Saturday Sloth (or Sunday Sloth)
….a new art challenge for Kevin
A while back our five year old granddaughter wondered by Papa didn’t make Saturday Sloths. Kevin couldn’t ignore the request so he has now added sloths to his collection of drawings. Sloths are slow and can be characterized as lazy so if Kevin doesn’t get the sloth drawn by Saturday he doesn’t feel bad.
This week’s sloth is my favourite so far so I’ve decided to share it with you.
A Fallen Tree
….thanks to Becky B for hosting Tree Square for July https://beckybofwinchester.com/2021/07/26/tree-square-26/
Every winter a tree comes down on our lot at the cottage. It might be due to age, infestation, crowding, disease or a number of other reasons. This one fell across our pathway to the beach but our kind neighbour got out her saw and cleared the path for us.

New Beginnings
…thanks to Becky B for hosting Tree Square for the month of July https://beckybofwinchester.com/2021/07/25/tree-square-25/
I’ve been posting mostly mature trees and trees that are at the end of their life cycle. Here is how new trees begin.

Sculpture Saturday – July 24, 2021
…thanks to SMKelly for hosting Sculpture Saturday https://nofixedplans5.wordpress.com/2021/07/24/sculpture-saturday-41/
Outside Creelman Hall at the University of Guelph. The university was originally an agricultural school and to this day it still offers courses in farming and animal husbandry. This metal sculpture of a tractor with a farmer in the driver’s seat is new to me and my husband. I studied Family Studies here and met Kevin some 48 years ago through a friend who lived next door to me.

This tree looks like it is standing guard over the lake.

TGIFFF – Two Tonguelys for the Price of One
….last week I was away when Kevin finished his latest Tonguely picture and I didn’t get around to posting it
Looks like Tonguely wanted to learn how to cook but he thinks that fudge is a food group. This week he wanted to celebrate National Vanilla Ice-cream Day but then he discovered that it was also Gorgeous Grandmother Day. Since he loves his Granny he decided to spend the day with her and share a cone or two.
