I'faith, he did live through a "bounce-back"
Came into the studio say "Dad, you warned me. . . " It's tough raising little adults sometimes.

"Don't shoot a songbird" lecture seems to have gotten traction.

Happy New Year to you and CMW!

I originally came to Europe to finish my "Great American Anti-Novel," got three-quarters of the way finished, and then started painting. I rationalized, "Nobody will ever buy a chapter of a novel to hang on the wall, but paintings . . . hmmmm. :think: "

It's tough. I've had this story, complete, in my head for 20 years. I'm just now trying to put it on paper, and I still struggle with it. And I have 3 more in the works after this, plus a bunch of short stories! Oyoyoy

48. Howdy Heidi
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spent the evening working on this computer with one of my guests, I love staying at the farm but
the computer was so slow. It was so full of spyware and other crap, but we have it running like new, using the computer was like watching paint dry.

I get to spend another week here before going back home, I don't want to go back. It is so peaceful and quiet here, I love taking care of the farm. A baby calf was born a few days ago, I watched the birth, mother and baby are doing fine.

I hope your holiday went well, I had a good time.

here, she would live here if I let her.

All my guests are gone but three, they will be staying for a few more days. This little farm is magic, come here and turn into a sane person.

And yes, I do plan to travel safely there and back again, to paraphrase JRR Tolkien!

82. Howdy Heidi from the farm, my last two guests are sleeping so I have
the house to myself. I am listening to my neighbor an owl which is hooting right outside the window, I haven't heard that sound in a long time.

So how are things going for you.:popcorn:

85. The temp here is around 50 right now, a lot cooler then what it was,
Last night we had the fans on, we are having weird weather here.

Really can't complain, no flooding and no fire.

88. There once was a Nighthawk named "Bloom Blap"
There once was a Nighthawk named "Bloom Blap"
Who flew a dark kite in the Salt Flat
She stubbed on her toe, fell down and said, "OH"
Then picked up herself and caught a bat

The bat was in a cave deep down low
The gods there had never seen a crow
They had seen a chigger, but not one much bigger
Than the scab on her little stubbed toe

Thank you! Thank you very much! :hi:

But I'll bet that the healthier you get, and the further away from the sense of loss you get, the more this will look like a beginning. Give it time, and don't ever give up on _you_ and your health, my friend. :hug:

117. Hey Heidi and Her 'Hawks
Still up late, uploading another set of images for some lucky model to peruse and choose. :)

Who knew there was so much "back-end" work involved? :) But it's pretty fun to see how stuff turns out.

As soon as the files upload, I'll head home and get some sleep.

Hope everyone is doing well!

138. Heidi, one of my housemates just emailed me to say that a cat
that looks like Ginger, ( she has seen his pictures) is eating the catfood we leave out on the top of the shed for the wildlife that comes by to eat at night. We get all kinds of cats that come by but this cat is a new one. Say hello to Ginger for me.

139. Is that just strange????????
You let that baby eat all he or she wants, OK? We often hear from people who say they know a cat who looks just like Ginger. The funny thing is, although Ginger looks pretty much like all Burmese cats, he's not a pedigreed cat. His mom is a grey-furred female from a farm on the alp, and his father is a black tuxedo cat. ;)

I'll give Gingi a big belly rub from his Aunt texanwitch, OK? :hug:
