Tuesdays Topic: The Art of Fun
April Fools Day is not my favorite day of the year. I have never liked the mean tricks so many people like … being hurt or hurtful is not my idea of fun. My daughter called me at work today to tell me she had thought about calling me with a really mean April Fools Day joke about my grandson … but she decided not to since I am trying to quit smoking … I was grateful to miss out on being the object of a mean vicious “joke” …. she was concerned that I would go buy a pack of cigarettes if she did.
I do like reading the funny stuff people come up with like Google’s About Gmail Paper or CafePress’s LoveMatch Service Announcement
My contribution to April Fools Day this year is a painting of a Kite Eating Tree … April is National Kite Month 
… ALWAYS avoid power lines and kite eating trees when flying kites!

oh no a kite eating tree — just when I was thinking of all the fun Kite festivals coming up, eeek! I didn’t know it was national kite month - more inspiration, yay! Thanks so much for your thoughts for the day… so glad we made it through another Fool’s day!

One just never knows with kite eating trees
… I know that RPG games as well as old fashioned reading books can feed one’s drawing and painting fevers too as well as writing fancies … oh … fantasies … LOL
