Home sweet home.. where I am warm, flu free & keeping busy during these new times.
I had a headache yesterday - & tried to take a break - difficult to do when the world is under quarintine - more so when you realize many Canadins are not home... Canadians I know.

I learned of several a the day wenton- I know how worried I am as a mother (all of us) -worring about my own son, whom I told at the start of this- stock up! I't's going to be a pandemic - but he did not listen to his mother - what else is new... and left it till the last minute. That's frustraiting, so I can only imagine how my friend feels - her son stuck in California!   It was/is March break in Canada- so timing was not great- ACTUALLY -
had OUR Government ACTED SOONER - as they were aware of the problem in China..  many would not be stuck & scrambling now with inflated airline tickets and panicked airports full of such humans.  Once home- I hope people take the 2 weeks self quarantine seriously.

I know people who are currently ill,  sick  "it' just a cold - (I think) ..." they claim,  stay the fuck home - it's just a cold.  It's careless to  behave as such during currently times- I don't care "if it's just a cold - (self diagnosed) stay away.   What does it take for people to understand?  Don't go out and spread it around - it's that simple. 

What's not simple is stressing over $, food or illness...  someone complained they are getting grumpy with no cannabis- (already) and it's bothering his sciatica - wow. I KNOW people who can't afford food right now for two weeks quarantine, are worried about not making rent - since they can't work - let alone money for cannabis.   So if you are getting grumpy because you don't have cannabis - take a look around you, I bet there are people in unfortunate situations with much bigger concerns right now than bud.    

I hope I am wrong (really) about the thoughts I have of the direction this  is going..
8 weeks easy. Longer for schools and retirement homes. etc.. 
We are currently in week - one?  I take anti inflammatories, my wrist so sore as I type- I would not be able to paint  without & Italy is warning against them- stating they believe it makes the Corona Virus worse... what to do.. ask my wrists.  I need to paint.

I need to paint and keep busy & give my own brain a break today, no social media.
All I can do if think positive, pray for the safe return of all I know..  and Be here now- grateful for another opportunity  to hang out with my dogs - all so excited for another daily  quiet quarantine adventure!  

I love this community, talk about 'make you feel better'.. if you can't get out, are worried you can have your groceries delivered free by the Rotary club, people offering all sort of assistance.  You can still buy online from local business - I noticed a kombucha creator advertising -free local delivery!  I sent an IG message & had my kombucha delivered to my door! 6 pack-  the lovely young man Luc, removed the log in my driveway (I was going to meet him) he said it was very easy - yes, for him. lol    We greeted- "no shaking hands"   a
& I NOW have the best Kombucha I've ever tried! Really.  
It's all I drink (my wine in the evening)  and this orange turmeric is TERRIFIC!  If you like kombucha I highly recommend Luc's Brew , what a nice young man too!  I'm impressed with his  Brew, his attitude & business creativity.   

I am also a fan of Canoe Radio!  Boy oh boy do they have a difficult time - it's one thing to live this but to educate the masses as we go along... not an easy task. If you want to hear what my community is like with great music - listen to Canoe.

Be safe.
​oh, this kitty being created- today, on my instagram account.

 I lovingly refer to  (& I think he'd love this): 'Vincent VanGogh 2019'  hee hee.
I paint freestyle - by looking - to look is to get lost in Vincent Van Gogh, pure pleasure.  Some of you will think I've lost my mind - like Norm who recognized 'Starry Night but not the  Skeleton smoking  as both of Vincent's paintings.

Doing what he loved yet distracted, tired, sick, lonely, overwhelmed - sound familiar- Depression.  Apparently had his  Mental health issues  been addressed he would have been very successful & might've seen more than one painting sold. Addressed & not shunned - it can go two ways from what I understand - the 'not so nice way' is more people taking their own lives because they are taking medications that do not work - Depression is not a racist nor does it care about how much money you have.  If we keep shaming, an article I read stated people will just start to hide it better... until they show up at Sunday Mass with a grenade for  the cash basket. 

