i've been wearing tshirts and shorts for a few days because i've been at dan's without a selection of packed clothes, so when i got home, i put on a skirt and fancy shirt (and then a sweater because the windows are open and it's FREEZING. no i do not live in australia. yes it is summer here).
the forecast was calling for rain earlier for this afternoon, but based on the blue skies i can see through the curtain, i'm not sure this will happen (i hope not.)

THOUSANDS of sheep, soft-footed, black-nosed sheep—one by one going up the hill and over the fence—one by one four-footed pattering up and over—one by one wiggling their stub tails as they take the short jump and go over—one by one silently unless for the multitudinous drumming of their hoofs as they move on and go over—thousands and thousands of them in the grey haze of evening just after sundown—one by one slanting in a long line to pass over the hill—
I am the slow, long-legged Sleepyman and I love you sheep in Persia, California, Argentine, Australia, or Spain—you are the thoughts that help me when I, the Sleepyman, lay my hands on the eyelids of the children of the world at eight o’clock every night—you thousands and thousands of sheep in a procession of dusk making an endless multitudinous drumming on the hills with your hoofs.
-- Carl Sandburg (1878–1967). Sheep. Chicago Poems. 1916.
I made this fun little guy but did a bit different on the face, arms and whites of the shoes using "Glow in the Dark" yarn by Bernat!
While I was sitting in the back of my sister's car two weeks ago I took this photo of street lights. No post-process here.
This is a representation of what I see in the morning and the evening. The crows fly east in the morning and they fly west in the evenings. Large groups of them. I wonder where they are going? And I have been wanting to get a picture of this behavior.
I actually lost count of how many draft they do serve at the Watermark irish pub. Harbourfront, Toronto
In the old royal city of Hue, you may in the evenings take a boat out upon the Perfume River and listen to performances of traditional music.

I used to have really bad trichotillomania. Which is just a long word for compulsively pulling out my hair. Most of the time, I wouldn't have ANY eyelashes. Good thing they grew back.
sometimes in life you keep counting and forget what you are counting. and most of the time its value is far more important than what you expect.
Rail activity detected at the Bunbury Street Tunnel - Camera #2 No defects I repeat no defects. Total axle count....
As a child, I remember challenging myself to count to 1000, 1 million, or 1 billion. I don’t think I ever made it.
Why do we aimlessly count? How long would it take to count to a billion?
Counting to a Billion is a device created to fulfill the desire to count. The electronics consists of a microcontroller, a speech module, and a speaker powered by a rechargeable battery. There is no/off switch. The voice will keep counting when the device is unplugged and if the battery is drained, the count will pick up where it left off when the battery recharges. The voice begins counting at one, two, three and continues counting up until it reaches one billion at which point in time it will stop.
If it took a second to utter each string of numbers, it would take 1 billion seconds or 31.7 years for the device to reach its end. But since it takes more than a second to vocalize many of the numbers in the sequence, it may take upwards of 60 years to complete.
The unit is housed in a solid block of aluminum, cnc milled into a vessel that was designed to withstand substantial abuse over many years.
Counting to a Billion is for sale as an edition of 5.
Materials: Aluminum, custom electronics
Dimensions: 4” (10cm) diameter, 6” (15cm) height, freestanding.

I saw a few pairs of Red-necked grebes failing to nest this season, one attempt after another. Most of the time the failure can be blamed on the rainy weather and unexpected rise of the water level that swept away their nests. I finally found one happy couple who's doing OK so far.
Here's another comic featuring Blood Count, You can see the others if you scroll through my older pictures.

While I do love my collectable beads, I treasure family most, and this is our youngest (and smallest) grandchild to date, RieLynn Jayde
She managed to con us out of some of our Pandora/Troll/Biagi/Misc beads, and used Daddy's iTouch cover tas a tray to count them.
Proudly enough, she now counts like the Count on Sesame St. thanks to Memma & Nico counting along with her in the car...ah, ah, aahhhh!!!!
