RANDOM PRETTY PICS POST
had to go to the bank and post box today. after bank, drove past park to post office. the snow was vaporizing and too pretty. DETOUR. turn into park and took lots of pics. go back to PO. drop letters in box, decide to take long way thru parkways for more pretty. but DETOUR again. maybe there's somebody at the farmer's market....
YES! no onions, but apples. get a big bag of banana apple. able to chat as nobody else there. actual name is winter apples. name makes more sense. very pretty apples and taste great with carmel. take scenic parkway home. a few pics.
RANDOM ART BLOGGING POST
i attacked the 'trees' the other day and i think the painting is resolved to my satisfaction. bad pic, but damn thing is very big and have to wait til spring to take a better pic of it. no sky added. prefer that. OK. it isn't a great painting. just 'and now for something completely different.'
i am satisfied. i DO like the lines between the trees and the grass.
SWEATER SATURDAY BLOGGING
how i used up most of the rest of the brown/grey/offwhite yarn. the sweater weighs 4lbs. very thick and warm. most 'stripes' have at least 5 yarns. some up to 8. looks ok inside out too. i like the ends sticking out. i gotta make more like this. hard knitting it tho.

yes, there is a lot of squirrels here, but for a reason. i think i gotta re-post my squirrel saga of the past. find the original squirrel menace posts.
and, i went to The Outpost, a organics/health food store here, this one in WAWAtosa doesn't let me shop barefoot like the bay view one. or they haven't caught me yet.
anyways. i am hanging onto a cart trying to put shoes on and a store dude comes into the entry and says-'do not tell me you came in barefoot.'
'yes, i did.' say i, 'but you won't let me shop barefoot.'

RANDOM ESTATE SALE POST- A FUCKING BOAT HOUSE!!!
well, this was a MUST GO! boat house. sat and sunday. just art. is that the house that is a boat? YES! story in saturday's paper.
ooh. and so picturesque with all the snows. inside when went in full of artsy-fartsy east siders. i think i am an inside outsider. never much for gathering with classmates.
i did like 2 paitings, but i knew they would be as cheap as my much better biberstien's or even susuko's. all pretty banal. but location location location. it seem exactly like somebody cut off the bottom of a boat and stuck it on land.
and it was gorgeous on the lake front. will post pretty pics soon.
was quite cold and had to wade thru mushy snow barefoot to car. too long and my feet still tingly. but warm. oh my. in the car they hurt so from so much blood in my toes. very uncomfortable.
also, there was an older homosexual couple. interacial. holding hands. sweet. i don't understand why we have to keep them from marrying. who cares if it's icky.
RANDOM MAP POST
i was trying to find the map from sebastion cabot post, but couldn't find one, did find this map of milwaukee. i actually saw this map in person at an estate sale. i tried to take photos of it, but didn't work. but very large and very neat in person. if only i had money. sigh, but no wall space. que sera fucking sera.
