Wacky Bird Wednesday – August 11, 2021

putting the wacky back in Wacky Bird Wednesday

Last week was a bad week for the internet and my computer here at home. I thought I was going to have to take my computer in for service because it took forever to upload photos to my posts. As a result a lot of my regular posts didn’t happen at all and I’ve been making up for it this week. For whatever reason everything seems to be working again.

This week I have two wacky birds to share.

TGIFFF – Tonguely Finds a Pair of Kevin’s Old Racing Shorts

When Kevin started drawing last week’s Tonguely he had no idea where he was going with these flowered shorts and then he remembered that he owned a pair of racing shorts very similar to these.

Tree Square – The Perfect Tree

….thanks to Becky B for hosting Tree Square for the month of July #treesquare

Every year we drive to the countryside to find the perfect tree for Christmas. After living in this house for 42 years we finally decided that smaller is better.

Monday Windows and Thursday Doors – July 29, 2021

….thanks to Dan from No Facilities for hosting Thursday Doors and to Ludwig for hosting Monday Window https://mondaywindow.wordpress.com/2021/07/26/monday-window-july-26-2021/

Last week Kevin and I took a trip to Guelph to give our granddaughters a tour of the university where we met and went to school. The girls will be going there in the fall. We had a great day and hope to make many more trips in the next few years.

I focused on the older buildings because they have so much more charm and character. The residences that were once all male or all female are now co-ed. The girls are actually in their second year so they didn’t qualify to live on campus because the residences are for first year students only. Last year all their classes were on-line so they studied from home.

Meet Willabee Waspnest

….another Wacky Bird Wednesday

Seriously that’s his name. Our avian hump day friend is an early riser. It takes him a while to get that hair just right. Doesn’t Winnie come up with the best names?

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.

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.
