What Oh What Did I Discover Outside Of My Home???
What Was It That I Discovered Over The Weekend? ..
Was it A drawing, a dog or a tart pink monkey beer? haha.. All three I suppose would be correct! Lets start with the puppy.. Molly. She was such a good girl this weekend. The weather was AWESOME so I decided to wash the cars and spend "get it done" time outdoors. I am paying for my stupidity though, since I forgot to apply sunscreen. Bad me. Bad me.
[insert picture of red arms and face here]
Ummmm .. NO! hehe
Molly enjoyed the sunshine too.. and also the shade. I was just about done the washing of the fleet, when mommy and Molly came out to chill with me in the shade. (I may or may not have found beer at this point). She is a lot better trained (and I use that term very loosely) then Pepper was. You could also say she is much more fearful, so she tends not to wander too far when in the front yard. In the back yard, a totally different story.
She was a good girl and chilled out on a soft towel I had laid on the ground. It typical Molly Style, she was also playing the don't take my picture game. So the following were shot to the best of my ability, given the typical coxing tactics ...
The Jeep Is All Clean!!!
It needed it too. I usually don't go so long without bathing her, but for some strange reason I was super busy and never got around to it. There was still some residual mud on the tires and undercarriage, from the great Christmas tree hunt. Sooooo.. A little bit of extra elbow grease was required.
Here she is looking so clean and so white! Not too bad. I need to give her a wax too. I don't know about you, but I hate waxing, so I will leave that for another day. Can't wait to take the top and doors off permanently.. Come on summer!
Every tough task completed, where I didn't end up frustrated, deserves a beer! And that's what I rewarded myself with.. A nice cold, tart beer! I was never really a big fan of tart or sour beer, but they have really grown on me in the last year or so. Even though I have been a big fan of Victory beers for years, this one was new to me. And I liked it!!!
The Beer! ..
Made by Victory Brewery
'TART MONKEY'
A Session Sour Ale with Guava
ACL/VOL 4.9%
The Twist .. The Discovery of the Day ..
And this is where things get a bit weird. I was pulling a few weeds in the mulched beds at the front of the house, as I was putting the hose away and turning off the water. It isn't a rare thing, unfortunately, to pick up trash out of the yard or bushes. People are so rude and disrespectful, often throwing their trash out the window as they drive by.
Today I noticed a white piece of paper out of the corner of my eye. It was laying in one of the basement window wells near the water spigot shut off.
Upon a closer inspection, I noticed that it was a very simple drawing. It appears to be a hand, holding a bunch of reeds, grass or possibly weeds. You tell me what you think?
THEN I REALIZE SOMETHING!!!!!
**While I am taking a picture of this drawing, for my blog, I notice something very VERY weird. The drawing is depicting the exact thing that I am doing. It appears to be my hand holding a bunch of grass or weeds! How crazy is this.. What Irony!!!
I guess it's the wrong hand, but SO WEIRD anyhow. So Weird.
What Do You Think?
Strange or what?
The things I Discover in the yard, sometimes boggle my mind .. hehe

About Me ~ The Artist
My art work incorporates a wide variety of subject matter, including landscape, seascape, cityscape, and still life images. My works are the product of a continuing process of exploration through which I seek to portray personal and visionary interpretations of my surroundings. My paintings are impressions of places and events from everyday life, an interpretation of my imagination, and personal responses to what I see and feel on a daily basis. More recently I have invested generous amounts of time into my landscape painting. I am surrounded by natural and man made beauty, which inherently presents itself in the tri-state area, and almost demands that I paint it.
Not everything is art. Art is not everything, but it comes close. Art is everywhere and all the time. Art makes you experience the beauty of the world, the people in it, and the places we call home. Art itself is so influential that it can tell stories, show feelings, and express passion or fury. Art exists in addition to language; expression of sensations and thoughts, revealing a way of thinking too subtle and delicate for words.
For me art requires love, honesty and perseverance. In return, it reveals some personal, non-analyzable, and creative untamed passion. For the public, art with its magnificent beauty, improves mood and health and builds better human beings and communities. It engages the intellect, softens the heart, strengthens the soul and frees the spirit.
If Your Interested In Purchasing Any Of My Work:
They can be found for sale on
Saatchi Art
Or
Etsy
If you don't see the piece in either shop, It may still be drying. Let me know and I can upload it as soon as possible to be available. Or you can always make me an offer (in HBD, Hive or any other crypto) in the comments section of this post. If we agree on a price, I will then ship the painting to you. (shipping costs will be determined by your location).

