Mother of 3, Also Paints: May 22, 2020 . Day 67 of Covid -19 stay at home time. Hopefully soon. Today Gumby and Pokey are in their backyard. During these strange times, Gumby knows that Pokey should be doing some homeschool time but their adventures got in the way of that. Also Gumby kept thinking that maybe Pokey was learning more going places with the Door. This morning, Pokey is practicing his reading. Mostly he doesn’t really see the point of reading but today he has found two books he likes. One is about construction and trucks that he is interested in after visiting the construction site. The other book is about going on safari in Africa. Suddenly he is jumping up and down shouting” I get it! I get it!” “What?” mutters Gumby. Now Gumby has been sitting in his lounge chair having a little sip of wine and truthfully not really paying attention to Pokey! Pokey says@ I see now that all the letters make words and the words tell the story about the pictures! It’s almost like going somewhere with the Door but in my head!” So thinks Gumby this is good, now there should be some quiet time around here. And it is quiet for a while. Pokey moves on to the safari book and gets really excited! “ Gumby “ he says shaking him awake” our next trip should be to Africa! I want to see animals running free !” “ okay “ says Gumby half asleep and Pokey goes happily back to his book. Gumby pores a little more wine in his cup, puts his head back in the sun and drifts away. Pokey has learned to read! A big day! #sarahcowlingartist #gumbyandpokey#storytelling#reading#3dcollage#collage#paper#scissors#glue#londonartistsstudiotour #londonontario#ldnont#canadianartist#cbcarts#covidrelief
