Have you seen my basket? & bookmark gouache on watercolour
If you foray you might have misplaced your basket a time, or two. lol. Too many times for me! The cool thing is; I now lose it on my property and come across it sooner rather than later - on my next foray. Yay!! It's easy to do when hunting for fungi! It's all so mazing, the differs sizes, colours, shapes, textures -it's endless. I can't pass 'witches butter' before giving a wiggle. or pop one of the bright pink exploding fungus on the huge rotting stump. Stumps - I once thought of them as a dead stump... I now know, that are awesome little eco centres within themselves often thriving with life (I think I'll add a few more insects to this painting.) The afterlife of a tree. I've seen frogs, chipmunk, butterflies, dragonflies & deer either propping on or scratching at dead stumps. There are mushroom that only grow on dead stumps.. and let's not forget birds who use them for homes, food and tapping' for bugs. What seems dead - lives on, we just have to look and explore... so engrossed with Gods glory we forget where we put own our baskets from time to time.
God promises everlasting life... trees are a pretty good example of that, here... for now.
This is my basket the next day.. waiting for me to explore all over again, having been explored itself since I last held it.
Are you seeking? Exploring? I am mentally, at least until the spring arrives. Just imagining brings warmth, the next couple of painting are all warm as we are tired of cold. Storm gave all the girls a bath before 9 this morning! Arrow loves it, they all do. Poppy dries off the fastest by the fire, I'm sure their skin feels extra dry with the wood stove going, mine does. It was a great start to the day, everyone clean and smelling fresh, let the snuggling begin!
I read some more good news! It turns out , playing outside being a kid - is good for kids! Our government agrees - go figure. They now realize trying to tell Canadian kids to stop tobogganing was laughable. Isn't it a Canadian cultural right of passage, like skating or a snowball fight? Oh, yeah... that other bit of good news: The Supreme Court ruled - TRUDEAU abused the emergency act & should not have froze Canadian bank accounts let alone all the things he remarked to DIVIDE Canadians . There's that bit of good news... so what. Damage was done, people won't forget what was done & said & we should not. The fact that he says they will appeal, should teach all Canadians he also has no respect for the Courts of Canada but expects all Canadians to. Who's paying for the appeal - in reality - Canadian TAX payers. Right?
