Ah, Spring!

I came home from work tonight and realized I really had to water the fruit trees. I planted them a couple months ago, two apples and a pear. I planted them on a terrace Mr. Spouse built last year. Mr. Spouse does like to build things, especially when it involves stone. We backfilled the terrace...

Letting Go

Last week I promised a painting would be finished. The contrived kitty would morph into something...else… with da muse. Here it is, the contrived kitty. Gag me…playing safe. Being coy. Aarugh…da muse was not impressed. So I dove right in. Took a plunge off the deep end, paintbrush in hand. Holy crap! The creative waters...

Love Thy Neighbor

The first time I met Mary*** (not her real name) I went home and killed someone. Well, actually I went home and shoveled horseshit…continued shoveling horseshit because that was what I’d been doing before I met her. Before I drove down the lane and introduced myself to the new neighbor who’d yelled at my son...

Priorities

I was on fire Sunday night. Ouch! Sizzlin’ hot…FIRE!!! Because da Muse was lit up big time. And I was her puppet…puppet, I tell you...slapping paint every which way, upside down and backwards. I was so fired up I declared to the world I would have that painting finished by Wednesday. And I asked you guys to hold...

Tonight…and maybe it’s because it’s late and I’m a little fuzzy in the head…tonight I created a NEW FaceBook group. Random Acts of Art. Because I could. And you’re ALL invited to join. Back in February, Valentine’s Day to be exact, I discovered how much fun it was to hide little arty tokens out and about...

Connections

Susan — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 07:39:09 +0000

Internet elves and high tech sprites are having their way with me tonight. Teasing. Tantalizing. Coming oh so close to a connection and then poof, just like that…or is it pffft?…they disappear. Taking the internet with them. Damn damn damn little cyber fairies! I’m dashing this off while they’re out and about. Drinking a beer...

Say Ahhhhhhh

I was at work the other day, eating lunch in the staff room with a couple of co-workers. One of them, Laura, was telling us about a breakthrough riding lesson she’d had the day before. Laura’s no novice when it comes to horses, she’s an accomplished rider as well as a trainer. Whoa, wait up....
