Settled in the Maritimes of Canada, surrounded by the forest and Acadian Mountain Chain, I live a simple life of gratitude. This blog is a journal of my art, food, furkids, garden, home, my life and my thoughts. Thanks for reading!

🎨For our 🎨 Art Date 🎨, today's optional prompt is Matches! Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it! Bugs seems a little down and out as he lights one his "Strike Anywhere" matches...must have been a dame! 😊 I drew this with charcoals. "We don't need no stinkin' matches!" - that's my silly sense of humour, anyone get it?
I have nothing for our dinner date! I'm on an elimination diet to figure out what's up with my intestinal health. But I did manage to draw this striking match with pastels. I made the corners fancy with Photoshop! 😊😊
This is a great scene from the movie "For A Few Dollars More", directed by Sergio Leone. A "Spaghetti Western" because it was filmed in Italy. In this scene Lee Van Cleef strikes a match on one of the villains, played by Klaus Kinski. He lights his match on the guy's hunchback, stirring up trouble in the old Italian West!

🎨For our 🎨 Art Date 🎨, today's optional prompt is Coffee Shop! Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it! Bugs and I dream of a vacation in Paris right now, enjoying a café latté and people watching. Instead, I took the opportunity to try to recreate Van Gogh's "Café Terrace at Night". I have no new videos to share, not even any foodie photos! I've become so busy again, back to the books for the next 6 months!! What are you up to my friends?

🎨For our 🎨 Art Date 🎨, today's optional prompt is DANCE! Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it! Bugs Bunny is rockin' his track suit and doing a little break dancing! He makes the "handstand freeze" look easy! To be accurate, the style is called "breaking" or "b-boying".
I'm turning the clock back 40 years (yikes)...I went to Break Dance '84 with my friends. I was 16 and hung out with the breaking troop Mystic Crew. They competed in this and I think they won 3rd prize. It was SO MUCH FUN to watch these guys and gals breaking, spinning, freezing and popping! It's a very athletic and acrobatic dance style.
Here is my "Breaking Silhouette" painted with acrylics
I was very much into dancing in the 80's. I knew the "Thriller" dance by heart! I could also moonwalk. My friend Bertram from the Mystic Crew taught me the "arm wave", the "robot" and the "electric boogaloo", but I could never master the moves where you had to rely on arm strength. Weak wrists!!!
Time for a snack after all of that dancing. For our 😋 Dinner Date!! 😋 I made a very comforting and healthy Lentil Soup with Spinach. Click on the link for the written recipe and see below for the video recipe!
Jack and Raven
We got a little bit of snow on New Year's Eve but it's pretty much melted already. It feels like spring here in the Maritimes and I have to say I'm not hating it!
I'll be visiting your blogs this week my friends, I want to catch up on the TADD posts I've missed! And I want to thank those who sent me lovely holiday cards...it always warms my heart 💚to receive snaily mail! 🐌
