Me and Mom know a very cool blogger named Low Rainy Day, and she . . .
What?
Oh.
Her name is Lorraine, says The Queen of Grammar who always has to get stuff just right.
Now let's see if I can continue without more interruptors.
Lorraine blogs at We are:Clamco. Me and Mom have liked Lorraine for a pretty long time, but we got even more interested in her when she started painting pretty things on rocks. Yes! Fur real rocks, like you find outside.
Lorraine even sells the pretty painted rocks, and we gots some. I can't show you pitchers of them because they're going to be Kissmas presents. You know how I love Kissmas.
But Lorraine said we can use some of her pitchers to show you her rocks.
Looky here:
Lorraine's rocks are so bootiful that she has sold most of them, but if you wanna see what she has left so you can buy
Some of them are sins of omission, which means . . .
What now?
Oh.
They're commissions, which means that people ask for them and Lorraine paints what they want on the rock.
But if you don't wanna buy rocks, it's okay. Me and Mom hope you will visit Lorraine because we think you will like the pitchers on her blog of her painting and then she shows us how the rocks turn out.
Mom actually said something pretty smart about the bootiful rocks. She said, Franklin, sometimes people say "dumb as a rock" or "stone deaf." Suck phrases suggest that a rock is as dead as anything can be. But when Lorraine turns a rock into art, then it lives because art is alive forever.
Don't you think Mom is rotund?
Oh.
Mom says she's not rotund and that the word I should use is profound. snicker snort
Mom is kinda rotund. snicker snort snicker snort
I wonder if I can hold a paintbrush in my paw.
Penlapee! Do you wanna take a nap?
Here she comes.
Okay I love you bye-bye.
I follow Lorraine's blog and have seen her incredible artwork. Her whole family are artistically talented.
ReplyDeleteI don't play FB though.
Wouldn't you and Penlapee look wonderful if she was to paint you?
Me and Penlapee always look wunnerful.
DeleteHi Franklin - I think the patience in painting on rock must be wonderful ... sadly I'm not artistic, nor am I that patient ...I try - not really a good word. Take care and if you get a chance give painting a try! Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI'll ask Santa Paws for some paints for Kissmas.
DeleteHi Franklin, This is Zoey, Lorraine's dog. Yeah, my mom spends so much time painting rocks lately that she hardly plays with me anymore, so I hang out with dad. She has this big pile of rocks on the floor of her office. It's so weird. I tried playing with them, but they're so heavy and they don't taste very good. I've noticed that she keeps painting other peoples' dogs, but she never paints me. I don't get it. Anyway, she was looking over my shoulder while I was reading your blog and she was smiling a lot. She told me to tell you that she really liked your post. Oh yeah, and you can hold a paintbrush in your mouth. I tried it and so did the cat.
ReplyDeleteHi! Hi hi hi hi hi, Zoey! It's nice to meet you. Hold the paintbrush in my mouth? Okay! It's nice that your mom likes my post. I'm blushing under my fur.
DeleteFranklin, you are so creative in your word usage! And I love those painted rocks -- especially Tom Petty, whoa!
ReplyDeleteMom really liked the Tom Petty rock, too. Doesn't Lorraine make him look exactly right? Thank you for appreciating my creativity.
DeleteWow! Now those are painted rocks! She's very talented.
ReplyDeleteYou would look very handsome on a rock, Franklin. :)
Well, yeah, but I look handsome everywhere.
DeleteThose are gorgeous. I must check them out.
ReplyDeleteYes, you must. Every buddy must.
DeleteThat dog has such a way with words!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I love writing my blog.
DeleteOK, Franklin, you know you mustn't ever chew on one of those pretty rocks, right? Better make sure your sister knows this too. I have a sister named Faith, she always acts like she's so well behaved, but she's sneaky. Girls are like that. Bye, your Samson
ReplyDeleteHi, Samson! Hi! Hi! I promise not to chew on rocks. I'll watch Penlapee, too.