When we shame mental illness we are applying the same rules as prohibition - what a failure it has been.  If your face twitched 24/7 you would think about this stuff too. God's not playing anymore - pay attention ;)  "You are only as sick as your secrets" - a remark  I think  I heard on a Pod Cast- it must have been my favourite 'Hidden Brain',  every episode interesting.  Growing up 'My Moods'  were shamed, often...  a big secret, I get it - NOW- this is how some handle events but it's not healthy imo - the sooner we address unpleasant events & feelings  the sooner we can try to heal & move on, my mom had a terrible event happen to her at a fairly young age & was understandably depressed at the time - but now  many parent's  are both paying more attention to social media then their children.
The kids won't be pleased when they get older.
It's a fact - try to prove me wrong.

How many  generations started the same way as Vincent, myself, my mom was one of 6 kids & I never met any grandpa...  dealing with mental illness decades later, generations later.  Babies having babies, young parents having too many, too soon with obligations thrown at them pretty quickly - I've blogged when we were first married how we stole a case of baby food to get by...  By the Grace of God - it's why I was more than happy to accept donations  to food bank at Halloween. Yes, I speak from experience - marriage is difficult enough - wait to have your babies -be ready to welcome them with love.  
Instagram, face book, Selfies, Social media, socializing & recreational drugs YIKES! 
    MORE & MORE  babies are ending up  with a wire monkey mom.  & or dad.

Please, Wake the fuck up. Babies do not ask to be born - we humans are given the choice to procreate - carelessly - if we desire.  

People use to often remark when Storm was little:
"Let him cry!"  or ...     " You never put him down... "                      Amen. 
Please put down your phones & pick up your babies.

It's difficult NOT to read about detoxing.. the body & mind, the more I read - the more I am convinced it's the direction to go or rather the direction I am going.   I do not own a cell phone so I don't have that temptation to be checking it constantly as I see others do..   Adults all know what they are doing NOW - you read about it daily, they all understand there is a price to pay for cellphones & I don't mean the monthly bill - it is apparent cellphones are harming as much as helping - just look at the studies with teens today.   Social media has presented an entirely new way for kids/teens to be bullied, acquire an addiction, to potentially be harmed or abused by strangers, ignored by parents with the same tech addictions, texting & driving -  yikes.. being a kid just got more difficult & less enjoyable,  most teens admit to checking their phones constantly & they do get upset if they don't get likes' yikes.  The more time they spend on line- the chances of increased suicidal thoughts - it's science being reported.

It's not just teens - thank God there is an ongoing awareness & and increased movement to detox - I'm reading about small retreats being offered with the enticing advertising: NO wifi! RE- connect with your life. Re- connect with your family. Re-connect with your kids, Re- connect with nature. Air B & B  - that now offer the bonus of digital detox for your vacation so you can truly GET the rest  you need - restore your soul - without CONSTANT distraction. I find it particullarily distressing reading many companies are now 'expecting  employees to respond to email after work hours... less & less are getting the break they need.

As an artist - social media is awesome - your work is seen - yet it is draining - emotionally & physically - * it's not until I TURN OFF & OUT do I start to paint some of my best work,  it was a post I saw on Instragram recently  that made me SEE with open eyes - all social media really is.  There is a 2 year old little girl - who is a media sensation & 'amazing artist'... Please, are you kidding me - is this some sort of prank? This child pushes paint around a canvas with a stick and pours on paint like EVERY other 2 year old I've ever seen paint - except her parents have PUSHED it and her  - Genius? Artist?  
No,  just a normal toddler making a mess...  if you disagree with me, fine - I have some swamp land in Florida I'd like to show you.

No wonder young artists become depressed by social media, kids who are really trying to become better  at art &  at life.  People strive their entire life to become artists - working tirelessly to perfect a skill - & this 2 year old is hailed at the next fucking Picasso (not a compliment in my mind - he was an old perv)  & what does this tell you about social media? Some  people have too much money  to pay thousand for that mess.
Do not rely on social media to define you or your talent - it makes no sense when a skilled artist gets 50 likes - yet a photo of a dog pooping gets thousands  or a normal  child making a mess gets thousands of followers & $$$ for it. Clearly it is messed up - not to mention the stupid, thoughtless acts NOW being preformed - just to try to get 'likes' - how about those selfies -you know the ones where the  posers are now dead because they fall off the cliff trying to get the best Instagram photo?  

Digital detoxing get's more tempting with each passing day.

Painting something for 4/20.

