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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Got to get to Clyde's manuscript so I can work on some
individual poem illustrations this week. These will be black and white
but I will make them as expressive as the cover. I still have a little
to do on the cover. Also, got to get a painting mailed and a lot of
computer work. Busy, busy, busy.

I
love my Yoga class! I am so glad I took up this great muscle
stretcher. A few years ago I couldn't touch my toes without bending my
knees. I can now!
I have noticed that my
legs look somewhat different since I started Yoga. The calf muscle
that was getting small again after my Skating Rink closed is getting
big again!
This is crazy but my feet look
different. I mentioned to Clyde that they look longer. He said all the
better to kick his butt. I don't have to reach as much.
I
do not kick Clyde's butt. Not once. Hardly ever. Recognize that WC
Fields routine? If you haven't seen one of his films, check one out!
They are great! The Gift is my favorite.

We had a great time visiting relatives and now I am again
parked in front of this Trojan Horse. Spammers to the right of me,
spammers to the left of me. I am just trying to reach nice people and
especially nice people that like Art!
My
sister has a daughter-in-law that plays the violin and the piano. I had
a great time talking to her! I played some Satie for her and she
played a theme song from a popular movie.
My
mother was a fantastic pianist but can't play any more. I am so sorry
she never recorded her music. I really do live to paint but I play my
piano every day. Love all the arts!

Clyde
has noticed a little weight gain in spite of his restrictive diet. We
certainly have found a lot of subsitutes but he isn't as thin as when he
started his Fructose Malabsorption diet.
He
can eat ice cream if it doesn't have high fructose corn syrup in it. I
buy organic chocolate chip for him and he has it almost every night in
spite of the jello I usually have in the fridge.
I
mentioned to him the other day that I am going to start making more
pudding. The ice cream he eats has 200 calories per tablespoon. No
wait, 200 calories per teaspoon!
He didn't buy
it. He doesn't count calories like I do but he has some knowledge of
what is in what. Oh well. The pudding does have a lot less calories so
I will get in there and make some. When there is pudding, he picks
that over ice cream.
