Art Journal… Day 3

Posted in Art Journal, Main, Sharing the Handmade Love at 10:46 pm by carrie



At first I painted this and thought… it need’s something… something furry. A squirrel! Then I was reminded about my Mom’s encounter with a squirrel in Burbank (or is it Glendale?). The squirrel stopped her in her tracks and put out his hands… like… “feed me!” The brazen little squirrel was obviously accustomed to handouts… but I thought… perhaps, in his little squeaky voice he was really saying “Hand over the purse, lady”.

Just thinkin’ out loud is all.

Theoretically, North Carolina is in a state of emergency. But really, here in the triangle, we’ll get some wind… a possible power outage or two. Sort of like the Santa Ana Winds I’m assuming (where I lost a window and door at the store). It’s really only going to be a storm here inland, it’s those on the coast who need to worry… but we did stock up on supplies… you know, the usual… batteries, canned goods, granola bars and beer. I guess the locals call a hurricane a chance to get together and party… the first thing off the shelves at the super Teeter is beer.

We moved to the right place.*

(*In all honesty, I’m not a beer drinker… I like fancy girly drinks that require ice, a blender and a fancy umbrella. Someone I know… who is it??? Has a diesel-powered blender… must find out who that is).

Here’s to new weather experiences!

    The attitude of that Burbank squirrel seems similar to the ones I’ve got here . . . . they stare at the cats through the glass door and yell (I think they’re using ‘R-rated’ language) and I swear they ‘flip the bird’ at my felines. Maybe it’s these CA squirrels . . . feisty.

    Yes! That’s exactly what the squirrel looked like that accosted me. He saw me walking by, zooooomed over on the grass and then stopped abruptly at the curb and just demanded something…not sure what. Geez, I thought he was charging me and was going to attack. But then he seemed to get annoyed that I didn’t get it, and with tail twitching annoyingly, he zoomed off again.
