching kids from as young as 5 - 17 , I noticed several times.. this child is different, gay.  I never thought anything else of it, nothing negative - ever. It was obvious to me anyhow, thinking back- I bet it was obvious to the parents too, perhaps they were in denial.  Who cares?  Not me. I do not care about your sexual preference, if you choose to change your appearance - to best suit you.. -AMAZING!  We are created to create- EACH one of us - SHINW- anyway you know how.  Children taught me being gay, homosexual, transgender - was not an option but a way of life for them. Naturally.

As long as a human is not harming another- what business is if ours - how we present ourselves to the world. We have one simple task- choose Joy! Express Joy...  I've come to realize it is an absolute sin to not give thanks for each new day, no matter the situation.  Yesterday was Canada day, it too now comes with past history issues (I need to research further), NOW - in the moment- it represents to me - reminds me - I love the country I live in.  Canada is beautiful & we teach constantly - all can live together- Toronto is the melting pot of the world. That is something to be VERY proud about Canada.  
If you have fears about transgender ( it's the only reason I can think of anyone hating a transgender person) - it's more about confusion.   Watch the documentary.

When it comes to children I do not encourage  'directing' them any way. Honestly I wish they did not see as much as they do on television because I do believe it adds to confusion. All they should be encouraged to do - is create, 'shine' & be nice tiny humans..
Encourage letting them discover for themselves the direction they will go with their own bodies - & loving them & supporting them with the difficult (in many cases) decision.  Lord knows, we all face enough anguish from strangers who do NOT know us but continue to judge us for many reasons.  Anything that makes us want to be better humans should be embraced.

Ginger thinks she's a chicken.

Mushrooms - Psilocybin are also called: The Golden teachers..  I get it.
What they teach us is a valuable lesson worth more than gold.. they ease suffering.
If you allow them. I only had the one negative experience and I no longer consider it negative.  This week my body told me to microdose... I listened.
During this Covid my psorisis has flared, it's my for sure sign even tho I don't 'think' I'm overly stressed - I'm stressed. It would be unnatural right now if anyone said they've felt no stress the past few months. 

What do Psilocybin teach me?
Every single time: I AM LOVED. I AM enough. Be good to me.
I also FEEL' closest to God - just like when you are at peace in the garden or resting under a tree surrounded by nature and life and love.  Black fly love us- hahaha
Not a human, not books, not PILLS, not food..  a tiny litle mushroom has helped.
Go figure! Who knew!?   God.

God and many others knew - Scientists KNEW in the 50' & 60's. Thank GOD that psilocybin mushrooms are being seen AGAIN for what they are - healing medicine.
I am exceedingly grateful to & for them - nothing has ever helped as much as they have. Believe me or don't I don't care -it's your choice all I can do is share my experiences and you can ponder yourself as to what to do. I can't make you, nor do I want to- It's NO careless buzz'.   When the student is ready the teacher will appear.  
Golden Teacher - thank you.
I am loved.  
They have ALSO allowed me to forgive and constantly encourage: BE here now.

Yesterday was marvelous! We explored our backyard! Holy- I'm so happy to be here. hee hee.  We found our first mushroom of the season, new birds & my new obsession - Mossballs. haha I don't know what Im making but I LOVE moss balls- I just wanna squish them.. Tiny eco systems. I've never been more isolated and more happy in my life...  with the exception of missing my son.
Soon, soon It will be over- or at least nice enough we can have an outdoor visit & picnic!
Honestly, I really don't think we'll see anthing close to Normal again - until 2023.  
I feel from what I've read, it will come back in the fall and am being cautious this summer. 
I hope you do too!

Food of The Gods: Terence McKenna  - food for the brain! 

Have you watched Midnight Gospel on Netflix- WOW.  
Best animated show on television NOW.  Episode 8, had me in tears - you were warned.
Netflix also has a movie/doc. about psilocybin  with a bunch of comedians...
​ 'Have a nice trip' check it out.
I'm pleased they did not make it a "joke".

That moment Tinkerbell realized 'Edibles' are not as harmless as she thought...

I love edibles! My prefered is carrot cake that I make myself with medicated coconut oil that I also make myself- it's easier than you think.

Have you watched Rotten: Edibles on netflix?  I enjoy the Rotten series - very enlightening.
I know about edibles but I did learn a few points to ponder. - Edibles have a side effect that most don't consider - I bet more women than men do.
Weight gain.  I have gained 6 lbs since moving up here - 6 that I keep on!
Thank you Country Bakery - lol.

Weight gain is a problem for most & edibles are a very easy way to get - carried away.
I know. First - they taste so good - you want to eat more and all of it.  Don't - read the instructions, you won't die but you might get very HIGH - uncomfortably high, almost everone I know has a story to tell about edibles and having too much of a good thing- but there is also the problem of 'the munchies' - on edibles.  

Weight gain is on the increase as are weight related disease - please use caution.
I encourage all I know to have healthy snacks ready - just incase you get the muchies.  
Better to much on grapes than gummies! & IMO EVERY thing tastes better on cannabis - even carrots!  Medicated cookies- gummies, drinks - you name it - you'll see it soon.
Edibles are are the way IN.  

Interesting to note some think bud will fade - HA. Bud will never fade, many love bud as it is - no sugar needed.  Most of the time I medicate without all the "goodies"  but it's nice occassionally for a sweet treat'. 

I had so much fun painting tinkerbell - I painted 2! 
Tinkerbell giggling in the forest as happy as can be!  Double art day!
Give thanks ;) 

Happy Thanks Giving Weekend! 
Enjoy all the goodies - Medicated or not - Give Thanks! 
Cannabis is legal in Canada!

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.

With Daisy gone the squirrels are going nuts!  :)   Stealing nuts! 3rd world problems Georgia..   Someone recently wrote in our local paper: Please Don't feed the squirrels!
Which made coffee snort out my nostrils! WHO the fuck thinks WE 'Birders intentionally  feed those little *&^%$circus clowns with tials. lol   NOT Me!  Although, I did at one time remark 'I wished I had squirrels... we had no 'big trees' & few in the neighborhood - careful what you wish for.  But NO, I do not 'feed them' or the occassional rat I have seen I was told years ago by a fellow gardener everyone had rats & rabbits  - everyone & the problem is not the gardeners, the problem is mass consumption if you want to get into details & how rats travel & feed as well & fast as they do - especialy in cities.

Daisy helped keep them out of the backyard. I even make a point to try & feed only the bluejays by waiting for them to call & then only put out a few nuts... I need a bigger dog, they think Ginger is a game although her effort is mighty..    she is a Dove stalker - oh oh. 
It's great to be in the garden, dirt in my coffee.. (dirt in my ears by the end of the day)  dirt under my nails, worms thrown in the composter..  the pool is open & clear & we are planting we've been inspired by & delighted with Monty Don! on Netflix - Monty helps make small gardens big miracles!  Actually Norm is like Monty the way he works ... Frig, If I coulds get those two in the garden at the same time! Woo hoo- the  garden oaisis would be complete in no time! I've designed a better bird area to deter the peanut thief  & make seed clean-up easy(r)  I want a DOG & Bird friendly garden for my best friends & constant companions - don't forget the butterflies, bees & sunflowers surrounding the bird ares to bring out my Van Gogh! I've already Painted the sign for it -mentally-  hee hee hee.

A special place for my closest companions Buddhas abound, windchimes - Peace. I'd also like to expand the pond.  I can't even put it into words to be out there and hear all the differnt birds - it's like being in the tropics -it sure beats lawnmovers  & traffic sounds.,  it is addictive - just standing there & lovely to enjoy a joint - or two.

​   Today it's raining - so I will catch up on much needed painting so I can paint all the paintings waiting in my mind to be painted. :))  
Let it pour! Water my garden while I paint Jesus!

Netflix has 2 new documentaries: Weed the People & (I preferred) the Grass is Green 
I guess because I learned more from the second  that I did not previously know & one does discuss children but I know what cannabis does for children. Thank God.  If you don't, then watch both.

Why are people still being punished for cananbis use?
Studies - we need more studies - fuck studies - talk to others, open a history book - talk to rock stars & past presidents, there are many famous tokers of cananbis.
& then there is still ignoranc in the workplace & I thank  this guy for educating in Halifax: https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/halifax-man-denied-job-because-of-cannabis-use-wants-others-to-be-aware-1.4428094    so, there you go Eh! WTF Canada- lets get the facts right- I think a company should be more concerned about drinking on the job - much more common - do they test for that? How about Opiates?
 I personally would not want to work for a narrow minded company anyhow.
On one chanel you can watch a documentary with babies medicating - on another you have a company not hiring - because a grown man had cannabis  LEGALLY in his system.
It all takes time I guess, I'm hopeful- we are this far-  after all! 

Weeee! 2 weeds for a long weekend - I've been gardening all day & am ready to pass out now..  so much gardening thanks to some guy names monty on netfilx.. lol - & the police open! wooot woot - or should I say Scruffy said Woof Woof!
 Time to imagine some relaxing fun.  ​Time to Go for a joy Ride!

Tomorrow is all about the Bees tho- being world BEE day.
& a I'm terribly disappointed in Georgia's decision - a statement painting that applies to both! Have a  lovely long weekend- I hope not to many fireworks are let off - if so please put ear protection in your babies ears!! Fireworks can cause everlasting damage to ones hearing.
