Dogs and Folk Art Random-osity

The Good: Today is National Dog Day so I made a little collage of my past dogs: Spotsy (with Marie), Guppy (enjoying a river), Flash (pensive), and Ben (running). We don't have a dog now, and it is probably a good thing because Frank was pretty much off his feet for three months following achilles tendon surgery in April. I don't think I could have kept up with a pet while looking after his needs.

Mosaic Monday.
 The Random: There's a new mural at Lost River Artisans Co-op. It depicts many of the local landmarks, although definitely not to scale. That leaning silo is a real thing; I've seen it.

Monday Murals.
The Fun: This giant chicken stands in Wardensville, WV, which is a fun little town to visit.

  2. Linda - love this post - a little bit of something for everyone. We adore our two cats, but there will be no more pets when they are gone. It will simplify our lives in so many ways … Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!

  3. Your dogs were all very sweet. I have not had dogs for over 20 years, just cats. The leaning silo in the mural is interesting. Thanks for contributing Linda.

  7. Great chicken sculpture! Someone should have a collection of 3 dimensional outdoor art, beyond murals.

  10. I was sure I had stopped by to thank you for your lovely comments, but apparently I was only dreaming! Then I saw your mural, and I knew I could probably get a reprieve.

    Your good is so adorable, and your fun chicken is a super find. I was laughing when I saw it.

    The random, the incredible mural, is beautiful. It gives me an idea of the area in which you live. It may not be to scale, but it's colorful and unique. It's a perfect find for Monday Murals, Linda.
