…for all your lovely thoughts.
Sad as I am, I wouldn’t trade the 16 wonderful years I had with my baby Jeep. 16 years ago she was on our roof.
Jeep ” You walked out of my dreams, and into my arms (ahh)
Now you’re my angel divine”
Rebecca Budd, host of
had GLAM (aka moi) on her podcast. From her home in Vancouver (click on Tea Toast & Trivia to go there), to mine in Toronto
we talked everything Street + Alleys + Art.
Yes, I was a bit squirrelly at first, and think I sound like a chipmunk. However, Don her in residence Sound Man/Audio Engineer did a great job at making it all sound fab. Thank you, Don!
In the end I couldn’t be stopped. I sang like a bird.
Rebecca, here’s some Thank you flowers for you!

That’s my tree under the centre of the rainbow. It lives on Tim’s place in New Mexico, with others’ trees under the rainbow.
My tree has inspired me for several years now. Perhaps because Tim & I get a kick out of music parodies, I can’t stop singing “My Tree” to the tune of “My Girl”.
I’ve got sunshine
On a cloudy day
And when it’s cold outside
I’ve got the month of May
I guess you’ll say – What can make me feel this way
My tree
My tree
My tree
Talking bout my tree
My tree
For those of you who don’t know the song, or who would like to hear it again here is – My Tree .. ahem Girl. “My Girl”
I call it Tim’s Magic Tree Sanctuary. The trees come in especially handy for the “Gowntoons”. Thank you dear Tim, for my tree!

It’s lots of fun celebrating CHICKMAS at The Coop! Gigi has made this in 3 posts, so here I have put them all together. Thank you Gigi! Adore you!
Twas’ the night before Chickmas
Twas’ the night before Chickmas
and all through The Coop
the chicklets were playing
with their hula hoops
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
in hopes that St. Chicklaus soon would be there
the chicklets were sleeping
all snug in their beds
while visions of corn bread
danced fast in their heads
the hens in their kerchiefs
the roosters in caps
didn’t have time
for a long
winter’s nap
when out on the lawn
there arose such a clatter
they ran to the window
to see what was the matter
and what to their wondering eyes
did appear
but a miniature sleigh
and one tiny reindeer
as they drew in their heads
they heard a new sound
and there was St. Chicklaus
when they turned around
There were gifts for the chicklets
the hens and the cats
the dogs and the roosters
the horses and bats
the cows and the goats
the birds and the ducks
even the pigs and the squirrels were in luck
all were included
it’s always that way
so everyone there
had the very best day
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL MY WP PALS!
Two years ago I put all the Twelve Days of Chickmas (also by Gigi) into 1 post. It’s lots of fun to read. Just click on the card below, to go there!
Now that I’ve stopped the salty discharge from my eyes, I must thank 4 of my blog pals, Gigi, Holly, Beth and Dale for their sweet birthday wishes.
Holly – House of Heart wrote this beautiful poem for me. She used this photo and the song “Dance To the Music” by Sly & the Family Stone. The link is hot and will take you to the post!
Ascending the
Cantilever staircase as light
as a blizzard of feathers
her hair is the color of passion fruit gathered from a late summer orchard, her eyes as soft as butterfly wings lit high on pear shaped cheekbones.
She is a rhapsody,
a melody of mirth. With a wink
and a smile she invites us in to her world of silk and tapestry.
– Holly Rene Hunter
Beth used a pic of my new Art Gown.
Beth wrote:
you are an amazing talent
telling stories with your styles
making real life connections
between people in the realm of blogs
may you never stop creating art gowns, finding meaningful art in murals,
and being an incredibly creative and inspiring part of our story.

For Our Lovely Sorceress, Resa
She sent fireworks & flowers, and a pic I drew of The gang of AGMs! Click on the drawing and see Dale’s full post!
Last but not least, the instigator – Gigi!
Gigi went all out with a Chicklet drawing (which is the header for this post), and pointing out how much I love animals:
She included my art on the guitar Tim made. However, the best part is I’m finally getting credit for my “Egg Dance”.

Click on the “Egg Dance” pic and see this wonderful birthday wish!
I am deeply touched by all who left birthday wishes on the Mush Heads’ blogs.
It’s overwhelming, and would take me days to answer you all in the comments. So this is for you and the Mush Heads. 2 bouquets of roses, and a photo of me taking a bath!
Much love to all!
Feeling a bit mushy these last weeks. Apparently you can’t reblog twice. Holly did this post on October 29, 2020. Loved it then. Love it now. Her message is more important now than ever. Yes, I did the costumes in the vid.

Resa and Norm
Recently I came across a photograph of our lovely Fashionista, Resa McConaghy, and her beloved Norm.
Norman is a GUITAR PLAYER & COMPOSER. They lived in Miami for almost a year in the 80’s. Norman was working on writing songs and had an arrangement with a recording studio there. They lived in an amazing older home on Miami Beach. It was quite grand with a Florida Room and a maid’s apartment along the side. Per Resa, The original owners must of had a fab life there. They were renting it from an Argentine businessman who had bought it.
When they returned with Norm’s songs it led to a record deal in the 1990’s.
Norman at work!
Love is What is Needed
by Holly Rene Hunter
Here in paradise
the sun goes down on the
crescent shore of an empty beach
she found herself with a guitar man
and A life time of memories
It seemed so clear then and now
love is what is needed
I Can Never Thank Holly Enough For Her Friendship!
