Willie Nelson's Armadillo

Yes you read the title of this post correctly.

Willie Nelson's Armadillo.

Sounds like a new paint color, but sorry - no - I'm not painting a dresser Armadillo Gold.

I was scrolling through my photos looking for a DIY project that was already completed but that I had never posted.

I found a couple past project pic's and they didn't excite me anymore now than they did when I made them.  So not posting.

Why am I searching for stuff to post about?

I'm busy working on a couple things and when a whole week goes by without putting fingers to keyboard, the earth quakes and I worry Bliss Ranch will fall into a fissure in the earths crust, never to return.

Maybe I'm being a bit dramatic.

But after 7 days, emails from my wonderful readers start to trickle in asking if everything is alright.

Everything is dandy, which sounds better than just saying I got really lazy after my vacation, and like 99% of you I've got stuff that's gotta be done every day other than painting something cool.

So my lazy self decided to post something random from amongst my photos.  Variety is the spice of life no?

So here he is.....Willie Nelson's armadillo.

Yup, a DIY armadillo.  Or is that an SIY - stuff it yourself?

I was on stage with Ol'Dillo as he is called - which I learned was his name about 5 minutes ago when I looked it up - and I snapped a couple pictures of him.

Yeah it sounds really cool to say I was on stage.  But I was, and I've done that often.

Before you start asking for an autograph, I wasn't singing, and I'm not even sure I'm a Willie fan.

I streaked across the stage.

Not really, that's a lie.

I had no idea Ol' Dillo had an actual purpose, or that he was going to go missing.  I mean I could of taken the last known photo of him before he was dillo-napped.

He even has his own Facebook page.  I have not looked it up.  Should I?

All I knew was an armadillo looked out of place sitting on music equipment.  At least to me.  Maybe in the circle that Willie travels that's normal.

You can read about the little armor wearing critter who went missing - twice - {here}.

Right about now I know what you're thinking.  No I have not lost my mind.  

Here he is from the other side.

Stuffed stiff.

Did I buy some time getting a DIY post done by distracting you with Willies armadillo?

I have lots of other random and off topic (for me) stuff and junk I could do a follow up post about.  Maybe if another week goes by around here without some DIY going down, I'll do this again.

Hey yeah, come to think of it, I meant to do this random post, it's Random Friday at the Bliss Ranch blog. 

Believe that last sentence?  You shouldn't.
