Amazing Goats...

I've always been impressed by goats' ability to scale mountain faces. Standing on all fours using only their hooves to grasp on to steep mountain faces, how can you not be impressed? I've seen many photos of this so it was just a matter of time until I YouTubed it...

One goat video inevitably leads to another. And so I present you with 16 Goats in a Tree...

In case you were wondering how they got up there, here's one possibility...

Quote of the Week...

"What day is it?" asked Pooh. "It's today," squeaked Piglet. "My favorite day," said Pooh.

A great quote from Winnie the Pooh, A.A. Milne.

Illustrated by E. H. Shepard.

One in honour of Thanksgiving weekend...

Word on the Street 2012

The Word on the Street 2012

National Book and Magazine Festival

I always love going to this event each year. I stumbled upon it unknowningly when I first moved to Toronto and since then I try to go each year. It took place last weekend with many booths, books, author talks, and more throughout Queen's Park.

This year I had the pleasure of hearing a live read from one of my favourites childhood authors, Dennis Lee. When I was really young I remember going to see Dennis Lee read with my class and so, nearly 20 years later, it was great to have the opportunity to hear him read again. He read many favourites which included his popular Alligator Pie. Classic.

Random Chicken Post...

Stumbled upon this one while creating the drawing below...

Photo Source: http://www.backyardchickens.com/  Posted by Cindy from North Carolina



Chicken with a hair tye... She wears it well.

Her name is Wilma. Photo was posted by her owner, Cindy, as a part of the BackYard Chicken's Crested Chicken Contest. 

If she didn't win I will be quite disappointed.

HONOURABLE MENTION GOES TO...

To my knowledge, the above chickens were not a part of the Crested Chicken Contest like Wilma but I think they could benefit from some hair accessories as well...

Pink-a-licious Birthday Wishes...

This past weekend I joined in a very Pink-a-licious party in celebration of my Niece's 5th birthday! Everything was pink, themed after the fantastic book, Pinkalicious by Victoria Kann. It was a very cute party.

The illustration above was on my pink-a-licious birthday card to Ella, with all her pets taking part in the celebration  ♥ -♥ -♥

Quote of the Week...

"Don't play for safety - it's the most dangerous thing
in the world."

This week's quote was actually from my birthday fortune cookie earlier this month. Such a wise cookie...

*Belated birthday wishes go out to my birthday buddies, Jon Bon and Dr. Seuss.

And on that note, a little Bon to take us to the end...

Quote of the Week...

*Found while checking out my horoscope in
this week's Now Magazine
"We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join in mutual weirdness and call it love." - Dr. Seuss

Wishing you a very Happy Valentine's Day!

Love Me, Red Bear, and ofcourse

Meat Loaf.

Hope you have a wonderful day! ♥