Take it slow like this sweet little sloth...   frig he's sweet, if I do say so. Take it slow.. baby steps until you know & there is much opportunity for knowledge- thanks to many!  Those who have ventured before us - Thank you.   Psilocybin use has I noticed those who share & those who don't.  I don't care what you do,  I have Trigeminal neuralgia I wouldn't wish it on TRUMP ( you know how I feel about him) It's on the increase- especially in women -If I did not share that I am getting at least some 'mental relief' thank God  - from Psilocybin I'd be ashamed of myself! This cold weather is brutal- this cold hits my face like a frozen shovel - I will NOT leave my home... which will make for a boring birthday tomorrow - expected -26 winds- forget it - I invited  one person to spend the day with me tomorrow, I'll get out of my PJ's just in case! hee hee hee  It won't be boring! I have my girls and painting & crafts & then some - excited for each day - pain included. 

I wait for Crusty Rusty to call - he's RIGHT again! & he told me from day one "Jane Philpott doesn't know what the fuck she is doing and can't handle the job!"  TADA!  Good... leave- anyone who quits like this WE DO NOT NEED representing us. She lost confidence in Trudeau- Phhhbt.. she's using Trudau as a scapegoat. Good riddance. Adios - shuffle along. All 'this' will make Justin Trudeau a stronger, better man it already has. I tell my own son all the time "thank those who 'challenge you' or piss you off'  they teach you more  & (and quicker) than you realize... because I know my sons a good man and although not perfect - he will continue to learn from life & not let it stop him from succeeding & be better because of it.  I know this about Justin too...  change is good- Justin is not going anywhere.

Yesterday a gift arrived & I don't think he knew it's my "birthday week" lol  My friend Stephen Boeheme Glass artist sent me a Musrhoom pendant - that is hand wire wrapped & I got  dressed today- just so I could wear it!  The girls are envious LOL - I LOVE IT!
Wow,  this American pal continually restores my faith in good people (I'm blessed to know a few of You who DO)   I am absolutely touched by this gift - I had me speechless.  NOW -
I can't wait for foray season- I can't wait for nice weather- gonna rock this pendant EVERY DAY! When it arrived I held it to the window to see it in the sunlight on it - Poppy was all over it and she looked and me and the feeling was mutual,  (we speak telepathically btw)  ;)  "that was the nicest gesture mom,   you are surrounded by such wonderful, creative loving beings..." I know Poppy... I know.   He actually sent me TWO mushrooms! What a glass collection I have - they have ALL been gifts of love from several & I look at them EVERY day.  The attention in the details - the little bags they came in (orange octopus) are also lovely!  Bravo Stephen - No wonder you were just awarded 1st place for the best Millie in 2019! Well deserved.

The sloth was painted in Timelapse - you can see it if you follow my Instagram account - IG by the way - last week in one day my account dropped 30 people...  in an hour, wtf?  
My thought... FUCK IG, playing with people like that - the next day the numbers were back  30 an although I constantly have people requesting to follow' each day the numbers decline.. lol - who cares the same crap happened when I was on FB. It went from 15,000 t0 7,000 overnight.   It's just a game - don't get distracted by numbers'  
    
When God want's my work to be seen- it will be seen. 
I am confident in the Lord more than Social Media.  :) Hee hee!

There's more important things/events/history being made than my paintings OR social media in this world that we ALL need to 'see' so we can change it.  ​Slowly if need be.
#betterblance #internationalwomensday2019  #fuckyeah

1 or 1,000 000 followers... I follow one that matters & am loved by that ONE.
That's ALL that counts.  <><
For those of you that do tho... thank you! & Thank you Stephen.

I named my studio long ago 'RoseElm' studio Alexa informed me this morning it was "Rose Monday" in preparation for Ash Wednesday (& Georgia day! Hee hee).   A studio where I have a fountain of ideas! I've recently discovered the fountain pen - again. We've all tried one chances are, my first over 20 year ago when I won a pen from a bar in Aurora - a blue waterman fountain pen- which I just found yesterday & cleaned (now that I know how) & am anxiously awaiting new ink refills to give it a swirl or two.  Fingers crossed it still works!  I recently was gifted the green pen by Norm after I asked for  fountain pen & ink.. it arrived the next day and I've hardly put it down.  I've been reading about them because they 'easily   glide over the paper' - no pressure needed- the pen does it on it's own so it FEELS lovely resting in my hand & no pressure - no pain.  Typing today hurts.  No grip needed - fantastic for loose messy sketches which are inspirations on their own.  

