Did you ever have one of these days?

Old Dinosaurs

Everytime I drive out to the garden centre I see this piece of old rusted farm manchinery and it reminds me of

two old dinosaurs in the woods.

And how can such a colourful bloom be such an obnoxious weed when it is in your yard?

Shoulda had a Camera

What's dumber than a  middle aged woman at an intersection yapping on her cell phone?

One with a real  pomeranian dog sitting on her left shoulder while she drives and talks.

Unbelievable!

 Should always carry a camera.

 She was right beside me in the other lane and I could not capture the moment because I had no camera

Free Watch

When it is windy, and the shingles are flying off your roof.....you go shopping and use your discount card and if you're thinking about buying a watch....you just might get one free.  What a deal this was! And a beaut to boot!

Spring Tulips

Love Spring Tulips

Wanted to get a picture of a beautiful old hawk sitting on a fence post today but he kept flying away...

not the old crow. 

Frickin' hawk is flying all over the field but not the old crow.

He kept cawing

" I'm Over here.....I'm still here.........still sittin' on the same ol' fencepost.

Take my picture!

And a Glam Goose

Crazy weather and Great boots

Second one powered out too but got a little wind back for a while.

A Great Diamond Sunshine

Kris and the Captain

Kris and the Cruise and the Captain.

  She said he sweet-talked her into dinner, then invited her into his cabin, and then told her if he could not have his way with her, he would sink the ship, so she  did what she  had to do, and she  saved 3,000 souls that night

 ... twice....

Then ......
she awoke from her dream

and realized it was the sun's reflection off the high sea, that was playing tricks on her eyes and the illusion of the captain, in her room, was actually a wet, white bath towel hangin' on a door hook with her eyeglasses and coloured braclets....and the bulge was just a door knob...

and 4 empty martini glasses were sitting upright on the floor.

Well the water was real anyway.

And so was the ship she was on...



Signs of Spring....I think

I think it's Spring....... I think It's Spring

Peeling decks are better left covered in snow

Exposed spout with actual water drops falling out

Yes..... this might be Spring

Scrumptious Easy Salsa

So I'm on a roll this week with HW produce. I just bought fresh vine tomatoes, cilantro, green onions, jalapenos and really fresh limes 4 for $1.00.  With all this you gotta make some salsa. All my veggies cost under $9.

6 tomatoes

3 cloves garlic

1 lime

sea salt

handful of fresh cilantro

1 jalapeno pepper

6 green onions

3/4 cup frozen corn cooked

Chop everything up.  I chucked the seeds from the jalapeno. Squeeze juice from 1 lime and add salt to taste.  Add cooked corn or not.

Really good if everything is fresh.....and cheap.

Command Start

Well I had a heebee jeebie moment this afternoon.  I parked my car in front of a store and ran in for a couple of minutes.  When I came out , I thought I saw my car running with exhaust fumes.  This is one of those moments when you see something but you don’t think it is happening.  I mean I see the exhaust, but my car can’t be running.  Well it is.  Then I look at the vehicle...doubting...  perhaps  this is not my car.  I look inside...Yup..it’s my car.....What the hell?? 

So I unlock it, and the fan is running full blast inside.  In my bewilderment,  I sit behind the wheel and put my key in the ignition and can't shut the car off.  Now I  don’t know what to do. I never touched my keys or tried to Command Start it. Generally, if I do start my car with Command  Start, and I get in the car and try to put on my windshield wipers without putting the key in the ignition, the windshield wipers won’t work until I insert the key in the ignition.  So,  I take my key out, and turn the windshield wipers on and the car is still running  and the windshield wipers work just fine.   I can’t restart the car because it is still running. When I insert the key in the ignition again,  I can’t turn it off.  So of course now,  I have no cell phone to call anyone and have no idea how long my car has been running or how long it will run.   So I think , well maybe I can just drive it...after all it is running.  So I get in, put the key in and back up...works fine..... and then drive forward and put it in Park and turn the key off and the car finally shuts off.

 This was super freakin’ wierd.

  I am assuming that  somebody in the parking lot had the same Command Start  set up as me and started two cars at once.   A car thief or an accident?

Whatever happened...this sure isn’t very safe.  Especially if your doors were carelessly unlocked.

  So much for another great idea to have a downside.

Hayley Motivated Me

Well Hayley motivated me to draw my own eye...actually this kinda looks like Hayley's eye when she was little.

Spoookeeee!

A little photoshop when you don't have a black enough pencil

Yesterday I decided that I wasn't going to let Hayley outeyeball me.  So I was gonna get up this morning and draw. My Christmas garlands are finally put away and my vacuum cleaner has been on the floor for a week...but my goal was to draw.  So I got out my sketch pads and" no pencils".  Not a pencil to be found. An art pencil that is....I ripped apart my computer room as when it was renovated, I must have put all my pencils in a place I can't remember.  Why would I have put them with all the other art supplies??? This could definitely be a prelude to a migraine with really good visionary problems. Nope...my pencil case with all my pencils is no where to be found.  So much for the artistic moment.

. I had to get dressed and go to Michal's and buy a damn pencil set, with eraser and sharpener.   Why would this be easy? So now I'm set with my new Italian CD collection and am beginning my sketch.  It's great to draw with music until the CD player skips an hundred bloody times....just enough to wreck the mood I have rebuilt since morning. I had to get another CD player upstairs to get this show on the road.  Now I'm set. Once the art pad was opened I had a pretty good flow. I actually couldn't believe how easy this fell into place.  After all.....l I haven't painted an eyeball for many, many years.  I so much enjoyed this little challenge that I just might do another one.

 Who'da thougth that Hayley would be the one to get me out of a lazy, uncreative slump in one long sufferable, shitty winter?

Hayley is still creating.

See what happens when you don't do your homework and doodle instead.

Love it!

Artwork  by Hayley.

This shows  a desire to want to see things better. Wow!

Happy Birthday BJ

Can you imagine me at 31...oooops 32?
