Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler
I don't have a funny from The Word Man today but I found a good one on the internet for the Fourth that sounds like something he would say!
Why did the duck say bang? Because he thought he was a firequacker.
Don't groan too loud.
Today we celebrate!

I am so pleased to be back to working with a brush! I have been spending a long time working on a portrait of my son and his girlfriend in pastels. I love pastels because it is such a direct medium and the texture is like nothing else, but they do take a long time to build up.
I am pleased so far and will begin the final stage soon but right now I want to work with a brush. I have a lot of ideas for more oil paintings of The Peaks of Otter that I want to get to right after I complete the second stage of Paris Joy!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler
I am so proud of Clyde! He has lost twelve pounds and has about eight to go. As I have said before, a well-balanced diet plus calorie counting is the best way to lose weight and maintain weight loss.
No, you can't eat huge slabs of pie or eat mounds of french fries unless you work it off the way our ancestors did every day with farm work or similar exercise.
But you can have things you like to eat. He has no complaints and when he loses all the weight he can up his calorie count to a maintenance number.
We were talking about all the other awful ways of losing weight, including Weight Watchers which is actually a great program but who wants to attend meetings?
Clyde said you can't be a Weight Watchers Anonymous like Alcoholics Anonymous. Everybody knows.
Your gut will not set you free!

I am determined to get out today and go to the lake. I just wish it were a lot hotter. I'm sure that water is like ice water with all this cool weather. I will get in. I have learned to take a very cold shower with my bathing suit on and then the water is not such a shock to the system.
My guys are at work so I will go alone. That's okay. I have never had much of a problem being alone. I think artists tend to be that way so they can be crazy without people mentioning it all the time.
I'm a happy wacko and I don't need to be straightened out.
The temperature is rising. Yea!!!!!

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler
Now that Clyde and I have been married for about 100 years I am starting to worry about his longevity. I can't imagine life without The Word and Bird Man.
No marriage is perfect and there are times I want to set fire to all his stuff in the Computer room but we do get along real well and I hope we die together.
When I was a kid I liked to read Greek myths and there was one about a woman being granted one wish and she wished she and her husband would die together. I thought that was a great wish.
I told Clyde that he had to last as long as me because I didn't want anyone else.
He replied, "Why, do you think you will do worse? Did I set the bar that low?
Now that was a fun retort. He keeps me laughing!

We are back from The Peaks of Otter and I am under a pile of work. Yuck! The weather is gorgeous. I can see it from my window, well, sort of. We still have some paper covering most of it to try to ward off birds that keep banging into their reflection.
Still, I know it is a great day and maybe I will see it up close after I sort through everything I have to do. Onwards and upwards and then out the doorwards.

Life with The Word and Bird Man - Clyde Kessler
We got away for a few days. Since Clyde's knee is still bothering him we decided to visit the beautiful Peaks of Otter resort! What a great place! I have done many paintings of the Peaks!
Anyway, since we were only going to be gone for a few days we didn't ask a neighbor to check on our house and phone messages. There isn't a lot of valuable stuff to steal in our house so we don't worry about that.
Clyde said, if they take the computer, fine.
After a pause he added we couldn't get that lucky.
Considering how it has sucked up so much of my time and I have been known to threaten to re-locate it to the ground outside the window I can see why he said that.
We had a great time! Clyde's laptop had so many things wrong with it that I couldn't get any work done!
Now that is a vacation!

This time of the year I often take pictures for painting ideas. Most of my paintings are interpretive works from photographs that I take but sometimes I get one that I prefer to present in my Creative photograph series.
Recently I took some pictures of a Great Spangled Friterally and here is one I decided to post in my wildlife photographs album. I have not met the medium I don't like!

Unlike a lot of people, especially kids, I love broccoli! I look forward to Tuesday night when we get Chinese and I always get a broccoli dish. Actually, to be more accurate, I always get chicken and broccoli but it is embarrassing that I always get the same thing.
Nothing is as good as chicken and broccoli. Anyway, sometimes the broccoli is fantastic and sometimes it is a little less then fantastic and I am getting to the point that I can tell by looking before the first bite.
I told Clyde I must be some sort of broccoli psychic. He said maybe I am a broccoli whisperer. I think that is a bit much.
Oh well, there are a lot of great broccoli jokes on the internet. I love the one where the broccoli says I don't like you either!

Well, it is that time of year again. Another contribution to my Ant Chronicles. Last year wasn't very bad and I am hoping for a good summer with little ant activity.
We have tried every ant cure in the entire world and still see ants. So far I keep seeing one in the bathroom which is weird. I asked Clyde why there is only one.
He said it is scouting the place out before getting on a horn and calling in the troops. I don't doubt it.
Saw a cute joke on the internet about ants. Why was the little ant confused? All his uncles were ants. Love it!