DeleteAn interesting post, in that I found a painted rock just yesterday. It had a pretty bird painted on it with the word "dream" and on the reverse side it said to hide it somewhere so someone else could find it.
ReplyDeleteMe and Mom read on Lorraine's blog that she has hidden some rocks for people to find.
DeleteThank you for the pointed to Lorraine's blog. I'm a follower now. Brilliant bunch!
ReplyDeleteEvery buddy in Lorraine's family is an artist.
DeleteYou'd look beautiful ON a rock, Franklin, just not UNDER one!!
ReplyDeleteGosh, thanks, Mrs. Ducky.
DeleteActually, Franklin, I think I like "Low Rainy Day" better!
ReplyDeleteMe too !
DeleteYeah, but Mom wants everything all correct and stuff.
Deletefranklin you are gud dug friday gud dug writin' on friday just like square dug friday you need friday should be gud dug franklin day
ReplyDeletewoof iwinston
Hi, Mandibles! Mom says that every day is gud dug franklin day.
DeleteHAHA! Franklin, you are adorable. These rocks are amazing! The one with Tom Petty just blew me away. Okay, on my way over to the Facebook page and the website.
ReplyDeleteMom played some Tom Petty music for me. He looked like he sounded.
DeleteOh wow - Lorraine is very talented. Her painting is wonderful! Thanks for spreading the word, Franklin.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Jenny with the ouchie back.
DeleteThose rock art pieces are beautiful. What a brilliant talent. Thanks Franklin for introducing me to a new blog 😉. I'm heading over to check it out now. Have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteHave fun looking at the rocks, pretty Miss Murees.
DeleteHell yes they are beautiful indeed
ReplyDeleteMom says I'm not supposed to say hell, but it's okay if you say it. She also says it's okay if she says it.
DeleteThe rocks are SO cute! Thanks for sharing about Lorraine!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like the rocks. You are pretty, Silver Willow. Silver Fox visits us, too. Are you related to him?
DeleteOh my gosh, those rocks are beautiful. She is so talented.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Franklin, hope you have a weekend filled with treats.
I get a treat every night at bedtime. It's a dentastix to keep my toofers healthy.
DeleteOh Franklin, have you been painted on a rock yet?
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful, and may keep me from using my paint pens to decorate rocks for a bit longer now (until I find a 5 year old nearby who I can say did them) ;)
No, I'm not painted on a rock. You can paint on rocks and say I did them.
DeleteWow, that is so cool! When you said painted rocks, I was hardly expecting something that detailed.
ReplyDeleteI just put googly eyes on mine. It makes it seem like my garden is watching you.
I love googly eyes!
DeleteThanks, Franklin. Those are some nice rocks. Did you know that some people make pets out of their rocks? Give your mom a big doggy kiss for me.
ReplyDeleteMom told me that pet rocks used to be real popular. I kissed Mom.
DeleteFranklin, we certainly think your mom is profound;)
ReplyDeleteFor a human bean she's pretty profound.
DeleteShe paints pretty rocks. My son, Bubba paints rocks, too. He puts google eyes on his.
ReplyDeleteBubba is an artist.
DeleteI love her rocks.
ReplyDeleteWait. That sounded horrible.
I love your rocks, Penwusser.
DeleteOops. That wasn't Franklin's response.
DeleteHow does she get so much detail in such a small, rocky space? It's really impressive, Franklin. Those are rocks you might otherwise poop on, right? Don't do it.
ReplyDeleteLove to you and mommy.
I don't poop on rocks and I don't wanna talk about my poop anyway because it's personal.
DeleteI love that first rock with the baby giraffe and parent. So sweet.
ReplyDeleteI wonder who my mama was. It's okay. Now I have Mom.
DeleteSome people are so talented! The Tom Petty portrait on a rock was awesome. I like Lorraine's portraits of dogs on rocks. I hope all is well with you!
ReplyDeleteThose rocks are really pretty and are MUCH better than those old pet rocks used to be. (Or maybe they're still around? I dunno...) Anyhow, Lorraine is one talented gal.
