The Hornberger family is in need of a front yard fence. Herbert, the big 5lb. Chihuahua, has stepped up his guard duty. Not sure why, maybe cause he’s learned to hike his leg higher… had to, the grass needed to be mowed…. 
So now he’s decided he can take down that big truck with a cattle trailer that goes by our house on a regular basis. Richard almost had a stroke… Came straight in the house and told on Herbert. Herbert had his little chest all stuck out. The little fool.
I was all set to build flower beds… I got dirt. Really nice loamy dirt. So excited about my dirt. I’ve always had flowers, herbs, etc. This house was/is in need of so much love/$ flower beds/dirt wasn’t on the list.. or not very high on the list. But if you whine loud, long, and often… things will happen. I got dirt for my birthday! Two big piles/14 yds.
Now that super dawg thinks he’s The Mexican Godzilla… I gotta have a fence first. The little jerk. And to think I cook for him. Yes, I’m a fool. He’s so skinny, plays with dry dog food, so I cook chicken and rice. He has not gained an ounce. NaDa… It’s just not working.
Back to the fence…. guess that’s the next thing on the list. It’s gotta be cute… the house is so ugly… the fence has to be cute. OK, maybe it’s not REAL ugly…. I just love old houses. Truly love them. Richard tolerates them. They have a soul. They talk to you in the middle of the night. They move an inch this way or that way.. and give you a surprise. Like our bathroom door. It has shut for 4 years…. it no longer does that. Surprise! (snort, giggle) Who cares…. The house will shift, the door will close. TaDah!
And yes, old houses have ghosts. Real ones. No, not really spooky. Not when you realize they’re not going to hurt you. Sometimes you see ‘em… sometimes you don’t. I prefer the ones that I don’t see. It’s just a preference… :) Smart dogs or cats can tell you when they’re around. Herbert does a low growl, stands real stiff, doesn’t take his eyes off of the spot. Shirley gets spooked. She gets in a crouching position… then under the nearest furniture. Nope, I don’t watch the ghost shows on TV. In front of a camera, people will do almost anything.
Time for me to get in the studio. Ya’ll have a great day! It’s Monday… let’s get this show on the road…

This was a lazy Sunday. No art, just played on Facebook…. I did learn some things about a new paint I want to try. Facebook is so good for that. I try to friend as many artists as possible. Post a question, and someone will give you what they know about it. What generous people.
A big fat nap was required today. Herbert needed it badly… so I had to go along with the idea. That dog works hard harassing Shirley the cat. He needs his rest. Now we have a stray kitten. So far it’s not requiring petting, but I’m working on him. At least he’ll eat cat food.
R made crunchy tacos for supper. Oh, soooo gooood! You know how you get hungry for a certain taste? I’m fat and happy! He got the seasoning perfect. I’m not crazy about Taco seasoning… so we do it from scratch. Taco Snobs! eek!
OK, I’m done.. roll me over. Hope you had a positive weekend… everything you wanted it to be. Now make this week something you’ll be proud of. Share your good mood. Share a giggle… they’re contagious. Decide to be happy. It’s your choice!
When you’re just so terribly bored….
and thanks for reading my craziness…
It’s required in Texas to put entirely too many words in every sentence… did you know that? Well, it’s the God’s Honest Truth. And you’re required to tell big fat lies every chance you get. Yes, we have weird laws… but we’re happy!

Yesterday I worked on a new painting. 3 cats posing for their portrait. I hope to finish it today. Did you get a chance to check out the Black Cat Rattle I have on PFATT Marketplace? He’s really cute, has a nice smile. Also, there’s lots of other good art on there. I’m enjoying having my art on PFATT. They make it easy for me, and are very professional. So check them out.
My new website, PJ Hornberger Folk Art is my pride & joy. It’s what I’ve wanted for years. It has different pages for different mediums. Pay Now buttons, so you don’t have to email me. Makes shopping much easier, faster. And I did it myself! That’s the best part. So I can update/change it as I want. Not have to wait for someone else to have the time to do it. Makes me very happy. I hope you’re liking it also. If you have any suggestions how I could make it better, please leave a comment here. I’m still in the building stage on it, and welcome input.
Everyone is complaining about the heat? Not me! Last summer we did over 100 for over 45 days in a row. So far, here, we haven’t hit 100. We’ve had plenty of rain also. No, not bragging…. just very thankful. We complain way too much. Need to practice being thankful. It would make for a much better day. (big grin) xo PJ

As you can see, these 3 have a lot to say…. always. Pinky, not so much. She knows she looks good. Those other two are in to everything, and proud of it.

Finished these last night. They do have an attitude. They’ll be on the Online art gallery page in just a sec. and probably on Etsy too. Gotta get my act together to get all this stuff done. My purse is waiting for me. It’s calling my name. Gotta make an ugly purse….

Leona has her very own pet bird…. don’t know what kind it is, but she does love those hot pink feathers on it’s head. Gotta be thinkin’ of a name for that bird… something real different like… Vernell. What do you think? Is that a folk art primitive painting or what?
the men in my life…. I carved these many many years ago… true primitives. The two shorter ones are the very first ones I carved. So glad I kept them. The white guy has fallen over so many times, he’s broken his bat brim off. Oh well, he don’t care. Those two and the one with the tall hat are my favorites. Folk art talks to you. It always has a story.
Tomorrow’s Friday. Get yourself tuned up for the weekend. Try to keep it fun and legal. LOL
