Once again, I've awakened in the morning, to rush the doggies outside to do their duty, make coffee and read AOL News, the blog comments and then relax a bit to look around at other's blogs and such. This morning I was rushing to complete Vicki's artwork which she is making into note cards. There are a lot of graphic corrections and jury riggin's necessary to make square or portrait pictures fit a landscape style note card. I enjoyed doing the work for her though and have wanted her to start marketing her artwork for quite awhile now, so in my zest for helping her get going, I forgot the garbage again! Thank God the container was only partially full and it is getting colder and it won't stink until next week. Anyway, Vick is presently working on a series of landscape and pet portrait card sets which will be available packaged with envelopes. They are certainly beautiful enough to grab the attention of adults, kids and connoisseurs of the art world, who may enjoy having Vicki's art on a small scale, while performing a functional purpose. I know she will sell many sets as soon as they are available. We'll place a showing of the sets as soon as she has them completed and ready.
We went to Hair-tique, in Greenville, right along route 81, next to and behind the Kubota dealer this morning for our sorely needed haircuts. It has been quite awhile since we were there last, which was witnessed by my scruffy look of bushy mop hanging out from under the back of my ball cap...curling up like a like a girlie man hair doo. Spring was in her usual gala mood, looking to splash me good with some brilliant color of hair dye, like she has done the last two times we were there. My savior of the visit today was that she was predisposed with a lovely little customer appreciation snack table, which kept her attention away from dying me and giggling incessantly, all the while. The first time I got a purple streak under the ball cap up front and the last time I got Blue filling the hole in the ball cap, where you adjust the size of the cap. God knows what this time would have been and she did sell Vick a tube of orange for autumn highlights to Vick's hair... still chuckling and telling Vick she could really give me the pumpkin look for Halloween. We sampled her meatballs and a wicked sausage with peppers and onions. She also had a multitude of other snack delights there for the customers of today. We volunteered to return later in the day with a huge bowl of spaghetti to sit with them and eat the remainder of the meatballs and sausage for dinner. Spring was excited and said that would be ok if we wanted to bring some down. She makes going to get our hair a visit we always look forward to, because she is not only good, but funny. She has also given us a lot of good places to eat and turned us on to the various fairs and local events around the region since first going to her a couple years ago. She is a really special person...as are all the girls working there. It's such a fun place to go.

This is Spring. She is the owner of Hair-Tique and that perputually beautiful smile..... Always bubbling with laughter.....
All the critters in the new chicken coop are really happy with the renovations and if they had leases... I think they would definitely re-new them since the changes. They have much more room, better perches and roosts and all the chickens are now together in that barn. The bunnies are likewise happy in their new room. They are now in a clean room with lots of hay and on every other day, the sexes are allowed to be loose to run about and get their exercise too. Today the boys are running free in the room. Yesterday, it was the ladies. Some day we can throw a floor against the end of the brothel building and whip out an 8 x 8 building for the turkeys to roost in. We want to place a dog run outside that for them on days when we don't want them running free. (Like during turkey season). With the pneumatic framing nailer, we can throw up a building that size in an afternoon.
