Trauma?

Oh, dear.

My grand son drew this picture while he was here last week:



Clearly, it is the tick I tweezed off his little chest.

And I totally recognize the dots as bacteria from his favored book, The Gas We Pass: The Story of Farts.
Also, we had a conversation a couple of times about the feelers/antennae on bugs.


I am worried that this is a sign of trauma to his sensitive nature.

    Or its just a little boy drawing bugs. Here's a cute tip that my daughter does with her day care kids. When they draw something neat, she traces it on material and embroiders the picture on the cloth, makes the edges cute and makes a little hanging pillow.

    I would say that he really is able to express himself with his art. Who know all that is going through that head, but at least he has an outlet with his artwork.

    Or maybe he is a budding scientist. Look on the bright side.

    Well, sure . . . it could be any one of those innocent little things already suggested...

    Or...
    It could be that he's foretelling his own BLOOD POISONING from the TICK!
    LOOK AT THOSE RADIATING LINES!!!!

    Just kidding.

    Hmmm, looks like something from outer space to me. But, seriously, watch out for those ticks. They are nasty little things. I've had Lyme Disease three times -- it's no prob. if you catch it right away, but no fun if you don't.

    I think he is going to be a very artist scientist! Don't panic Grandma!

    Pretty awesome tick...or sun...or alien. Probably just having fun figuring out his artistic abilities. Whatever it may be, it's cute and worthy of a spot on the fridge! :)

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while Levi
