Speaking of the Land of Oz..

It looks like the house landed on Bromley instead of the witch!
"Bromley, what are you doing under the house and why haven't you been reporting the weather?"
"Because I think I've figured out a way to graze and avoid the weather all together."
"Hmm... there doesn't happen to be a beach under there is there?"

The Young lawyer, The Teacher and The Owner's Drunken Wife.


More paintings from Uncle Chuck:

The Manager (on the front it says,' The owner's wife pick the colors and made the uniforms. She was drunk. On the back it says,' $15.00 minus $5.00 for the owners drunken wife = $10.00

The young lawyer (left) has a story on the back of her first case.
And... the teacher! In honor of the end of the school year!

More from Uncle Chuck.

By popular demand I have more artwork from Uncle Chuck. If you'd like to purchase a piece just call him at 585 663 0592. They are $15 plus postage. I don't think you will be sorry, he'd be thrilled and it will help him out. The titles of these are 'A Beatle', 'Farm girl' , and 'Vote'.

Follow the yellow brick road

(www.oz-farm.com ) I just drove Jason, his guitar, and duffle bag to the P & B bus that will take him to Logan Airport. He's flying to San Francisco where he will meet up again with his girlfriend, Rebecca, and travel to Oz Farm for an internship. Here's the description of Oz Farm on their website: 'Oz Farm is hidden in a quiet, private valley on one of the most pristine stretches of the scenic Mendocino County coast, 130 miles north of San Francisco. (Map & Directions) Bordered with redwood forest, and with the Garcia River running through its 240 acres, Oz Farm is blessed with tranquility, fresh air and clear water. Oz Farm is 'off-the-grid', using solar and wind power for all its operations.' It's an organic farm. They also rent out cabins, accommodate weddings, and yoga retreats, etc. Sounds wonderful, doesn't it? Jason is especially interested in their goats, chickens and organic farming. So, you are not in Kansas anymore, dear Jason and Rebecca! Happy Trails! And don't forget to call your mom.

Baa Brother Weather, June 14

"Bromley, what is the weather going to be like on the ranch tomorrow?"
"Relax, Jobey. Live for today. There's no way the weather is going to be this good tomorrow."









"Bromley?"
"Yes, Lambo.."
"What did you put in my drink?!"

Baa Brother Weather, June 12th; Baa Baa Land

"It's time for the weather Bromley."
"Whatever Jobey..."
"What's the matter?"
"It's raining again! No one is going to come to Cape Cod when it's raining, Jobey!"
"Oh. Then I think you should lie."
"Lie!?? What about my 100% accuracy?"
"They should just be glad we got up early."
"Good morning, my Baa Buddies! Time for the weather"
"This is Bromley reporting to you from Baa Baa Land. Today will be sunny, in the 80s with a nice gentle breeze drifting off the ocean. A wonderful beach day!"
"That doesn't sound right, sweetie."
"Don't worry about it."

Uncle Eddie's World of gardens, castles and fairies

Today Jason, the little Munchkins (Baa Brothers), my friend, Barbara, and I went to see our friend Eddie Foisy (Uncle Eddie) right here on Cape Cod in Harwich. Uncle Eddie really may have the most magical garden in the world. He works all by himself with no help at all. Or possibly, the fairies help him. It's impossible that he has done this by himself, so the only reasonable explanation is that fairies helped him.
{You can see Uncle Eddie's World in Cape Cod by appointment only. 508 432 2080 Donations very much appreciated - Eddie works for the fairies full time and overtime. The only drawback to working for fairies is that although they pay well in blessings, they don't give you any cash.}
"Okay, you people just go ahead...have fun.... we'll be good."


World's only poetry speaking rabbit.

Eddie has animals too and you can see a relative of the Baa Brothers in the circle of the goddess' arms.

We take a little break and try a couple of Eddie's 1999 brews. One was made of nettles and the other lemon balm. They are surprisingly wonderful!
Happy kids - Uncle Eddie and Barbara

Welcome to Eddie's shop

"Time to go little munchkins!"
"Oh, can't we stay a little longer?"
Bromley ate so much that when we arrived home he got stuck between the Baa house and the fence. A few of us had to lift and move the house to get him out. Just like Winnie the Pooh and the honey!

Merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream....

I took this picture of my friend, Dawn, in the backyard of Holly House. It is a mystery to us. A couple of people have told us they KNOW what is going on here - One person tells us that we have been visited by wonderful spirits (Orbs). Another says she is certain it is moisture in the air..... I think it is a magical picture of my friend Dawn. That is what I know. And if anyone would be visited by angels or good spirits, it would be Dawn. I love the picture.
And below is my note to myself. I type up these little poems or notes when I think of them on little 3 x5 cards and put them in a box. I don't know why I do that either. I don't know much, do I? :-) Maybe I should have titled this post 'Ignorance is Bliss'.
Love,
Cin

'We guess
Our perspective on the world is so small and narrow that in an attempt to get a complete picture, we guess. We guess at what everyone is thinking, we guess at the future which alters the look of the present, we guess about the health of our bodies, we guess at how others see us, we guess what our
pets are thinking and how they are feeling. Our memories are skewed and our perspective of how our life is now compared to our past is skewed. Sometimes when we think we are living, we are dying and when we think we are dying, we are living. Probably when we think we are rich, we are poor and when we think we are poor, we are really rich. Then there are those times when we are afraid, but we are not in danger and there are those times when we really are in danger and we are not afraid. So, I will enjoy and live and be grateful for every day as if it is a good book or a work of art.'

More heart...

I took this picture today and thought of you.

Saturday Farm and the Baa Brothers


Saturday Farm
Good morning! This is a picture of Saturday Farm, a house we love and care for and rent to vacationers in the summer months ( www.vrbo.com/164673 ). We live in another magical house that Handyman Harry built on the other end of the property. I'll tell you about it one day, but our energy still orbits this wonderful Saturday Farm house. This year we adopted two lambs that graze on the property. We chose a small, ancient, gentle breed of Babydoll Southdown Sheep that we call the Baa Brothers - Bromley and Jobey. I asked them to pose for me today. Jobey loves the camera; he comes right over when he hears it clicking. They are therapy lambs - good for the spirit; they've been to a nursing home several times and they have a couple of play dates coming up with children of the Harwich Junior Theatre.
We work hard here and long hours; but, yes, we do live a happy Saturday life!
Here's dear Bromley:
And dear Jobey:
They are as endearing as they look.
Have a happy Saturday!
Love,
Itsa Cin
