My Back Deck

So onto lighter things...

Want to see where I spend alot of time on spring, summer & fall days?

Well one of the places anyways!

This is our back deck.

It's where Mister Roo-Boo tends to hang out during the days,

where Ella Luna and I spent oodles and oodles of time together,

and where the squirrels and chickadees come to converse with me.

It's also where I have my morning coffee,

my mid-afternoon reading breaks

and where my easel is set up for painting or pastels.

It's also where I stretch out and gaze up at the stars in the evening times.

Ahhhh.

I LOVE it.

I've shown you this space before,

but it does change from season to season,

I am sure it'll be completely rearranged next year again.

And, I still have to paint that one rocking chair a bright red...maybe this coming weekend.

Thanks for hopping in.

Disappearing Act...Again!

Hi Everyone,

Wow!

I've managed to disappear unexpectedly from my blog again. Sorry about that.

A two week long head pain marathon ran into my honey getting really sick and ending up in hospital

because he could barely breathe for his lungs & airways had gotten so congested...it was scary!

And that ordeal streamed right along into more head pain filled days for me

and then naturally my turn to get abit of a flu...

But all is getting better now, so I'll be showing you some new artwork very soon.

I'd like to say later today or tomorrow but for once I won't promise since my headaches and

migraines are in high gear these last few weeks and I've been able to get less done than

normal or even keep to a plan or schedule of any sort.

BUT...

my Jonathan is okay now and safe and sound at home...

The first words out of his mouth when I was finally able to see him a few hours later in the triage room was "Oh there you are, I missed you and I miss my rabbits, I want to go home I need to see them" awww.

So even though I am writing this with a still pounding head

and I am pretty sure it'll likely be sore again tomorrow!

(I head to a neurologist very soon...slightly nervous!)

my honey is back home and on his way to healthy again, so all is right in my world

...and I have no complaints.

And I am just really excited about showing you all some new work,

I've been working on so many things.

So do hop in for a visit again really soon so you can see all the new goodies, okay?

XO Mandy

A Visit

I got to spend a short time with my best friend Judit recently,

which we so so needed and which has filled up my heart happily until our next visit.

We live a far 400km away and it's just not always easy for us to get together unfortunately.

But this beautiful girl is a part of my heart and I love love love her so.

We don't need a million friends, or a hundred or even ten...

we just need one really true and blue soul who gets us and loves us through thick and thin.

I was lucky to travel the 400km with my oldest and and most spectacular best friend, Jonathan.

whiles leaving our beloved buns and home in the hands of another beautiful and awesome friend, Maria.

to travel to and spend time with my dearest kindred Chicken, Judit.

I am so very grateful for these friendships, they are my rocks.

Now it's off to yoga and then the dentist (ugh!)...have a beautiful day everyone.

She Lived Inside Hope

I have a new mixed media to show you all today, it's titled...

"She Lived Inside Hope"

Because at the end of the day, the one thing we always have, is our hope.

I know I live inside it.

I hope you do as well.

Have a wonderful weekend and we'll see you next week

(I am hoping it will be a headache/migraine free one, unlike this past week!)

Flynn

Flynn

Flynn (aka Flea aka Bug) is our resident sous chef & grocery inspector. He was a special needs adoption due to a condition called ISC syndrome & being prone to gut problems. He also suffers from hypercalcemia, so every night he patiently gets his bladder expelled. He was a little stress urchin when rescued & still after all this time still has some of his street thug ways. But this pint sized cuties gorilla growls don't fool us for a second...he's one of the cuddliest little guys in the warren and loves a good inverted snuggle. He makes us laugh almost everyday when he does his nightly hallway zooms & flings himself around wildly often crashing into all the furniture. He loves blueberries the most I think & hate getting his face washed but he does like it when we put cream on his feet! Follow his adorableness on Instagram @leporidaelovely

Yuuji

Yuuji

otherwise known as our Soot Gremlin or Georgie Puddin is the easiest going guy around and he loves to retreat to his solo hideaway under the bed whiles he waits patiently for spring & summer fun even though he's the resident snow bunny. He was our youngest shelter adoptee & a sweet 8 months old when we brought him home. He was some impossible way the only little guy left and unwanted from a litter. He lost his mate Teela much too soon & everyday we miss and remember her together. Yuuji has chronic allergies so sometimes all the sneezing tuckers him out but nothing makes him happier than taking a nice long snooze on the coffee table in the middle of the afternoon. He's is the silliest fella and will just randomly pop in the air for no reason and he tells ya he's happy by wiggling his tail at you.

Misa Adora

Misa Adora

is my stars, moon & sun and basically my heart on four legs! She buoys me up like no other and is my best friend and balm for just about everything. She's full of beans & very energetic. Misa was in the shelter system for a long time & was in atleast two that we know of, despite being insanely cute she was overlooked because shes next to impossible to pick up & she was super duper skittish, shaking in a corner when I first met her...now with me, she's amazing and fun and playful and adventurous but still is a four feet on the ground at all times bunny. Hop on by for more of her dandelion puff ways @leporadae_lovely on IG

Leisel Be Good

Korra-Soleil

Korra-Soleil

Our Apricot Strudel is another babe whose had a rather rough start, she was in a Quebec shelter that was shut down & on the transfer day to the THS her bonded mate died. Than she was at the THS awhile, we meet her when we were there adopting somebunny else & we fell in love with her but than she was adopted to someone else only to be brought back a whole year later! The minute we saw she was back at the shelter we zoomed to the city to adopt her. She is a gentle girl & has sadly had more loss recently with the sudden passing of Emmett her best bud so she's been alittle sad. But this beautiful red-head of ours loves to hang out in her Daddy's office as he works. Visit our quiet heavy footed, stinky binkie loving girl @leporidaelovely on Instagram

********************

Jaks (aka Jelly Bean) passed away very peacefully at home on October 2nd 2018. He was 13 years old. He valiantly fought congestive heart failure just 3 days short of 3 years. He was a trooper when it came to all of his heart meds everyday, he was a trooper for everything that this life unfairly threw at him. First locked in a closet for his first year, than as a stressed out store mascot for a year, than going through many other challenges. He was always most happiest being in the studio with me, with our music on, snoozing his days away all toasty warm near the heating rad. He loved his morning oats, practicing his kung-fu chops and showing any broom or vacuum whose boss. Miss you everyday Jelly Bean. Your tenacity is now part of mine XO.

Betty-Loo White

Betty-Loo White

Betty-Loo White was not with us long enough. We adopted her in February of 2018, we had her for less than 4 months. She was sadly one of the buns who slipped through the shelter cracks & her teeth were a big problem right from the start. She passed away from heart failure during a necessary but routine dental procedure. She was our beautiful fluffy girl who will always leave a hole in our hearts. 4 months was more than enough time to completely fall in love with her gentle spirit. She was at the shelter a whole year & it breaks our hearts that we hadn't even begun to make up all the wrong that was done to her. She was only 5 year old and she leaves behind Henrie whom she bonded with instantly upon coming home. She was one of the rare adoptions who was super easy right from the start (despite the health problems) & we miss her so much. I am sorry we couldn't do better by you Betty-Loo, you were too gentle & good for this world.