❤️ Molly ❤️ Jeep and 😱 the pic...aaaaaaawkward but yet cool. A mystery, a sign, ghosts, spirits, foresights? Mysterious indeed.
Say Hi to your wifey from me...sending you hugs and watch out...the pic...you never know 😉 🤗
Yeah.. Molly and the Jeep are pretty cool.. BUT THAT PIC!!!! 😳😵😱 "Welcome to the Twilight Zone".
Wife says hello.. I think I caught a foot in one of the pics.. lol. She thinks that picture was weird too. I usually pick up empty liquor bottles, fast food trash, and other trash.. But never a piece of art depicting the exact thing I was doing at the time! From another dimension maybe??? hehe.
Probably lol. I like that story and it will have you think once in a while ;).
Btw I just shared some memories of my Molly if you like to check it out. On May 4th she passed away 😔 .
Just did! The Great Pistachio Disaster .. A day you will never forget. And the best $7 you ever spent! 😁
Lol for sure. It was like in a bad movie, or a funny one lol 😂
😆
Thank you @bdmillergallery for sharing your story, love molly ahe looks quite a cheeky girl, the drawing of the hand is so awesome and weird at the same time. Also like the Jeep, have an awesome dsy and don't forget the sun screen.Have a great day.
Yes Yes Yes.. Must remember the sunscreen! 😁 Molly is quite the "Cheeky" gal. We love her to the moon. Thanks for appreciating my other old gal.. the Jeep. I hope your day is an awesome one too and thanks for stopping by and dropping a comment!😊
Only a pleasure @bdmillergallery really enjoyed your post, looking forward to more from you. Have a great day.
Ah the sight of a freshly cleaned up jeep... Is a feast for the eyes. I also get very red if I stay in the sun for long, I seek shade mostly
I love the shade, but when the built our home, they did not plant many trees.. just 2! and they are small. oh well. Yes, when I go on vacation to say the Caribbean.. I am the one in the shade all day! The shade is our friend 😁
White vehicles always look really nice when freshly cleaned. Hope all is well with you 😊
Thank you, I am great. I guess you could plant more trees in order to have better shade
Wow, that is pretty weird! It looks like it was a relatively good drawing too. Much better than I would have been able to accomplish. At least the jeep is a soft top, so that is a little less waxing that you have to do. I have never tried any of the sour beers yet. I really don't drink a ton of beer like I used to. I'd still like to try one some day though.
I hated the sour beers at first, but they have grown on me.
I love the soft top! Easy up and easy down.. I have gotten pretty good at it.
How about that drawing.. mind still wondering where it came from. The world may never know 🙃
Busy day!
Who is Pepper? Sorry, I'm missing part of your life, lol. Molly is so adorable.
Did I tell you that I have small dogs? Yes, Yorkshire Terriers.
Jeep, jeep!! Very pretty! Especially when they are shiny... or dirty... hehehe!'
How weird is that? What does the paper mean? What does the artwork mean?
Ahhh... art is everywhere and all the time!
The first article a read this morning... and is pleasant.
Thank you!
Have a good day, @bdmillergallery!
Awww.. My Pepper Boy. I miss him so. My heart still hurts. Forever I think. He was my best friend for 14 years, and left me this past September 12th 😥...

Such a bundle of life and curiosity. I liked to include him in my posts. Wherever I was, he was not far behind. Molly went through a rough period of time (as we did). Her brother was her life for soooo long. Two peas in a pod those two were. She is a bit lost without him and I feel terrible that there is nothing I can do about it. It breaks my heart ☹️
Our neighbors down the street had a couple of Yorkies. They are so cute and just a bit smaller than our Molly. Molly weighs in at 7 pounds. I think your dogs are a bit less than that. I will have to scroll back through your posts to see if you have posted about your babies 😊
I really love my Jeeps, I had several through the years.. this one I like the best so far. And like Silver, it's worth way more now than what I had paid for it or put into it. It was a good investment for sure. Not too bad in the fun department either.
Oh My Gosh.. The art was truly weird and unexpected. Possibly something to talk about on the front porch of an old Victorian home, whilst sipping tea 😁
