Graces wrapped in shadowy nights:
Wonders - only a still heart sees.
That's Donny on 'Let's Climb a Mountain Day' (yeah, I know this doesn't even qualify for a hillock, but why should I be the one to break his podgy little kiddy heart - there'll be so many others to do that once he grows up, oh Lordie...so here's the rest...) - enchanted by a dandelion he claimed is 'winking at me, Mumma!!'
And so, he promptly abandoned the idea of 'completing' the climbing (more like clambering, if you ask me) and dashed back home, seized, as he was, by a spontaneous urge to 'Make a picchurr!'
In this master-piece, inspired by nature and the suggestive flower flirtation he experienced mainly, keen observers and kiddy lovers will find a vague umbrella (known as Umby, since the word was too long to spell and Dons are kinda short on dedication to exact depictions) being held by his rendering of whatever vision he saw of the blooming bud: yeah, she needs the umby to 'perteck' her from the rain.
Also in the picchur, (he explains his art to me bcoz whatever I guess it to be offends him, and he's not taking chances with his only fan!) are a cow's tail - which he wanted to spell out for me and others who may confuse it with errant smoke signals or worse still, an earthworm - (God alone knows why the tail exists without the cow in a meadow that is also, apparently, where a lone book lives alongside a flower that holds an umby, but here it is in full glory), a church on a cloud (yeah, move organized religion to the other world and this will be a better place, sonny boy - smart move - only didcha consult with big JC abt it, eh?) and an unflattering sketch of Mommy dearest who wears specs without handles! (that stay on her nose with sheer will-power, I suppose?)
Oh well, let's just say this is pure artistic license at play - please watch out - any hilarity experienced by you is absa-bloomingly-intended!!
Welcome To It, World-weary travelers on Life's Long Road. Stop a while and breathe in deep: the scent of mint out in the lane, the buzz of bees and breath of pines...the dew-wet pavement, the clouds thy raiment and the first kindness ever shown you...withstanding the ravages of time...you'll find...
Cool country, sanctifying grass and a spark of divinity - yours for a small price: just a quiet heart, to simply Be .. and see.

Arrey buddy girl,
you just have a soft spot for that rapscallion of a Don. Come and spend next spring break with us (which is by when we hope to have the 'dream-cottage' ready) and you'll know the only kind of artist he is is a Con one!!
Thank u for the warm welcome :-)
Luvvees,
Dips
