Copy Cat Copy Cat

 

Ann from SnapEditScrap sketches, I do a copy cat inspired by hers. She uses colored pencils, I paint in Procreate on my iPad. https://annssnapeditscrap.blogspot.com/

I combined the girl and the vine and changed from hearts to shamrocks.

Also combined the bunny and made the bird little peeps, biddies, chicks, diddles: all words for baby chickens

I copied this from a color book... like the 5 year old I have become...

Farmer: "Go round up all the sheep."

Dog: (Comes back) "I've got them all, all 40."

Farmer: "40?!? There should only be 37."

Dog: "I know, I rounded them up".

Ducks in the pond giggles

 I went to open the door to backyard, intending to water the potted plants with the hose. Behold,  Mama and Papa Duck were swimming and smiling and eating bugs, and enjoyed our 80 degree weather, the first 2 weeks of January. 

We love them, Beau will not bother them, but we don't want a flock of them on the pool deck doing you know what. 

In the past I just stomp my feet and make shhhhhh shhhh shhhh sounds and they lift up and  out like beautiful helicopters and are gone.

For some reason, I decided to see if I could spook them with the hose,  I turned it on low, like fat rain drops and they LOVED it. The male stood up

on his bottom, and danced in the rain with wings going back and forth like this one.

this is an old photo of a duck in a pond, that I took years ago.

The female swam round and round and I just let them enjoy the fake rain. 

She bathed and swam and they were so happy I hated to turn it off.

Poor sweeties have not seen rain in years. 

after they had fun and they were strutting around the pool deck and yard. and were picking up food, and the male came up with

one of my pet lizards in his mouth, about 3 inch long.

I said If you are eating my pets, shhhhhh shhhh shhhh and they were gone.

I did enjoy their show and our conversations. I also talk to the lizards, a lot!

Over the years we have had many stop in for a while, including one with 8 Babies.. Photos taken in 2023 in our pool, I need a DSLR

First Time Ever in 81 years

 

I SAW THE BLOOD MOON ON MARCH 3, 2026 AT 6 AM, THE PHOTO ABOVE IS FROM OUR LOCAL CHANNEL. We were watching the early news and it said the eclisspe will be in the next hour and gave the time. I stood and watch this sight, all photos from NBC 6 South Florida all I had was my cell phone. what I saw was exactly like this. Wow.

At 3 am when I let Beau out the moon was huge, white and Full, then the white looked like a sliver, like the one the cow jumped over in the poem. then as it turned it go like the one above and by the end I was blood red.
