“O-vrrrr the rihh-vr —” Tal sings a song from her memory file marked ESD- Elementary School Days. “and thruuuu the woods —” “Didn’t we sing that song before Thanksgiving?” Nia checks her ESD file. “Indeed… We did.” Calliope confirms. “A prelude for…
I like your adaptation of the stock original to one fully embracing Thalia! Or is that a generic curly haired woman?? What’s a road trip without a dog?! Over The River indeed! I remember it well.
In contrast with winter’s cold, the tree atop the car reminds me of my first summer job. Trimming Christmas trees. Scotch pines mostly, in seemingly never ending rows. $1.00 per hour. 1965.
I felt a temptation to refer to Cal as Miss Segue. Smooth as silk. Both quotes today remind me of the book title, Strong In The Broken Places. Not an automatic result but one requiring our participation, allowing/asking for help. Then doing the work.

I have always had a great appreciation for people who "call it like they see it".
I'd noticed, and set aside, the hole this year's Frasier fir.

Oh! My single reply appeared twice. I deleted one — and they both disappeared. 🤷♀️
The pop-song version?
Tal is not allowed to drive… yet.
Trimming pines sounds… prickly.
Cal appreciates your appreciation.
I showed your car/tree artwork to Deb.
DEB: Cute!

Thanks to you and Deb!
As previously noted, I really like mixed media possibilities. In my model, the artist had also used buttons for the car’s tires.
Perhaps as I go forward, I will be blue to bring more elements of that forward powered by my own imagination. 😁
