Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for January 13, 2024

Doggie is about to have a happy yellow accident on it

I was amazed to discover recently that Bob Ross was a retired USAF sergeant. He said he hated yelling at people and when he retired adopted that mellow attitude.

Meh

I loved Bob Ross’ Joy of Painting. I never could master his happy little trees, no matter how hard I tried.

Oaks, along with cedars are among my favorite trees. Our property also has maples and dogwoods. I tolerate pines as long as they are more than falling distance from the house. I’ve declared war on gumball trees and not a one still exists on my property.

Bob Ross’ “happy tress” usually have more foliage and longer branches. Clever reference.

Bob used to say “make friends with a tree”, and the dog is about to.

His trees were mostly evergreens

Everyone forgets that a man named William Alexander had a painting show with “happy” trees and sky and reflections, etc. long before Bob Ross. (Ross copied him.) It bothers me that no one remembers William Alexander.
