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!
Welcome my Friends, to Thursday's Art and Dinner Date! ππ
π¨For our π¨ Art Date π¨, today's optional prompt is Extinct Creatures! Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it! And please showcase your foodie posts too for our π Dinner Date!! π
Announcement: After much thought, I have decided to go on a permanent blog break. My education and business ventures are leaving me little time for much else! I have to focus my life in that area, so blogging will be collateral damage I'm afraid! I will still host the weekly Art and Dinner Date until the end of the year, then after that, my blogging journey will end! I just want to give a genuine thanks to all those who have participated over the years and also those who have been so supportive! I've made some lovely friendships throughout the years!
I guess my blog is becoming extinct!
If anyone wants to take over the TADD in the new year, let me know! Thanks Friends!! ♥♥

What is this creature near my garbage bins??? (click to enlarge)
The trail cam picked it up, at first I thought it was a wild turkey, then a dog...now I'm not so sure. I zoomed in/embiggened and I still can't figure it out! Any ideas friends?

⬆️⬆️ Here is my Cat in the Hat!
⬆️⬆️ I also drew a top hat inspired by Fred Astaire!

π¨For our π¨ Art Date π¨, today's optional prompt is Embossed! Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it! I KNOW this was a toughie my friends! And I seriously was wondering what I was thinking when I came up with this prompt lol...I write all the art prompts for the coming year in November and they surprise me just as much as they surprise you!! ☺
So, one of the definitions of embossed is "decorated with a design that stands out in relief"...I tried to do foil embossing art and it just didn't work out so I opted for some 3D trick art! Tweety seems to be popping out of the page!
⬆️⬆️They look guilty of something! Jack is still doing very well my friends! Always happy to report that! ♥
LOTS OF BIRDS!!!
Chickadee - don't worry he landed on top of the trail cam, didn't fly into it!
Blue Jays
Grackle Fight! (Kind of Matrix-y isn't it?)
Hairy Woodpecker, Grackle and some Mourning Doves (I'm sure it's a Hairy because I've seen this fella all week and he has quite a long bill!)
πFor our π Dinner Date π, I had fun in the kitchen in the last week! I made some of my French Baguettes.
⬆️⬆️ And we need to dip those baguettes into something don't we? How about some Marinara Sauce! After this is all cooked, I blend it so it's nice and smooth - perfect for bread dippin'!

π¨For our π¨ Art Date π¨, today's optional prompt is Twisted! Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it! Bugs is enjoying a carrot martini with a twist of lime!
Comments: I counted 79 comments that I posted on Wednesday morning and I didn't get that message. I know I left a lot less comments on Blogs last week, so who really knows why I got shut down like that!
⬆️⬆️ I also painted a watercolor seahorse with a little twisted tail! I was just playing around with dots!
CALLING ALL BIRDING FRIENDS!!!
⬆️⬆️ I got some nice photos from the trail cam. I've been trying to distinguish Ravens from Crows. I consulted my birding book and I'm a little confused about the tail feather shape. According to my book's drawings, they really look like Ravens...but they don't seem to have the shagginess of a Raven. Are these American Crows?
⬆️⬆️ This is the heartbreaking scene I see any time I leave the house! Oh the guilt lol!!! Jack is still stable!!
