Description from Smoky Rose: Woke up this morning to 40 degree weather! Look in the back yard, who's there.....Polar Bear! It is 'supposed' to go up to 70 today - obviously, he missed that part.. Since he's eating me out of house and home, I figure the least he can do is some chores.... So, Polar Bear cut the grass this morning - and now his big white paws are watercolor green..... it's a look.

Shannon aka Silly Chick says:Hi Smoky! What an industrious creature is your Polar Bear! Green paws sound lovely! If he’s gonna hang around like this, he should share in the upkeep – it’s only fittin’! Likewise, I think he needs a name…and, at 70 deg, a kiddie pool filled with ice water!
This pick in PB’s honor is delicious – Better keep Sexy Chick away – you know how she loves Bear Soup!!!

Dizzy Chick Lori Z says:Brrrrr! I think the Polar Bear looks good with green paws! Really neat pick, it all pulls together so well!

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:The Saga Continues… I love this, Mary! You picked the perfect shade of green for the grass stains on Polar Bear’s whitish paws! What a great, fun pick! Keep ‘em coming!

Smoky Rose says:no ice filled pools – couple more cold mornings, couple more chores, and he’s out – enough is enough!
the green paws are a good look!
Thanks girls! I appreciate you humoring me!

Smoky Rose says:we’re usually encouraged to leave such things in childhood, Ivy
– I just refuse! Thank you!
Shannon, he’ll be here another couple mornings – and then back in November. Much to everybody’s dismay, there will be more polar bear

Smoky Rose says:No, Little Chick – I haven’t….
the wire I did have on hand was too fine ie: 26g. Over this past weekend I picked up both copper and pink rolls in 22g and I will soon! I’m thinking fancy jasper for the pink, blue fwp for the copper.
-but camera came and I’ve been playing with it. Thank you!
Shannon – he sends post cards, I’ll keep ya posted.
Thank you, Sparkle Chick!!

CAS says:Mare, remind PB that he has to wash his paws before eating, and to take a map when he finally leaves, so he doesn’t get lost and end up back at your house again. (Perfect PB Pick!)
