Lets All Get Nice sign

March 29, 2013

I have had my eye on a old board on a tree. An old tree is not anything extra ordinary but an old tree with a board on it is! Today I had some free time after delivering a few paintings so I gathered my paints and ladder and went on a painting excursion. The sky was sunny  and I reckon that made me want to go back out. I need the sun. I need to paint.

Near where the board on the tree is I heard some noise. I looked into the woods and bushes and saw a gathering of folks drinking non-fancy brews. I could see legs and arms and laughing through the brush. The brush creatures were talking and arguing.  Some cussing was taking place as well. They seem distraught at times so I figured they needed a big orange and white bear. I took to the ladder and painted them a sign.

I had another phrase in mind but this one struck me when I was working– So I wrote,”LETS ALL GET NICE.”

Some school kids were walking by on the sidewalk and several of them hollered over and asked me what the sign was for. I told them it was just like the sign said… be nice. They said they liked it. They probably thought I was crazy but that is ok too. One fella said, “Good sign.” That made me glad inside. I figure painting that sign made me have a good day.

   

Note: I found out that this sign had gone missing after less than 48 hours. No good.
