I am so tired but I am making progress.  I now have six illustrations for Midnight's Farm House plus the cover illustration.  The publisher said she loves the cover and now she is working with arranging the text on it.

It is my husband's birthday and we had a great supper out.  I used to say dinner but I have lived in the South my adult life so I say supper.  Whatever! Cheers!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

Clyde is very unhappy about the convenience devices that are being used by businesses.  He is concerned that these devices will more and more replace jobs while they save corporations money on wages and retirement plans for people.  They can just replace the device with a new one.  No medical insurance is necessary.

He says that perhaps in the future the robots will unite with the poor unemployed and lead the attack on the CEOs.

Well, that is much more serious than funny so here is something I saw on Twitter that cracked me up.

A guy wants to write about all the things he ought to do before he dies.  It will be called his oughtobiography.

Love it!

I think Tuesday night's Line Dance performance on a surface that looked like a cobble stone street in Europe may have done something to my knee.  I keep thinking it is better because it doesn't bother me in the day time but it keeps waking me up at night with a lot of pain.  Oh well, I figure it will be better soon.  I have plenty of aspercreme.


I now have four first stage paintings for Fiddling at Mid Night's Farm House.  I hope to get another one done tomorrow.  I want to have a lot of time to fine tune them.  I am one of those people that works better under pressure so studio, here I come!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

The other day on a walk through Wild Wood Park I was thinking about several guys we know that suffered serious injuries while showing off, well actually one was just taking a risk he always takes.

I mentioned to Clyde that I was glad he was not such a hot dogger like those guys.  He said he didn't have the nerve for daring stunts.  He was more like a cold puppy than a hot dogger.

I'll take a cold puppy any day!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

Since we couldn't go swimming yesterday, we went for a walk and I managed to get a few Monarch photos I like.  I may add them to my Wildlife photography gallery or I may turn one into a creative oil painting.  Photography is a great medium, but oil painting is my passion.

I mentioned to Clyde an interesting post on Facebook.  The caption was if you could be stuck in an elevator with a famous person, who would you select?  I said Einstein and Clyde said Einstein would probably say, "Why did you bother me? I was having a great moment of relativity and you called me back to ask some question you think I can answer?

Well, that is the last time I try to talk to a famous person that is no longer with us, or at least, that is the last time I mention the desire to talk to one to Clyde.

I want a rain free day to go swimming.  I need to dunk Clyde in some water.

Link to this painting  http://fineartamerica.com/featured/screech-stage-one-kendall-kessler.html

I am real pleased with my progress so far on the illustrations for Fiddler at Mid Night Farms House.  I talked with the publisher a few days ago and was quite surprised at the number of illustrations she wants for the book which will be about 112-114 pages.  So far, Clyde has 80 poems but he said he can add others if I can't get enough illustrations done between now and October 1st.

I have finished the cover and will put it up soon but above is the first illustration of an expressive screech owl.  I will probably modify it somewhat so I have it uploaded as Screech Stage One.  I want to get to the first stage of a lot of illustrations so I can figure out how much time I have left to fine tune them.


Anyway, prints will be available of all stages!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

Yesterday Clyde and I went to Claytor Lake for a short swim.  The sky was cloudy and even though it wasn't supposed to rain Clyde was concerned about a black cloud that was forming.  He studies weather patterns and I ask him before I check the local report.

 

When we got there people were swimming.  As soon as we plunked down our chairs everybody was called out of the water.  We waited a while under the awning and, as usual, Clyde had a comment on most people's reactions to a little water.  He said you would think the devil was coming down on them.

Today I asked Clyde if we could go swimming.  He said he read the clouds and they said put on a bathing suit, drive to the lake and see what happens.  I dare you.

It is raining right now.

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

I am still working on buying food that won't harm us.  We spend a lot of money on organic products and I make my own bread with a bread machine.  Still, I have read that to avoid GMOS I need to also get organic sugar.  Clyde is going to see if he can get it in bulk since the packets at the grocery store are so expensive.

 

I hope there is no funny business going on with these products.  They say they are certified but I wouldn't put it past people to lie about that.  How would I know?


Any way, I mentioned to Clyde that it would be nice if we could grow our own food without pesticides.  We don't even grow a few things due to the huge population of ground hogs in our neighborhood. 

 

If we started a garden a ground hog would chase us into our house squawking and thumbing its nose at us.

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

During our visit to see relatives we had some very interesting chats with relatives.  As usual, I learned more about computers from my brother who has a doctorate in Computer Science while I am maybe a little better than a chimp randomly hitting the keys.

My younger sister reminded me of a saying of Dad's that my Mother also repeated on occasion.

When it comes to our mental health, we are all walking a tight rope.

I would like to think my tight rope is over a lake and once in a while I belly flop but I get right back on.

Clyde said if his were over a lake there would be a herd of elephants waiting for him when he slipped off.

Maybe his is a few feet off of one of the mountain ranges he loves and where he is happiest.  Now, that's a nice thought from the old lady.  Pat that back!

Still reading great poetry and coming up with illustrations for Fiddler at Midnight's Farm House.  Clyde's poetry is great and I would say that even if I weren't his wife.  I have always admired writers and wanted to marry one.  I never went looking for one. Strange how things work out.  He asked me out.  I didn't go after him.  I got what I wished for!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

Well, this is something new.  When we were away and staying in a very nice hotel, I noticed something strange on the last day when we were packing up.

I like to bring snacks on trips and I brought some bags of candy and separate pieces of Russel Stover's candy in foil.  I know I  brought a lot of those and I had only eaten one of them.  Clyde said he had also just had one.

There were only two on the last day.  I think the cleaning crew may have helped themselves.  I was surprised that this hotel did not have a safe in the room so I took my small box of jewelry with me every day.  I didn't think I needed to take my chocolates with me.

Since I wasn't positive about the chocolate I left a tip anyway.  I'll bet that crew would love to see us again.  A tip and chocolate! They got something out of that visit, too!

I am enjoying Clyde's manuscript.  He really is a great writer and a lot of the poems remind me of the Spoon River Anthology.  When I was in High School the Drama department presented a show of readings from that anthology.  We all thought it was great!  Clyde's new book Fiddler at Midnight's Farm House is based on his experiences growing up on Ferrum, VA.  and will be published by Cedar Creek Publishing Company.

My fantastic Yoga Teacher is offering free yoga classes all August at Life in Balance in Christiansburg, VA!  Check it out!  Mims is a great teacher and yoga has helped me out with some muscle problems.  Yes!!!!!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler

More dietary quips.  As I have said before, we try to eat organic as much as possible but you can't always find what you want.  I have reason to believe that all the pesticides in our food are causing illnesses, including cancer.  I am not afraid of dying but I am scared to death of chemotherapy so I spend extra in the hopes of avoiding cancer.

Well, I love mint chocolate chip cookies once in a while and I can't find organic ones so I get the regular ones.  I told Clyde I hoped they weren't too bad for me.

He said as long as you or the cookies don't glow in the dark, you are probably safe.

I ate one in the dark.  So far, so good.
