Inktober 2021 #19 – Loop

Some may not believe it but there was one point in my life when I had tons of bows and hair accessories. Those were dark times. 😆 My family and I were sitting in the living room watching TV. I asked my dad if I could do his hair and he agreed. I didn’t have…

Inktober 2021 #22 – Open

I instantly knew what I was going to do for the prompt Open. I have a picture on my wall in my studio of my dad and I participating in my 4-H groups Open Fun Show. My 4-H group put on an Open Fun Show every year. It was called an Open Show because anyone…

Inktober 2021 #18 – Moon

It was a dark and stormy Halloween night. The moon was full and the ghouls howled down the streets. Just kidding. It was dark but it wasn’t storming. It was just really, really cold though. And the ghouls howling was more like the wind blasting past you and making your eyes water. I don’t even…

Ticks are pretty gross. I’ve become very familiar with ticks. My entire life I have been outdoors, in the woods, in the fields, in the flower beds. When I was younger, my dad and I would walk through the fields and pastures a lot together which is when he taught me about ticks. I remember…

Inktober 2021 #13 – Roof

My dad was a handyman. He was especially good at woodworking but he was a welder for Jeep for over 20 years so he was a good metal worker too. I was always amazed by what he could make. He always had projects going on and was very meticulous with his work. He wasn’t just…
