I
did too much on Monday. I will never learn. When I really get going
with everything I usually injure a muscle. This time I have a sore
muscle in my upper back. I'm sure it is from too much computer
clicking, typing, and painting.
Oh well, it
is getting better. I hope I can paint today but I probably should take a
day off. I received quite a twinge right after typing the last
sentence.
Cheers!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler
Yesterday
at Yoga we were in a new restorative position that was quite different
from previous ones and, as always, the instructor was talking to us
about relaxing and focusing on what is good in our lives and not to
think about things that make us anxious.
She
mentioned a number of things that might have been making us anxious and
then she said that we might be anxious about how long she was going to
keep us in the pose.
I had to laugh out
loud at that point because I was wondering when we would move on to
another pose. The others laughed a little, probably to be polite to me.
Oh
well, when I told Clyde he said I do laugh easily. He is right but I
still think he comes up with hilarious quips. He married his best
audience. He didn't have a funny to add to this situation. Next time!

I
actually painted and cleaned up part of the studio today! A miracle in
my own home! Now, if I can just get all my computer stuff done,
supper, dishes and so on I will stop calling this day a horrible
Monday.
I like to work but sometimes it is
just ridiculous! I hope I can get out for a walk before I get covered
up again by the To Do List.

I
can't believe what I said to Clyde Saturday night. I guess I was
having quite a senior moment. We always travel to Ferrum on Easter to
visit Clyde's family and have a great time! Usually I cook supper when
we get home but I thought it would be nice to just eat out. I spend way
too much time in front of the sink.
I
asked Clyde if McDonalds would be open on Easter. He looked at me with a
shocked expression and said he didn't think McDonalds was going to run
off with the Easter Bunny.
I don't know why I
asked. There are still some Holidays that everyone gets to take a break
from working. Easter certainly isn't one of them. I just Googled
McDonalds breaks and SOME of them are closed for Christmas. I guess it
is hard for workers to get a break these days.

As
usual I am working on this life sucking device but today there is a
change in the room. A poor female cardinal keeps knocking herself
against the window. Since I am married to the Bird Man I knew right
away what was going on. She is trying to frighten off the bird she is
seeing in the window so she can build a nest without competition.
This
happened yesterday afternoon and Clyde opened the window to change the
angle of light so she wouldn't see her reflection but I don't think that
will work today. It is cloudy. Oh well, I will consult The Bird Man
when he gets home.

I
love fancy candy in boxes. I don't eat a lot of it but once in a while
those hand built chocolates are great! The other day I bought a box
and when I opened it the candy was as old as me. There was white stuff
on all of the pieces. I really wanted a fancy chocolate so I ate two
and then regretted it.
Chocolate that old does
not taste good. It was so bad that I called Clyde and told him if I die
from food poisoning he should sue the store where I got the chocolate.
As
usual he had a smart alec remark. He said probably all he would get
would be two pieces of good chocolate after he paid the lawyers
thousands of dollars. He would be pushing a broom until he was 102 to
pay for the suit.
Ha ha.

I
am really dragging today but I did get some work done on my latest
painting. I love my yoga class and my line dancing class but now they
are both on Tuesday so I am quite tired on Wednesdays. Also, more and
more, I am being enticed by my piano.
I just
play because I like to play and sometimes I help out at church but I am
feeling the need to try to compose something. The reason I didn't
pursue music as I have pursued painting is because I had no idea on how
to compose and as much as I like interpreting other artist's work it
wasn't enough.
I am not about to take any
classes on music composition so I doubt it will be much, but I think I
will give it a try. I really do wish I could have a bunch of lives.
Longfellow was right. Life it short, but art is long.

One of my favorite expressions about wildlife is squirrels are so popular because they have a great hair do.
The
other day Clyde and I were waiting for our son in our car when we
noticed a squirrel with a very different hair do. The fluffy tail was
pressed against the entire body ending at it's head. It looked like it
had been taped on.
Clyde said it was probably trying to impress a girl with a punk squirrel look.

I
am so pleased to sell another original painting of beautiful Pawleys
Island to a great Texas patron! I am also pleased that I managed to
crate and ship two paintings today. The patron that bought Waterway
near Pawleys Island wanted it by Thursday so I was determined to get it
out today so he wouldn't have to pay a huge shipping fee.
The
great Richmond patron that bought Richmond on the James will have his
painting tomorrow afternoon! UPS works wonders when you are shipping in
the same state you live in!

So
much to do all the time that my proof reading is done too quickly.
When I looked over yesterday's post I saw that I misspelled know. I
wrote no. I couldn't believe it. I make a few spelling and grammar
mistakes here and there but that one really shook me up.
Oh
well, I type fast and maybe my brain doesn't always keep up. That is a
nice excuse. LOL! There is a lot of information about the benefits of
Line Dancing on our mental health so I will just keep on dancing!
Cheers on this beautiful day!

Yesterday
Clyde and I took our first walk of the season in beautiful Wildwood
Park! There is quite drop down from the path and he always walks next
to it. I always worry about things like that because I am scare of
heights. When I was a kid I spent a lot of time climbing trees and one
time I had a very hard time getting down from one. I have been nervous
about heights ever since.
Clyde
was so close to the edge that I told him to be careful. He said not to
worry. If he fell they could name the rock he hit after him. Droll.
Very droll.

Beautiful
day! I have so much inside work to do but I hope to get out and walk
later at Bisset Park. It is great to live on the New River which is
actually one of the world's oldest rivers. I love to look at the rapids
and gorgeous scenery and it is a five minute drive from my house!

We
like to eat out. I hate to cook and love to get out of the kitchen. I
have heard some interesting things from servers in my lifetime but the
one I heard last Saturday is something I would expect to only hear in a
comedy. Clyde and I were both surprised and amused.
Clyde
has a lot of stomach problems so he always asks about ingredients.
When he asked about the Mexican rice the server said he didn't like it.
He didn't think it was very good.
Can you believe it? That is one for the books. I wonder how long that server will have his job.

am so pleased that another one of my originals will find a great home
in Richmond, VA! I uploaded Richmond on the James on Saturday and it
sold on Saturday. So far, it is my favorite painting from my Beautiful
Skyline gallery on my website.
I have
skyline paintings of Roanoke VA, Charlotte NC, and Richmond VA and will
be painting other skylines as well. Be sure to check out the gallery! I
am also working on my Kendall Expressions gallery and will be painting
another wildlife one soon! Panther Stare has been a big hit!

As
I said last time for some strange reason, Clyde has been associated
with The Big Foot legend by one of Alan's friends. We often laugh about
that, especially considering Clyde's small shoe size.
I
also mentioned a movie on a search for Big Foot that Clyde jokingly
said he starred in. Well, we watched the movie and it was quite funny
at the beginning and then deadly serious at the end. Clyde confessed
that he walked off the set when realized it wasn't a comedy. We liked
the movie but I was disappointed that Clyde wasn't really in it. LOL!
