Welcome to Thursday's Art Date! Our theme today is One. Bugs Bunny is playing the role of Rapunzel today. Poor Rapunzel, so alone, one young princess, dreaming of her prince charming and happily ever after! Sigh...💓
I decided on something a little different today! I did a painting in acrylics, but I was inspired to write a poem to describe it. :)

The One
by Rain Frances
Late an August moonlit night,
In woods so dark, my fear takes flight.
Hints of whispers in my ear,
Shadows rise and disappear.
Lost for hours, weak and frail,
Or is it days? My memory fails.
Darkened terror left me drained,
Succumbing cold, my heart is pained.
So sudden, light appears ahead,
Clearing fields, and hope a thread.
I run with legs so sore and weakened,
Lonely house, so black a beacon.
Lonely house, so black a beacon.
Windows glow, the wraith appears,
Breath so shallow, I will myself near.
Behind me the woods laugh as I run,
As I enter the house, the only, the One.
The ONE and only red cherry tomato. My tomatoes are still green this late in the season, but I did find this little one hiding in the middle of the greenhouse!
All of the canning is done! 80 pounds of tomatoes and 12 pints of strawberries that became strawberry jam. I love seeing the bright colours of jars in my pantry!
I managed to find some more fresh sweet cherries and made a Cherry Pie Filling (I finally did it Cathy!) But...as you can see, I overfilled!
It was so delicious though! I topped my piece of pie with Cheddar cheese, broiled it a bit and added some ice cream on the side for extra nourishment! :)
I decided it was time to clean the deep freezer, so most of these meals were a result of that!
Broccoli Stir Fry |
Corn on the cob with fried Basa filet |
Linguine Puttanesca |
Basa filet foil-baked with white wine and tomatoes - Cheddar cheese broiled on top |
The deep freezer is clean and empty now except for a little old box of baking soda! Time to fill it again! :)
Here is Leo playing with a tennis ball. He plays like this for hours!

I painted this last October. It's the story of Mary Gallagher - the most famous ghost of Montreal - a part of our history!
Mary Gallagher was brutally murdered and beheaded in a Griffintown tenement on June 27, 1879 on the corner of William and Murray streets. The case shocked Montrealers, especially when Mary’s best friend, Suzy Kennedy, was sentenced to hang for the gruesome crime. Since then, Mary’s headless ghost is said to return every 7 years on the anniversary of her death, still searching for her head.
