Three creatures
The highlight of this week was a trip to the Honkey Donkey Farm...we saw many many miniature donkeys...they are very sweet creatures, healthy and quite affectionate. Although they are small, they bray like a big donkey, and that is probably the main reason it wouldn't be wise for me to have one here. Well, the flies would also be a problem, and it would be better to have two, so they wouldn't get lonesome. So, it doesn't look like any mini-donks are going to be living here, but here's a photo anyway, thanks to my friend Susan, who invited me on this wonderful outing and took the picture:

That is a most SPLENDID spotted pony afloat on his boat! If the mini donks provided inspiration then they most certainly have surpassed themselves :>]] Too cute for words, oh my......
ReplyDeleteoh, i love it. and black and white check is my favorite.
ReplyDeletei am joyful in realizing his spots are square!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sweetpea!
ReplyDeleteFrom life to cloth...this is so well done!
ReplyDeleteThe flower at the prow and mysterious moon
and eye give the whole thing an eerie reality.
Jude, he was trying to break out of his square-ness a little bit, but decided it suited him and he likes it after all, so he is floating on a little cushion of happiness!
ReplyDeletePatty...thanks...I like your phrase, "eerie reality"...I've begun to think all reality is a bit eerie, which is good...
ReplyDeleteOh that is just adorable! I just see the determination and attitude.
ReplyDeleteDeanna, thank you...me too...a long time ago I had a friend with a black and white checkered kitchen floor that I admired, and more recently Jude has woken my eyes up to the beauty of checkered fabric. This cloth has a little gray in the center of the checks so it has some depth...it doesn't show in the photo...
ReplyDeletethis is really funny! i am sitting here in
ReplyDeletethe dark laughing...the dogs don't know what
to do, i don't often laugh in the dark.
i came here to tell you that i laughed and
was delighted and surprised to know that you
get angry on Labor Day...how funny...but then
what am i met with? but this pony on the Nile
and jeez! there's a lot i don't know about
you yet, isn't there.
or
is it the influence of those nurses......
Hi Grace...I am really glad it made you laugh, cause knowing that makes me laugh too...it's true, I was mad all afternoon, then I took a nice long walk, a really nice long walk and then realized it's Labor Day and I always get mad on Labor Day, and once I realized that everything seemed better...maybe got it out of my system for another year, or little while anyway...thanks!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the spotted pony...so quirky, floating down the nile. What an adventure for a spotted pony!!!
ReplyDeleteThose little donkeys are gorgeous...I would have been tempted to take one home too.
Jacky xox
Hi Jacky...good to hear from you...last night I did some more work on the spotted pony, but I'm thinking maybe I should have left well enough alone...I guess it needs a day or 2 to settle...
ReplyDeleteThey do look sweet...and ever so tempting to take home.
ReplyDeleteI am loving your Spotted Pony floating down the Nile...looks like there is a light breeze, judging by the tail and the palm.
Hello Mo'a...yes, just a light breeze...perhaps he needs a mane too...
ReplyDeleteSpotted pony is awesome! I too love the check as well as the tail blowing in the wind. His eye is great-that expression! And now I am also in love the miniature donkeys! Think I could have one in my apartment in Hollywood?
ReplyDeleteThose little donkeys are so cute! And I love your checkerboard donkey, "floating down the Nile." I've missed the blog world and since the worst of our renovation is just about to begin, it will be a while before I get back, I guess, but I just wanted to drop in and say "Hello!" I've left a September update on my blog, and then my worries over current events, which I think means I need an art project to keep me centered!! Keep well and safe. And give Agnes a kiss for me! xo Kari
ReplyDeleteHi Cobalt Violet...I think it is the same problem everywhere...although they are so adorable, they make a very loud noise, and the neighbors would have to be deaf or very very understanding. Alas, the likelihood is not good. Your photos are amazing...
ReplyDeleteKari, I'm so so glad you've reappeared, if only for a short visit. I do miss you, and hope the renovation goes well...such things drag on and on, but it so worthwhile in the end...now I'm off to visit your blog...(Agnes says hello!)
ReplyDeleteYour spotted pony is delightful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen!
ReplyDeleteThis litle cloth is just beautiful! Everything is just perfect! ;from the colours you've used to the layout and shape of the boat! Spotted horse looks so blissful with his fact to the wind!
ReplyDeleteHi Puddleduck...thank you! I'm so glad you stopped by...
