There is a turkey in my yard
I don’t know what he wants
.
He struts to and fro
And yells oh such nasty taunts
.
He waggles his wattles
And snoozles his snood
.
And he blocked the driveway
Cause he’s in a fowl mood
.
But I will not let him
Get to me
.
For instead I have painted
A watercolor tree.
.
The End

Things to do when it’s cold.
You can watch the sunrise.
.
Then run amok and do handstands.
.
You could play Charades!!
(Here Sampson is acting out a scene from the movie “Tremors”.
He’s a huge Kevin Bacon fan.
Mostly because his name is Bacon.)
.
Or dance the Tarantella.
.
Do a little miming.
(See he’s walking in the wind…)
.
Or challenge a friend to a staring contest.
(But trust me, you’re going to lose this one.)
.
Sing!
.
Or meditate
.
Or catch that red dot!
.
Invite some friends over for dinner.
Share a drink.
.
And watch the moon rise.
.
.

House maintenance that is.
I’ve been painting up a storm lately. Well I’ve been painting up after a storm.
It rained and poured for forty days see days see
It rained and poured for forty days see days see
It rained!
And poured!
And stormed like crazy, baby
And it created a hole in my roof
So we ended up with a new ceiling in the garage, which we needed as it was. So that was okay.
I am awfully tired of white paint. It took many many coats of paints, I have blisters.
My husband being a smart man was away on business. I did have some help though.
Until next time…when Dummy attempts to cross the backyard on an elephant…
Will this brave adventurer survive? Or will he be eaten by wild baby turkeys…
Or mauled by emerging cicadas..
(the ones with Elizabeth Taylor eyes are especially dangerous)
Or outwitted by Fox snakes pretending to be rattlers, those naughty naughty boys…
Stayed tuned for further developments…
