In early spring it became apparent that Rowdy had sneakily put on a few extra pounds. (I could feel his ribs all winter, I swear! But he was storing the fat in other strategic areas.) We began daily jogging sessions in March. Rowdy quickly got back into shape, and as he shed his winter fur, he began to look more like a horse instead of a bear.

These puppets stand about 8 feet tall. In April they joined the Peace Vigil for the Middle East, in conjunction with The Moses Code. They would love to get out more often! Contact me if you have an event you’d like to invite them to.

In February I brought my paints into Absolutely Art and enjoyed the warm sun and friendly atmosphere of their gallery. Each month they have a new show, and their store is always brimming with gorgeous work by local artists.
They are located at 2322 Atwood Ave. Madison, WI 53704, on Madison’s near East side, next to Cafe Zoma and on the Capitol City bike path. http://www.absolutelyartllc.com
