Really behind the eight ball today! So much to do and I have hardly gotten to anything due to a long, important phone call. It is amazing how one change in a schedule can really mess things up. Oh well, I am still moving forward to straightening things out but the morning light is gone so no painting today. Hope to get to my latest wildflower painting tomorrow!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler
Clyde and I don't really like using our cell phones that much. We prefer to communicate on the computer or in person. In person! What's that? Right now it certainly doesn't exist but we will get back to that soon, I hope.
We both see lots of people typing away on phones with their thumbs. That isn't for me. I don't like working with that tiny screen.
Clyde says they are going to get carpal tunnel of the thumb only.
Yikes! I'll bet that is next!

I was so pleased to see one minister's great solution to holding services with his congregation! He got on the roof of the church and the parishioners were in their cars! What a smart guy! I wish all congregations that were determined to meet together would follow his example.
We need to keep our distance right now. Also, nothing wrong with online services. I have been playing the piano at our church for years and will be happy to play again but it is nice to have a break. There are over 800 hymns and I certainly don't know them all.
Cheers to everyone! We will get through this. Be sure to view the Safe Grocery shopping video below if you haven't seen it yet!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler
As I have mentioned before, Clyde has a weird disease that prevents him from eating a lot of foods in all food groups except meat. He was in the habit of picking up a number of items at a specialty store but stopped that when this awful virus took over.
One of the things he can't eat is flour so we get special kinds of noodles for spaghetti. We ran out yesterday and he asked for potatoes as a side dish substitute. Our order in the mail still hasn't arrived.
When dinner was ready I had to tease him a little.
Okay, man without a noodle, dinner is served.
Are you saying I am a man without a noodle that is going to eat the whole kitten kaboodle?
Right. Why did I marry a writer? Enjoy your potato spaghetti!

My studio is finally getting cleaned up. Now that I am not getting out very much, the mess in this house and studio is staring me right in the face and I don't have an excuse to ignore it. I am able to get to my painting, music, and computer chores and still have time to clean up. I don't know how many layers of dust have accumulated but those layers are bothering me now.
You would think someone that is allergic to dust and mold would take better care of a house. Well, when I only have time to paint or clean, guess which activity wins out? I don't like this quarantine any better than anyone else, but it does have this one advantage.
Where is that duster? I keep misplacing it. Time to get back to it. Yuck! Be sure to view my latest wildflower painting. Also be sure to view the video below about safe grocery shopping if you haven't already seen it and stay safe!

As always, Clyde gets up very early to check out wildlife around Radford. I doubt there are many people that do that on a regular basis or at all. He is quite the dedicated naturalist.
You get up at the creak of dawn!
Yes, and I creak around and then creak right on out of here.
Just remember, don't talk to the otters. Remember the time you did that and they started to come after you. You must have said something nasty about their mother in otter talk.
Got it. No otter talk. I will return.

Wow! You know you are getting a good Yoga work out when your arm pits sweat during all those Downward Facing Dogs! Like I always say, I take class because I can't make myself get a really good work out at home. Of course, right now I am always working out at home. My great teacher sends classes with Zoom so I have someone telling me what to do. I do yoga on the other days but nothing like what we did today.

What a workaholic. Now that I am not going out much I have found more work to do. Oh well, good to be busy during this sad time. I woke up today thinking about all the things I want to do and was trying to think of that phrase that means Seize the Day.
I asked Clyde. Carp the dime?
Carpe dodo?
No, Carpe Diem! That's it. Well, I better, Carp the dime, Carpe dodo or Carpe Diem this Tuesday before it shoots right into Wednesday! Stay safe everyone!

I don't think I have ever wanted to be at the beach more than I do right now! I'm sure I am not the only one. We were not planning on going this year due to some obligations we have to attend to but now that this virus is making it impossible for people to be at the beach, I want to be there more than ever! I want to walk along the shore and stare at the beautiful breakers and wildlife. I hope the pandemic will be over by July and people
can get back to typical summer activities. I will certainly be at Claytor Lake when it is safe to swim again.

I told Clyde this pandemic is causing me to retreat to a more primitive state. I just ate a Russells Stover pecan delight and DID NOT BRUSH MY TEETH! I am obsessive about cleaning my teeth so this is quite a step backwards!
I used to tease my mother about how careful she was with teeth cleaning. Our family dentist always told me that her teeth were the cleanest teeth he ever saw. Well, I think I may be more careful than her now but this pandemic is really disrupting my life.
Who knows what's next? LOL!

Another day shot out of a cannon! I wanted to publish this morning. This certainly is quite a bit past morning. I was aiming for 9:30 a.m., not pm. Oh well. I got a lot done and met with a great patron that has several commissions for me so I shouldn't complain. He showed me pictures on his phone of the Kendall Kessler gallery in his home. That is always great to see! He will be adding more when I get the paintings done for him.
Anyway, I will get back to my Wintergreen painting soon, I hope. I am really inspired by this one overlook there that is so beautiful. Actually, a pair of old sneakers can inspire me. As I told students, and meant it, it isn't necessarily what you paint, it is how you paint it.
Be sure to view this week's video above! I am very pleased with my latest Skyline Beauty paintings! Lots of vibrant color and expressive brushwork!

Clyde and I are both amazed at the number of people that are allergic to peanuts these days. I didn't know anyone with that allergy when I was a kid and now they are every where. We have a mother and three girls at church that are all very allergic to peanuts so we are all careful about what we bring to church for reception food.
I make brownies that I know are safe and buy organic snacks that do not have peanuts on the label but there are so many labels that say the product may be made with nuts. Well, that is weird. Don't they know?
Some of the parishoners say they are making sure they won't be in a law suit if a worker is eating peanuts and handles their product.
Clyde says they are probably so worried that soon we will see this label. MADE ON THE SAME PLANET THAT HAS PEANUTS! BEWARE!
That ought to keep them out of court! LOL!

In my last blog I said our Prius had never gotten over the loss of our Ford so it laid down and died. Well, I guess it decided to carry on because it is now repaired and zooming along! We had to pay for a very expensive battery. The Prius has two batteries and the little one conked out.
Of course, it is past the warranty. Cars parts know just when to die. Some sort of automotive intuition. Anyway, we are glad we don't have to buy a new car. This one should hobble along for a few more years.
Clyde and I are both hobbling along pretty well. You'd think the car could do the same thing. Our parts aren't replaceable.

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler
Last August we had to buy a new car as one of our cars laid down and died. I think the other one has never gotten over it and it took a turn for the worse and had to be towed to the repair place.
Since Clyde was without a car today I had to drive him to work which is a 30 minute drive. I like to have some humor in this section and I pretty much depend on Clyde for the funnies.
I didn't have one today so I asked him if he had anything I could use.
I thought I gave you a few. What did you do with them? Dropped them in the trash wishing they were me?
Wow, he is one glib writer.
Enough said!
