how about some photos??
This is a photo of Joe holding an original painting in one hand and in the other hand an excellent reproduction crafted in the studio of the artiste, Anne. Guess which is the fake? The fake is really very nice. Each image is pasted/ affixed/ firmly and professionally placed on a wood board. The sides are hand-painted in a nice go-with color and the surface is poly-coated. Ready to hang hardware on the back as well as the special story that goes with each picture. This is a cool new item. Whatdoyouthink ???
Joe is a real sport posing for these dopey pictures.
here’s a backyard shot with the painting of the day.
fake or original?

We are keeping an eye on the weather.
It would totally stink if Vermont had more flooding.

Hurricane Irene was not nice to much of Vermont. We live in the relatively unscathed town of Barre. For which we are very grateful.
Many other parts of Vermont – not so nice.
We love our local -truly local- radio station WDEV in Waterbury Vermont, that keep us informed. Many heroes. Many stories to unfold.
Pictured here, me and Gabby going out to seek folks in need of an umbrella.

Anne Made is going to be at the Capital City Farmer’s Market in Montpelier this Saturday. She will be displaying/selling her wares.
Joe will be serving as sales manager. He enjoys the marketplace. I would go but the dogs make me nervous. But it’s a nice market. The pizza is to die for and if you like vegetables you’re in luck. Frankly, I don’t like vegetables, but I do like pie…
speaking of pie…
There will be a special. Buy $20 worth of stuff and get a FREE 8 x 11 print of ‘Eye on the pie’.
lots of great cards at a great price, a steal practically.
lovely cards, we call them ‘seconds’ but they are still lovely.
10 for $10 or $1.50 for a single card.
Be there or be square…

Anne likes to put hats on dogs.
She also likes fascinators.
She was in a hat shop recently and tried some on.
Tres charmant.
I don’t model the hats so she got Ruby to model her creations.
Ruby is a chihuahua mix. Anne finds Ruby tres charmant.
I am still and always the premier muse, I am the orange eminence.
And don’t forget it.
Later,

This is Anne at Bear Pond Books in Montpelier. She had a book-signing/reading.
I think she had a good time. She said she did and I believe her.
She read ‘Bud & Gabby’ and ‘No Dogs Allowed’ and they’re both funny books so she got some laughs. Beth made cookies shaped like dog bones and everyone had a good time. I couldn’t be there but Sofie was and apparently she was distracting to Joe who was in charge of the camera and that’s why all the pictures are a little fuzzed.
Speaking of Fuzz…
Fun Fact:
Did you know that Anne is allergic to cats and dogs???
I like this. I like my sweater.
I think Anne should make these and sell them. And finally make some decent $$$.
This photo was taken on the back porch. It’s truly spring here in Vermont. We’re not in a flood zone, the robins are back (I don’t eat robins, honest) and life is good.
Anne is constructing a cuddly version of me out of felt and stuffing.
What do you think?
I think it has potential. I’ve always wanted to be represented 3-dimensionally. Whatever that means.
It’s coming along.
Tomorrow it will be finished and I’ll show it to you.
Right now Anne is knitting a sweater for the Bud Boy Doll.
This is awesome. Start to read my book. Just click on this picture…
Did you click on it?
It’s like magic, you get to look inside. What will they think of next?
But, take my word for it, it’s even better in person.
So, I’m very excited about my new book. I didn’t actually write it. Anne wrote it and did the art but there would be no book if it weren’t for YOURS TRULY, THE MUSE EXTRAORDINAIRE.

I know many of you are wondering if I’m going to make it to the reading on May 21st.
I hate to disappoint but the answer is ‘NO’. I will, however, be there in spirit.
I don’t get out much these days. I like to stay at home in my luxury flat and have my butler attend to all my needs.
All old people should have it so good. Seriously. I get all the milk products I want and fancy tins of gourmet foods accented with canned pumpkin (which I LOVE – and it’s an excellent digestive) and some fancy magic elixir which comes in a bottle and Anne squirts on my food. Another digestive aid. Now that I’m a senior I have gotten fussy when it comes to dietary matters …
sometimes I just want to sleep in the sun… or meditate on oneness… OM Baby OM
