Monster Monday – Two for the Price of One

seeing as how I missed last week’s Monster Monday I’m going to show you last week’s and this week’s in one post

Even if I haven’t been posting my husband continues to draw and paint and I have two very different monsters to share with you. They are both done on Procreate on an iPad. I think both monsters are sick and tired of this smoky air from the wildfires up north.

Monster Monday is Temporarily on Hold Due to the Cat

for the last four weeks we’ve been cat sitting

When my neighbour went into the hospital I volunteered to look after the cat in her home. My husband is allergic to cats or so we thought so for the first two weeks I went into my neighbour’s house twice a day to give the cat clean water and food and spend some time with him. When the weather got nicer I started letting him out for a few minutes every day. One day he came over to our porch where Kevin was sitting and they immediately bonded. Now the cat comes over every day and visits anywhere from a few minutes to several hours. We always feed him from his home and at night he sleeps there as well.

Remarkably, Kevin’s allergies are pretty mild when the cat is around. Some days when he’s with us he’s very demanding of our attention and it interferes with Kevin’s ability to draw on his iPad. One day last week, he posted this drawing.

This week Kevin’s time has been so devoted to the cat that instead of a monster he came up with this drawing instead. We apologize to the fans of Monster Monday but they will return in the near future.

Happy Father’s Day at the Cheltenham Badlands

a sunny warm day

When our daughter invited us to join her and her wife at the Cheltenham Badlands, I thought we were driving there to look, take a few photos and then drive over to Spirit Tree for lunch. When we arrived at the parking lot we discovered that they were hiking on the Bruce Trail and were about 30 minutes away from us. They suggested that we get on the trail and walk towards them. Luckily I had on walking shoes but my pants were way too warm. Nonetheless we made the short hike, met them and then hiked back toward the Badlands.

After a short walk back to the car we drove to the Spirit Tree Estate Cidery. We found a shady area under a tent and ordered cider and wood oven baked pizza.