I had no idea the craftsmanship that goes into some pens & yesterday  a pen took my breath away - lol , much like I guess a diamond ring or that luxury drive for others this pen was it for me & a BIRD!  No doubts it must cost the same as a  luxury vehicle, I first spied it on IG on a private collectors page - only 40 created! (age of the King) - who I messaged because I could not resist - "Does anyone ask can I touch your pen?"  because this made me giggle, the response was " ..yes and often"  & they do let people touch it as long as they wear gloves! I know the next response  so I needn't ask  Could I draw with your pen!!?  lol  (by the way - I can not 'guess' if the page belonged to a man or woman - which I admire)  It will also never be used! A tear rolled down my cheek for the pen (in my mind) hee hee - I would - I would NOT be able to resist it! Just look at this masterpiece  to see what I'm talking about.  I'm hooked I have 2 pens- so yes, It's the start of my collection.  hee hee  It's good to have goals!! 

Intoxicating is the feel.. I'm going to return soon, I've started a:  I love my homeboy (Jesus) sketchbook, when ever I draw Jesus I find myself feeling fine, smiling on the inside & out. Draw what you love.  I was also sent a card with tulips  (my favourite) from someone who's trying.  I said to Storm not long ago, about I can't even remember whom:
At least he's trying  because many don't.
A million reasons, a million excuses for not even trying.    TRY.  
Sure, I'd LOVE this pen - I will try to get it.. not by stealing it either- lol.. buy becoming a better artist & person...  YOU never know what tomorrow may bring!  
I also want a little girl from Yemen - because anything I can do has got to be better than that! Please Jesus - help me help. 

Check out this  week:

Rose Monday
Pancake Tuesday 
Ash Wednesday (& me -55 still alive! woot woot!)
Thursday is 'Be heard day' - Great for the small dispensaries about to open! :D
Friday is international Women's day!  #Balance for Better. 2019  
I could not have hoped for a better week to celebrate - life. 
Time to get drawing, painting and praising! How about you?  

*other ideas keep  pouring out this fountain  before I can finish that bottle of RUM.. wait until you see the "baby steps sloth" nice & slow..  - coming soon.

What are your goals?  Make some! It's good to have goals.

What gifts would I give myself in this age of wisdom?
I'd give myself the gift of HEALTH & LOVE & honesty.... the gifts of peace & happiness even. Exactly what you see, a bouquet of cannabis with some psilocybin & some Eucalyptus for decor -which is also medicinal.  I love the intoxicating, refreshing smell!  The next time you get some hang it in your shower under the shower head or in the tub for a lovely NATURAL sent. Try it.   I'll pick up some fresh flowers too soon because they do make me happy & anxious for spring. What gift would you give yourself today if you knew better?

I copied this information off of an account I follow on Instagram that I find very informative & helpful:
             David calls psychedelics “among the safest drugs we know of”. He and a team of experts in addiction, drug policy, psychology and other fields ranked 20 drugs on their harmfulness, using criteria ranging from drug-related mortality (death by overdose) to environmental damage.

Overall, Psilocybin Magic Mushrooms were ranked as the least harmful drug, followed by LSD, which had the same score. Alcohol was ranked most harmful (more then ten times as harmful as Psilocybin or LSD), followed by heroin, then crack.

Referring to Psilocybin and LSD, Nutt writes: “It’s virtually impossible to die from an overdose of them; they cause no physical harm; and if anything they are anti-addictive, as they cause a sudden tolerance which means that if you immediately take another dose it will probably have very little effect." Even tho they're toxicity levels are among the safest compared to other substances, the effects of psychedelics are very powerful, and have a potential for unsafe and irresponsible use.  Educate yourself first and do thorough research before consuming any mind altering substances.

DISCLAIMER: Psychedelics are potentially illegal substances, and it is not encouraged to use these substances where it is against the law. However, illegal drug use does occur, and offering responsible harm reduction information is imperative to keeping people safe. For that reason, this content is designed to ensure the safety of those who decide to use these substances.  Credit: Michael Pollan📽

I am thankful for all those who continue to educate & speak UP, if not for them too many would continue to suffer needlessly. I do agree with:
Educate yourself first and do thorough research before consuming any mind altering substances.  Including ALCOHOL.

Canada has Passed Bill C 93!!  People whom have records  for "simple Posession" of cannabis can have them pardoned! No FEE & for FREE! This means it will be taken off the record and it will not effect a persons ability to get certain jobs, volunteer, travel & more.   This was wrong from the beginning - when you know better you do better.
Thank you Justin! Thank you Canada. 

