Shell 2

Can you hear it?

Tomatoes

Tomatoes on the vine are the best since they come with their own handle. If you come over, we’ll make Caprese Salad. (Colored Pencil, Italian wife)

G = Grasshopper Playing Guitar

Instead of fleeing by jumping away, this grasshopper played me a diddy with his finely tuned guitar. It was a country song. "I've got a friend in low places." I sang along, then put a dollar in his little black hat. Hoping he had a good meal that night.

Z = Zebra Ziplining

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Z!

Y = Yak Doing Yoga

Get that Yoga mat out and get healthy! This Yak is performing the “Downward Dog”. Today is for the letter “Y”.

N = Newt Wearing a Napkin

While having dinner out on Valentine’s Day, I look over at the next table and spot a Newt wearing a napkin, hungrily waiting for his dinner. Mind you, it was a very small table for a very small Newt. I overheard his name was “Norman.”

HOLY CRAP! Did you see that?! A moose on a motorcycle just passed me. I have to draw this! Find Tshirts here !

L = Llama On A Ladder

I’ve been climbing a ladder a lot to clean up the snow and try to remove ice from my gutters. It’s not a fun job in the winter. I’d much prefer it if a llama would volunteer for the job. Rumor has it, they are good with ladders. Day 12 = “L”.

Remember that time we were playing football in the back yard and that red fox we’ve been seeing around the neighborhood jumped out of the bushes, intercepted the football, struck a “Heisman” pose and took off down the street?! Yeah, that Fox. Today is brought to you...
