Is that a shearing tool in his hand! .... Shear S e x y I say! Godess (sic -and you ARE sic):
Here's that photo you've been begging me to post. I hope it's high-res enough for you to laminate.
Love always,
Springy.

BTW all, these days I'm obsessed over rug-hooking an image of a loaded logging truck. Tough to explain.

Miss you all!!!!

rocks and bowls

I love my bowls! ...and they are lovely vessels for the lake pebbles to live in. Thanks D. Nice to hear from you Shepardess Dev. Never a dull moment on the farm hey. I had visions of " Mornin'Fred , ... Mornin' Ralph" ... the sheepdog and the wolf...loonie tunes. Dev, your the sheepdog, keeping your babies safe. :) Happy weekend to all.

hay hay hay,

Shepherdess here, missing my venusian friends, sounds like your all doing well... Farm is quiet and peaceful, yesterday two sheep got in with Red and Inky, got me into high gear quick, managed to get all separated pretty quick. Not sure if Im on the right track to add to the blog here goes, see what happens.......

Back to reality...

I saw the tag "Valencia" and I thought...I wonder what that means...well, V. does love orange, or maybe she's making reference to the apartment I lived in on West 2nd that i got evicted from...hmmm. Ha! I get it now...Val-encia. Funny how the mind works, or doesn't sometimes. Thanks for the great pics V. We'll get to the VAG when you return. This job is a short one. Have the most amazing trip.
It's the storm before the calm Dorita. Is this a theme you are familiar with or what! Thanks for the thoughts on the magnetic pull...good to think about the ways to get something aggravating to work for you, not against you!
OK my sweets...look forward to communication soon. xoRooster

Farm/City

While I was gone a piece of my art sold at a one night show at Centre A....very exciting. I have also been asked to participate in a show in Halifax as part of an installation piece which will have a story written about each artists component and then a video made of that story.. and then the whole show goes to Ottawa.....am excited but don't know what I will do. I will take my sausage to Haida Gwai and think about it. Will also work on my rusty farm bits sausage to start a Hillside piece. See you all when I get back from the Queen Charlottes. Just wanted to give you all a visual reminder of the Hillside Farm, Art, Lavendar Farm, Cheese Farm and Llama wrangling....

The storm before the calm...

Hey ladies, Well, we've got a week and a day until moving day! In the mean time I'm putting all that creative talent to use as I swim my way around half packed boxes of books to get to the kitchen for a cup of tea. My sausage spilleth over with cutouts from old magazines I've decided to toss, and I've decided to go through all my winter clothes to do a clear out for the second hand store... And it's all scattered through the living room at this very moment- making the chaos level in this tiny apartment a solid 10 out of 10. Erp. Farm life is sounding kinda sweet right now. haha

Rooster-girl! So sorry to hear about the photos!!! I'm sending enormous encouraging hugs your way as your magnetic field must be very strong right now to cause all electronics to blitz. Maybe a good day to buy a lotto ticket, too? haha! And I noticed we now have a guest reader on the blog- she commented on your photos from the farm!

Um, Godess-Do-it-Wrong-LaRoux. THE HOUSE?! updates. now.

I got a very charming note from Dev, as she gets herself figured out how to post, I'll put a snip:
"I'm well, house seems quiet, but its good, no complaints, animals all good, had delivery of new hay today, and they are all quiet munching it.. fixed hole in gate today as last night the 4 lambies slept on the front deck and had their heads through the cat flap at crack of dawn..... lil bugars." HAHA!!! Can't you just see that?!

Well, back to packing (with random distractions from magazine cutouts)... Let me say that my sausage is very exciting right now. Need more glue sticks.

Cheerio, D
