30 DAYS OF CREATIVITY … DAY 30: WITH A SPECIAL CREATIVE STAR
Well, the 30DoC comes to a close with STAR as the theme for Day 30! And to help produce my final creative effort I’m calling on one of the greatest creative geniuses of all time … painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer … Leonardo da Vinci, the original polymath or Renaissance Man as he creates what will become the second most famous portrait in the world featuring yet another enigmatic smile.
30 DAYS OF CREATIVITY JUNE 30, 2012
CREATIVITY RULES!
HAVING HOT, HOTTER, HOTTEST HEAT WAVE!
Mlle. Renee went out this morning to make first rounds of the grounds for the day and quickly returned in panting mode. “Bobby boobie, it’s as hot as the kitchen on baking day outside,” she exclaimed in dog attitude as she heading down to the basement where she flopped down on the cool concrete floor!
Yes, the Wicket City is having itself a record heat wave!
Today the old thermometer reached 108F today which is the hottest temp ever recorded for the month of June. And it looks like it will stay there for the next week or two! The weather wizards say it will take something like a tropical storm in the gulf to break the current weather cycle. And I don’t think anyone wants that. I blame it all on the Mayans and their calendar!
I walked outside to refill the water bowl I put out for the wild critters who visit the yard, and thought I was being grilled. The water was in such high demand I had to refill the bowl three times during the day. Now, I’ve seen squirrels visit often for a drink along with a multitude of feathered friends, but today a rabbit hopped up to the bowl for a long drink. And I even had to fill Renee’s bowl twice, and she wasn’t even outside that long.
But the AC is still working and hopefully I’ll have the funds to pay the bill without having to resort to selling my votes this November to the Koch Brothers.
Tonight for dinner I made my special spicy beans and weenies. (Bush’s Original Style Beans, chopped onion, celery, green pepper, sweet and spicy mustard, catsup, Worcestershire sauce, red wine, chili powder, garlic, allspice and shredded Mexican style cheese.) Naturally the only beverage to go with a meal like this is an ice-cold bottle of beer! And I have leftovers for two more dinners … the B&W, not the beer.
With the excessive hot stuck in place for a couple of weeks and the minimum of rain for the past two months, many local communities have decided to cancel planned fireworks displays for the Fourth. I really hope individuals will have the sense to do the same around their homes. With all the drought and wildfires plaguing the country, this would be and ideal year for virtual fireworks displays.
And a few minutes ago I went outside to let Mlle. Renee make her final rounds before bed … and I noticed that the June Moon looked rather hot, too!
Say good night, Renee!
30 DAYS OF CREATIVITY … DAY 29: CREATIVITY BUILDING BLOCKS
The 30DoC inspiration calendar said the theme for the 29th day of June would be BUILDING BLOCKS! Well, my childhood building blocks actually turned to sawdust quite a few years ago. So I had to come up with a replacement … so I created my own set of blocks using the images I had created this month for the 30 Days of Creativity.
And as an extra creative touch, I also included the Renee Sock Puppet I created for one of last year’s Days Of Creativity.
30DoC — Day 29
Creativity Blocks
... a somewhat unknown or perhaps imaginary actor, writer, director, producer, photographer, friend, brother, uncle and all round good fellow that you really should get to know because he lives with that most glamorous fourpaw Mademoiselle Renee. (Mlle. Renee for short)
