I caught a bit of Bubba’s portrait drawing session on camera and put together a video for you if you’d like to watch me (in high speed) applying fur with my sock-covered hand!

This video captures me working through the forehead, left eye, and his nose & muzzle area.

Enjoy!!

When you get done watching this, go on over to SpacePaintings.com where you can (and should!) buy one of his originals. Brandon Mcconnell is the artist, he’s amazing!

Right now, his paintings are right around $30 – and they won’t stay that price for long. I bought this one – and I cannot wait to see it in person!

Ready to Fly

I’ve been trying to open the door
To the secret of my destiny
And every new road I think is the one
Seems to lead right back to me

I’ve looked for a way to be wiser
A way to be strong
Now I see the answer was hiding
In me all along

Chorus:
And I’m ready to fly
Over the sun
Like a rocket to heaven
And I’m ready to soar
Right through the sky
Never dreamed I’d find something to lift me so high
I’ve always had wings
But I wasn’t ready to fly

Restless, hopeless, and misunderstood
Like so many others I know
So busy tryin’ to keep holdin’ on
When I should’ve been letting go

I was given the gift to find it
The spirit inside me
But I never really imagined
All I could be

Chorus:
And I’m ready to fly
Over the sun
Like a rocket to heaven
And I’m ready to soar
Right through the sky
Never dreamed I’d find something to lift me so high
I’ve always had wings
But I wasn’t ready to fly

The answer to all of my wonder
Was right in my hands
Now it’s time for me to discover
All that I am

Chorus:
And I’m ready to fly
Over the sun
Like a rocket to heaven
And I’m ready to soar
Right through the sky
Never dreamed I’d find something to lift me so high
I’ve always had wings
But I wasn’t ready to fly

I’ve always had wings
Now I’m finally ready to fly

Ready to Fly

You all know how much I love my squirrels. And I know many of you don’t like the little buggers, but this might just change your mind – if not you’ll at least get a little chuckle-snort out of it.

I recorded this video this morning for you, and figured out the inner workings of windows movie maker so that I could present you with your Friday entertainment – The Squirrel Proof Feeder. If you’re inclined (and I think you need a YouTube account), throw a star or two his way, wouldjya?

My squirrel wants to be famous.

Our little Quaker parrot, Quintin, is a hoot. He’s still a baby, 3 months old, and he’s starting to really get animated. We play ball – he “throws” a little wiffle golf ball for us to catch, and it’s really funny. I’ll get video of that after we have a few more practice games. For now, you can see his silly personality starting to come out. Enjoy!

(don’t have your volume up too loud, you’ll be plugging your ears when you hear my “talk to the cute little birdie” voice!)

Yes I’m finally figuring out how to use my dang movie maker thing. Yahoo!
