Yes, but starting today the days will be getting longer. Take that darkness!!

I’m currently approaching Stage 3.

Wow! Hope you are safe from the flood waters.

My 27 year old Jack-o-Lantern. Yes, it’s really 27 years old. I won a pumpkin carving contest at work with it, then it sat outside in the cold dry air for a few weeks. It never rotted. It just dried up. Last year I painted it with casein to brighten the color back up as it had faded a bit.

Buddy.
My mom’s dog crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday. He was a good boy. Rest easy Buddy.

My daily reminder.

Square? Nah. You were intelligent, funny, eccentric, creative, thoughtful, and philosophical. And you’re still all of those things.
I remember when you and Joriel made that journey west. I think the Emerald City suits you.
The Haptown Robot approves. Beep boop.

Vacation time. Painting on the beach. Here’s hoping my nuts and bolts don’t rust.

I used to like tacos. Now, not so much.

Taking a break from painting and drawing to listen to Johnny Smith. And I can’t listen to Johnny Smith without thinking about the late great Miguel Tormé. Cheers Miguel!
