We went to an art class where we made clay PENGUINS!!! OMG!!! I love PENGUINS!! Mom’s pengiun looks like it is part penguin and part possum ha ha ha! We decided to make warrior penguins so he is holding a sword. This way the penguins can protect their homeland.This is me with Collista who taught the class she is really beautiful and was so nice and really helpful. She knows a lot about clay penguins did I mention that I love PENGUINS!!! I can hardly wait to see our penguin when it is fired and glazed.Our pepper plants are growing like crazy! I am a Tiger a carnivore but I will sometimes eat a vegetable.We are are also growing hot peppers that are supposed to be not too hot. Mom thinks they are going to turn yellow or red so we have not tried one yet.Here is our current foster kitten he is so stripey!!! He was really unsure about people at first but now he loves to play with mom and purrs when she pets him. His name is Chauncey.
It has been very hot lately and even the dinosars who like it hot wanted some relief so we got them umbrellas.We went to the Farmer’s Market! This is me with Jodi the owner and baker of Alcyone Baked Goods. Jodi is super gorgeous and is super nice! We got some banana bread which was to die for!!! We highly recommend!We went to the Museum of Arts and Culture which has an exhibit of Preston Singletary’s work called Raven and the Box of Daylight. Mr. Singletary is a Native American artist and we have seen his work in other art museums as well. It is AMAZING what he can do with glass! I almost did not post this photo because it does not do justice to the work; the canoe, the paddles, the fish and the river are all made of glass. How do you make a canoe out of glass??!! There are many versions of the story of Raven and the Box of Daylight and the exhibit was really wonderful.Our friends Heather and Mitch had an ice cream party – Yayyyy! Tigers LOVE ice cream! Me and mom made mango-coconut bread to take to the party. It was nowhere near as good as the banana bread we got from Jodi but people seemed to like it. Almost anything goes good with ice cream!
We went to an Art Festival in Coeur d’Alene and walked along the street but did not see any art it was all the vendors with stores who had put out tents to sell their stuff. The city of Coeur d’Alene is named after the Native American people from this area and it means Heart of the Awl. Awl not Owl.Then we found out we were at the street fair and needed to walk to a park where the art festival was. It was a very scenic walk along the lake! I wanted to play on the beach and jump in the water but mom said Not Now. I guess that is better than No.It was a super nice park with super green grass to walk on which is much nicer than hot asphalt. The best part was lunch from Island Noodles food truck and mom was happy too because they had a vegan option with lots of vegies and even though I am a Tiger a Carnivore it was delicious!This was a second best thing a GIANT sand castle!!! I would have REALLY liked to play on it but mom said Definitely Not.