Next - I release the Kraken! It was a lot of work.. more than I anticipated.

My next canvas is a statement piece & the timing is perfect- I'm finishing today! Arrrrgh!  I'm reminded again why I'm not on FB I hear it's really ugly at the moment- or Juicy' what ever you choose to call it -  I'm off of it... I read enough yesterday of what M.E. wrote to know I don't want to read anymore.   I feel bad for anyone who puts up with crap for a paycheque as I've been there myself too many times.  The more I read the more I thought of Jodie in a new light & I can't help but feel bad for all the stress she must be experiencing and not for 'her own actions', imo she has always been impressive & professional in her talks and her demeanour & when your husband behaves like an ass what are you gonna do? We have all been there, most of us anyhow.  This is a little more than behaving like an ass.
A wife should not be punished for the actions of her husband -visa versa- just like the saying a son should not be punished for the action of his father.
IF this were the case - we'd all be in trouble.

I was struggling with this painting because I know women who are struggling with sexual harassment in the industry & no one is safe.  I started it a few weeks ago & then was told by a friend her boss is again threatening her with loss of employment if she does not comply and I got all flustered and walked away- I don't want to paint in anger.
Where do you go for help? Who do you ask? It was only a matter of time & it's far from over there are many horror stories - it's EVERY industry but because this industry has been ILLEGAL for so long it's been permitted to grow & thrive. Pun intended.  

I  'lol' yesterday when I read  a post where Dan Bilzerian (what ever his name is) posted about this "#metoo shit  getting out of control.."  & another man replied: that's priceless coming from a guy who's kicked a woman in the face, broke another woman's leg & pays models to be with him"  Wow. Thank you to that gentleman for speaking up & SEEing the problem. If you behave like this  yes, I guess you might be a little worried.
Thank God for #metoo,  maybe in a few years women & men will   #  #notmethankfully

It's already been going on for too long, here is an article to give you some insight: ​https://www.revealnews.org/article/in-secretive-marijuana-industry-whispers-of-abuse-and-trafficking/     Men & women are being abused mentally, physically & financially  consistently taken advantage of by those who have money & power.  
Usually men - Cocks in the field raising a ruckus -what else is new?  
I am able to see the cocks because I also know a few gentlemen in the industry - thankfully . & for this reason I give thanks or cannabis legalization in Canada - this sexual harassment  bullshit won't be tolerated - no one should be worried about not receiving a paycheque for the job they are HIRED to do - without fear & constant stress from predators.

There is hope in legalization across the nation!
​Accountability & professionalism & Product Quality are what will survive in this industry...  Be nice.  
Time to paint this grey day away!

I'll expose my cocks tomorrow.. lots to look at.

​

What did I do yesterday? Cleaned my ROOM!  At the start of the year I read about a book where the author said 'keep your room clean' - meaning the mental space in your head - it stuck with me & I took some of the advice mentioned - I'll consider reading the book next. It was time of a new perspective - nothing fancy but it all sparks joy ;) & my bed - custom made is great- I actually think I finally know what I'm going to paint - in the spring so I can keep the windows open.  I have no children to worry about so I proudly display my cannabis in a designated area.   It's clean now * comfortable, I tossed junk, thinks I've been hanging onto for years - why? No clue - all worthless, some broken -what ever- it's gone now.
Toss that trash!

Speaking of tossing trash look who's talking trash...
Marc Emery is all over the news again - the self proclaimed Prince of Pot - I can't help but think - he is done' another one taken down by the #metoo #timeisup movement - #whosnext?   If the rest that comes out on him is anything like I am currently reading he is  off to jail again - for sexually abusing women & using his power in a negative way.   Jodie, her 'career' is over too,  I'm guessing - even if she was/is a victim - she was also a partner who seems to be well aware of everything else going on & handled it all professionally as she stood by her man - stand by your man-  phhhhhbt.  I had a friend me tell me someone that works with them closely is also being accused of rape, someone I met. Yuk.. it makes you feel dirty just knowing - I feel sorry for all the young ladies & men he TOUCHED.  I offered thanks this morning to Michelle Rainey, she warned me then "stay away from Marc & Jodie Emery -  they are not as they appear... "   she wasn't the only one.  I am thankful I listened - I've seen it myself - it is easy to get caught up with all the fake smiles & cameras and "we love you" screams to Marc & Jodie at events -  do you understand WHO you scream that to?   I was black balled by the Emerys  & "groupies" because I did not kiss the royal couples ass - (which I was told on several occasions)   Amen,  Absolutely -a blessing in disguise!   

