My next painting shall be a pig outside.

The pest control guys are in the building . Should I run out and tell them my air conditioner is plugged into a CSA approved outlet, so they can put that in my file?

Or some such bullshit. Also finding a way to blame “imagrint s”.

I posted this on Facebook and people are saying the homeless are “from away” and come here for the beauty of some such bullshit.

@paganforge Second best day of my life so far!!!! Im impressed that we gravitated towards each other in the conversation without knowing who you were!!!!

@PretendEditor On PEI we have gold cup parade day. People are supposed to get the day off but it is not legislated so people dont.

@barbinpei Well, we have holidays both in August and February. I am not a winter person, but lots of people do enjoy the February day off.

Today is a holiday but not for PEI yet we are receiving holiday programming because everyone thinks it’s a holiday.

Can you imagine? 😱 😃

@KerryDaley2 That is so wild!

@barbinpei Nope. Across a narrow lake in Halifax county, 30 minutes from the Armdale Rotary. A five minute row.

Brother Ken and Dad work on our sawmill. Ken was ten here. He and Floyd (age six) were using chainsaws to limb trees. Lois (7) and myself (5) were responsible for keeping the sawdust pile tidy and bringing the men a lunch.

@PretendEditor February.

@barbinpei When is your PEI Day?

😝

@bamayhew Same!

@barbinpei After my crazy day yesterday, I think I’ll take today as a holiday. I’m going to so notify my boss … oh, wait… no need!

@PamLaird1 @SharonDunn54 😃

@barbinpei @SharonDunn54 I think you're safe!

@PamLaird1 @SharonDunn54 Dollarama had better be open that’s all I have to say about that 😂

@SharonDunn54 @barbinpei Federal employees have the day off but they don't get the day off in February. My husband is at CCG and gets today off but not Islander Day.

@KerryDaley2 I think I am actually going to organize one.

@barbinpei Barb, I hope you’ll enter other art shows. And I hope the entry fees are minimal. 🙏

lol

My grandmother rocked me every single day until I was nine years seven months old. The thing that stopped her was she died. We had a pact, which she broke. She was supposed to rock me every day until I was 12, because she rocked my Dad every day until he was 12. He was the baby.

@mattdagley @feraluniverse You weren’t alive so you can’t comment.

@barbinpei @feraluniverse Sounds like an option piece to me.

Please join myself and Squishy in another miraculous sunrise, which suggests a day filled with infinite potential.

@mattdagley @ReprtrPatHealey I have a fly swatter you can borrow.

@ReprtrPatHealey @barbinpei Don't bother fighting with the trolls Pat, I'll use fly spray when I get to PEI next haha
