It will be my inspiration for a later Toad poem for today, I will try to tell a whopper. Thank you. I have one in mind, not written, that I might write up if I can remember what. If I can't, then I had a whopper of a dream just before I woke up. <br /><br />Right now I'm sitting in a white rocking chair on our back porch watching the mower guy with his tractor out on the golf course. Having cracked open the iPad, now I'm waiting for our Katrin, toy poodle, to finish her morning things. <br />Best wishes on your drawing/painting project. I'd like to see your finished product.
