Dog Diary vs. Cat Diary, ha ha ha
Excerpts from a Dog's diary:
8:00 am - OH BOY! DOG FOOD! MY FAVORITE!
9:30 am - OH BOY! A CAR RIDE! MY FAVORITE!
9:40 am - OH BOY! A WALK! MY FAVORITE!
10:30 am - OH BOY! A CAR RIDE! MY FAVORITE!
11:30 am - OH BOY! DOG FOOD! MY FAVORITE!
12:00 noon - OH BOY! THE KIDS! MY FAVORITE!
1:00 PM - OH BOY! THE YARD! MY FAVORITE!
1:30 PM - ooooooo. bath. bummer.
4:00 PM - OH BOY! THE KIDS! MY FAVORITE!
5:00 PM - OH BOY! DOG FOOD! MY FAVORITE!
5:30 PM - OH BOY! MOM! MY FAVORITE!
Excerpts from a Cat's diary
DAY 752 - My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre
little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh
meat, while I am forced to eat dry cereal. The only
thing that keeps me going is the hope of escape, and
the mild satisfaction I get from ruining the
occasional piece of furniture. Tomorrow I may eat
another house plant.
DAY 761 - Today my attempt to kill my captors by
weaving around their feet while they were walking
almost succeeded, must try this at the top of the
stairs. In an attempt to disgust and repulse these
vile oppressors, I once again induced myself to vomit
on their favorite chair...must try this on their bed.
DAY 765 - Decapitated a mouse and brought them the
headless body, in attempt to make them aware of what I
am capable of, and to try to strike fear into their
hearts. They only cooed and condescended about what a
good little cat I was...Hmmm. Not working according to
plan.
DAY 768 - I am finally aware of how sadistic they are.
For no good reason I was chosen for the water torture.
This time however it included a burning foamy chemical
called "shampoo." What sick minds could invent such a
liquid? My only consolation is the piece of thumb
still stuck between my teeth.
DAY 771 - There was some sort of gathering of their
accomplices. I was placed in solitary throughout the
event. However, I could hear the noise. More
importantly I overheard that my confinement was due to
MY power of "allergies." Must learn what this is and
how to use it to my advantage.
DAY 774 - I am convinced the other captives are
flunkies and maybe snitches. The dog is routinely
released and seems more than happy to return. He is
obviously a half-wit. The bird on the other hand has
got to be an informant, and speaks with them
regularly. I am certain he reports my every move. Due
to his current placement in the metal room his safety
is assured. But I can wait; it is only a matter of
time......

new word: Frass
Catepillar poop is called: frass
I have a catepillar infestation and discovered this fun word while researching the genista catepillar. A catepillar which was supposedly brought in to get rid of an invasive species of broom plant.

Cherry Tree gets a make over to keep the birds away! It worked, only one cherry has been picked at this season. Shiny aluminum foil and yarn wrapped around the tree to detour birds from landing. Yay cherries!
Surprise Flowers! I thought they were "sweet dreams" flowers but they are a red flower instead, first of many!LS

"Keep Your Love Locked Down"
This a painting I am considering adding to the Warrior Mothers show in May. It is acrylic on canvas. I entitled it, "Keep Your Love Locked Down". The concept of the piece is a symbolic representation of protecting what you love and hold most precious to you from the evils of the world. It reminds me of what a mother does instinctually with her children.

Hi All: Lacey and I had a very nice reception. Thank you to everyone who showed up and all our friends who will stop by and have stopped by to see the art this month. We really appreciate it. :)
Even before the Reception!
A Small piece sold at the OH SHEET show volume 2 at Barefoot Coffee Roasters!
We don't know which piece right now because we hadn't taken pictures yet but it was one of Lacey's little ink drawings in the tiny frames.