When, I read what he himself posted on the cannabis culture fourm & was posted on twitter - I wanted to puke in my coffee - HIS OWN words - & it reads like instructions  on how to rape a woman in the ass - and then ends with how to ignore her complaints when you're done - I guess for the next time you rape her.  HE IS A PIG & ALL who watched and allowed - are just as bad.  He wanted the attention - he got it.   'This'  is who people have 'looked up to' in the cannabis industry, no wonder there have been such struggles.
This  is someone you want  to hang around?  Is this is someone you support?  
I have the feeling  a lot more is going to be exposed before we hear the end of it...  I could care less if I hear anymore  - I'd rather clean than dirty my mind with what I might read. Paint peacefully than give either of them any more consideration...    I was made aware of the other side of them both years ago.    Thank God.

The sun the moon & the truth ...    who's next?
'Bad boy, bad boy what you gonna do?...  What you gonna do when they come for you?
'Boys will be boys...            'Boys will be held accountable for their actions..

​Back to painting some beautiful natural medicine -true beauty in this world.

Tonight is the night to see the wolf BLOOD moon & I'm excited!  Anyone who claims we are not effected by the moon - is in denial.  Thinking about the plight of birds... the flight of birds who are effected by the moon & night sky  like my red breasted robin  & my hopes are birds will not disappear as soon as anticipated.  
Lets hope the planet won't disappear as soon as anticipated. 

Global warming, pipelines exploding, trees disappearing, fish dying, women still marching for rights not given, women marching to have missing women acknowledged', human sexual trafficking is at an all time high- Children are the worst victims and what do we 'see' constantly -  ignorant little pukes like this one:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/indigenous-march-student-mock-1.4985493?cmp=newsletter-news-digests-canada-and-world-morning in their  red hats covering their hate filled brains.   All this has me  thinking...  we are in trouble if this is the direction of our future.  

This past year has me convinced we should abolish  ALL MALE schools.  
Look at the pack mentality it creates,  A PACK of wild, nasty beasts who in the past year have been exposed for rape, abuse & violence -  of fellow students (each other)  & then all those around them. I can't imagine its helpful to young women- I don't have to STUDY or have research done to know the mentality & conversations being had in such environments ABOUT women in general - neither do you.   All boys schools only strengthens the "Boys will be boys mentality" - and these boys will be running the world one day?  It's frightening - especially when we see the evil that already resides. #metoo isn't going anywhere & #whosnext  & of course #timesup ! thankfully will help keep those who behave badly in check - or at least shine a new light - so we can all SEE the evil for what it is and CHANGE it.  Correct it.  Call it out!

I'll be looking for the beauty in the moon tonight as the same time I'll be praying for world peace...       I'm not alone, this I know.

'Blue Monday' tomorrow...  Grin & BEAR it!  It's just another day...

Not this Georgia - Georgia in Australia like rats. 
This Georgia likes to find other Georgia's online and paints them little gifts - because:
                             "Us Georgia's need to stick together!"          lol 
WE are All lovely creatures - inside and out, I choose to surround myself with other loving, talented, compassionate beings... all named Georgia.   hee hee

It takes me from my comfort zone painting I don't know what for I don't know who...  gives me an excuse to try something knew, I clean my pallet & mind * LET GO  & I paint with TLC as always, knowing I am going to bring a smile to another Georgia's face on this planet,  luckily US Georgia's all seem to LOVE animals and commonly have all sorts of pets - when I was first asked to paint these rats I thought, why can't it be a dog - but I can see Georgia loves them so I decided to love them too  & invite them to a TEA party!   

The first 1/2 is time-lapse as seen on my instagram  is 'base painting.  I needed a break & forgot to 'resume' in the afternoon. I know she will like it. the original is on it's way...  
I've made a new friend named Georgia - I'm really making these friends because I'm getting bad with names. Smart huh!?  I'm not just another pretty face ya know.  ;)     

Next -the blood moon I hope to see tomorrow evening! 
Make a new friend - TRY, what have you got to lose?
