Thursday journal with Neet

 The Words this week are 'You don't have to be crazy to be my friend- I'll train you' Alison's having a peaceful morning away from work, visiting her friend Ellen who looked very relaxed sitting on her lawn with her pet owl on her leg, and a huge ladybird fascinator on her head. It was a really lovely friendly owl, but Alison thought her friend was a bit crazy having an owl as her pet, and why wear a hat in the garden on such a lovely Autumn day. She felt she was far more normal by having a somewhat neurotic dachshund called Sid. Sid was busy keeping his eyes on the owl. waiting for an opportunity to chase it. "Don't even think about it Sid" warned Alison assuming Sid could understand everything she said. The two girls chatted about work for a while and then the subject of pets came up and Alison said "I think I am far too normal to be your friend if we are going to disagree on the subject of pets" said Alison. "Oh" replied Ellen, "You don't have to be crazy to be my friend -I'll train you" Ellen thought to herself that Alison was part way to crazy already with Sid as her choice of pet.

I am linking this to Alison's theme of Autumn colours and inspiration on Art Journal Journey

Lovely to have you back in circulation. Must admit I have been worrhying we had the same quote in our heads after all this time and almost rang you to check.
Great page with all the autumn leaves around, you managed to turn the table really well. Unfortunately mine was indoors so I tried to change clothing to more autumnal colours and then threw some leaves in, in a bit of a panic. Am hoping folks will forgive me. Just glad we are back on our normal path, did me good to see you there this morning.
Hugs, Neet xx

It's good to see you back Wendy. I can't imagine what a pet owl would be like. I love your fall take, and how you stuck the leaf on the dog's head. That's great. Hope you have finally settled down into your new home. And thanks for joining Alison's challenge too. hugs-Erika
