Chucky's cousin...Bob...

 Just when you thought it was safe...

 There she is, making "Cracked in the Head" nightlights...

Isn't this head just 'the bomb'!!!

Thanks Brandon, I'm so glad you grabbed these babies!

And this great lamp base came from Sisters...where else!!!

 The twins are finally ready...finding matching bases

for these lil' charmers was a real chore, but not to worry,

this crazy fool is always on the loose!

 And as always, my words of wisdom...

BE AFRAID...!!!

White Witch...

 A gift from a friend is a treasure chest of promise...

 Ingredients...

sterling silver, copper, pewter, bone, shell, ivory, African beads,

seed, glass, deer antler, buffalo tooth...

Welcome to my house Steph...BFF...

and thank you so much for the charms,

they will be loved!

Tapestry pillows...new chair...

 Well, not exactly a new chair, but new color...

black, I love it with the buckskin colored leather cushion!

This old mahogany chair has been with me a long time, 

it's a big butt chair, so very roomy

and the new pillows look FABU on it!

Minstrel and dancer

Polar bears

Brown bears

Puppies and kittens

Zebra

 

 These are the small tapestries that just don't sell in the shops

these days, but I love them, so decided to make pillows

out of them, but the last two, I just can't seem to do,

they are just too cool as tapestries and perfectly

fit the darker decor or my room now...

A bit blury, but hey, it's still dark outside...and foggy,

so it'll be awhile before I get good lighting...sooooo...

think I'll have another cup o java

and wait for the sun!

Shadow Shot Sunday..Ed & Autumn...

 ED...

 and Autumn mums...

 Autumn settings...

 at Sister's Garden and Bloom

check out the awesome wallpaper in the cupboard...

and guests...

This is what happens when you buy two chairs at Sisters...

you are compelled to buy a bottle of wine,

maybe some cheese and crackers...

and just sit on the grounds near the corn fields

and just drink in the fun and the fall of the leaves

on a beautiful Autumn day in Iowa, USA...ahhhh...!

OR

You can head south to Australia, where the rest of us are...

Shadow Shot Sunday...

right kids!!!

American Peckers...

This is what free range chickens do when they are playing outside...
they peak into the house to see whassup...

This is what they do when incarcerated...

You throw in a slice of hay/straw and they start scratchin' & peckin'...

Ahhhhh...free again...I'll watch out for that pesky hawk mum...
just another day at the ranch.

Curiouser and curiouser...

Sumthin' amok in the hen yard...

Hmmmmmm...

 

Whilst mowing the grass the other day, I noticed an unusual amount of feathers in one location, could it be a predator...a chicken hawk...perhaps...or a neighbors cat or stray dog...

Louie....

 Turning off the mower, I ran to do a head count, the birds were right behind me, following the mower for bugs unveiled...all were accounted for!

But on closer inspection, Louis was looking rather ruffled, missing feathers for sure, even a couple of flight feathers were gone...I remember sitting at the grooming table and noticing the shadow of a large bird fly by, then it flew back the other way, I looked out the window hoping to see what it was...nuthin!!!

But then I heard a distress call from the hens, nuthin' unusual, I hear them all the time...guess next time I'll come a runnin', as red tail hawks abound in my neck o the woods...all in a day at the ranch!!!

New...

You probably didn't know that I have pachyderm-love...

I respect elephants...!

I  have cravings for change

my soul unsettled, wanders

the ripples of tides set free

by the moon...

to crave yearnings of what might be

when I seek the open eye of the guardian

 in the sky, the pachyderm

my constellation

sways in the heart of Virgo

remember.

I have a new blog for the dreamer

Air Bohemia

this blog is a ladder to my constellation

in the eye of the elephant

completing the total Iowa scene...

vintage vehicles dotted the landscape,
adding to the feel of the ol' timey farm life...
I have truck envy!!!

Can't you just see me making deliveries
with my car loaded with soap and eggs...LOL...

The little glass house gleams in the summer sun...

as the last of summer whites
and warm breezes...

make way for Autumn harvests...

begging you inside out of the wind...

as the Farm Style open house begins...

buddy Brandon transform his room
next to mine in Sisters'...a little blurry,
but this creative jumping bean is hard to catch,
as he busies himself to his craft...
