It was very windy in Bossy’s neighborhood yesterday, and the clouds were sailing by at breakneck speed. So Bossy threw on a hard hat and stood in her tree covered backyard and looked up to see what she could find.
Take that first cloud photo, above. Please. Bossy sees a bird!
But then a funny thing happened to that bird cloud. It broke up and got all weird:
Wait — that’s not a weird broken-up cloud! It’s a cherub!
Next came this cloud:
In no time Bossy saw a Great Dane in that cloud! A Great Dane with a shoe nose:
And then along came this little tangle of vapor:
Who sees the rodent:
And next, Bossy will try to figure out an interesting way to introduce yet another cloud:
Bossy sort of sees a giraffe. Or a bird:
Which is when this deeply disturbed formation of ice crystals drifted by:
Bossy spied the profile right away:
And last but not least, this rotund number:

February 13, 2009 at 10:32 amBossy’s mind is a weird and wonderful thing to hang around with.

February 13, 2009 at 10:35 amReally kind of scraping the bottom of the barrel for content ideas,huh?
Heather R says
February 13, 2009 at 10:37 amBossy is a hoot
Say What? says
February 13, 2009 at 10:43 amI’m wondering why Bossy needed the hardhat. Was that so she wouldn’t be hit with any falling cloud particles?
kristin says
February 13, 2009 at 10:50 amBossy has some impressive imagination.
Sandy Shoes says
February 13, 2009 at 10:50 amWhat has Bossy been smoking?
Diane G says
February 13, 2009 at 10:51 amHow fun!
Lizzy says
February 13, 2009 at 10:58 amI think the Jester looks like a young Ronald Reagan. Anyone? Anyone?
Grandma J says
February 13, 2009 at 11:08 amSo, this takes the place of shopping, going to concerts and spending money in foolish ways, preserving the families assets for more important things like mental illness meds…I mean food.
You are way too funny, Miss Bossy!!
bossy's friend martha says
February 13, 2009 at 11:17 amThe last one is totally The Grinch. A shout out to Bossy from Seuss himself!
Enrico says
February 13, 2009 at 11:20 amI love seeing clouds make strange shapes. I actually saw some the other day and was going to make a blog post about it, but my camera phone didn’t take the best pictures…
Cheri @ Blog This Mom! says
February 13, 2009 at 11:26 amI must disagree, on behalf of Laura, my child, the duck enthusiast. The great dane? A duck. Quack.

February 13, 2009 at 12:03 pmGoon Squad Sarah thinks Bossy needs therapy and spends a lot of time thinking about Pete Best.
Undomestic Diva says
February 13, 2009 at 12:38 pmI think I just regressed twenty years, and it is awesome.
Lisa says
February 13, 2009 at 12:44 pmI have fond memories of my Dad and I laying in the backyard and looking at the clouds and discussing what they looked at. That practice branched out for me to the brown hills of California and this weird floor covering we have a work where sometimes when sitting on the toilet, I see faces and animals in the shapes on the floor.
POD says
February 13, 2009 at 12:48 pmNow we know where Pete Best went after the Beatles chose Ringo.

February 13, 2009 at 12:56 pmWhen I was a little girl I used to do this with the yellow roses on my bedroom wallpaper.
I totally saw the Wild Boar.
joeinvegas says
February 13, 2009 at 12:58 pmI think I have to agree with the general comments, was Bossy smoking those funny cigarettes again, eating brownies her college son brought home or did your prescription for meds run out?
Kristine says
February 13, 2009 at 1:04 pmI saw the last one, but I sooooo didn’t get what you saw in the others until you drew the lines.
Momo Fali says
February 13, 2009 at 1:35 pmDid Bossy tell her neighbor she was seeing these things? Because someone might come and take Bossy away soon. Though, I saw everything that Bossy saw (except I thought the great dane was Woody Woodpecker), so maybe we can ask for adjoining padded rooms.
Reeb says
February 13, 2009 at 1:37 pmRemember lying on your back with a little friend, pointing to clouds and describing them? “That one looks like a dog, no that cloud there, and there’s its nose and there’s its tail and … oh heck, it’s already changed shapes. And you never saw it!”
Thanks to cameras and photoshop, we now get to see what our current little friend is seeing. Fun.
Reeb says
February 13, 2009 at 1:40 pmI see shapes and pictures in the paint squiggles on the fiberglas above where we sleep in our little boat. Those long, curving lines mostly tend to remind me of a nice male body part.
hal says
February 13, 2009 at 2:02 pmI remember when Bossy’s grandfather would make his little
Rorschach drawings using water blots on his napkin—must be something in the genes.
Domestic Goddess (in training) says
February 13, 2009 at 2:48 pmWas Bossy haning with Michael Phelps when seeing these artistic cloud creatures???

February 13, 2009 at 3:13 pmThat is way cool. I haven’t done that in so long, very clever.

Manic Mommy says
February 13, 2009 at 4:32 pmBossy puts the AT in Creative!
Beachmom says
February 13, 2009 at 4:43 pmdoes bossy have a housekeeper – when do you find the time for all of this fun creativity?
sarahbean says
February 13, 2009 at 4:48 pmwow – you are good at this game.
impressed.
rory says
February 13, 2009 at 5:14 pmWhat’s the name of the wine Bossy drinks? I need to get me some of that.
MemeGRL says
February 13, 2009 at 5:19 pmCourt jester it is not. It’s clearly Lady Elaine Fairchild from Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood. Lady Elaine was one of the puppets in the kingdom of King Friday the XIII.
JenKneeBee says
February 13, 2009 at 5:37 pmWow, I’m totally impressed. Your cloud drawings are amazing.
jandondi says
February 13, 2009 at 6:37 pmduring my mri this morning, i looked up and said, “are those supposed to be clouds painted on the ceiling?
(makes you feel so much better?) Maybe if bossy were there to outline the content…..
Chesapeake Bay Woman says
February 13, 2009 at 6:46 pmThis may represent the first time that Bossy fixates on animals rather than boyfriends or husbands–unless in the Rorschach system animals = men, in which case never mind.
Bush Babe of Granite Glen says
February 13, 2009 at 6:51 pmBossy… I know this will scare the pants off you, but I think we might be twins…

Emily says
February 13, 2009 at 7:38 pmThat’s about the longest blog entry I’ve ever seen – maybe a world’s record! Ummm – don’t you have some laundry to do?
Kerri Anne says
February 13, 2009 at 8:16 pmThe bird one totally looks like Buckbeak from the third Harry Potter movie. Annnd, cue nerdery!
HAGERDASH says
February 13, 2009 at 9:28 pmDo you earn an income from your blog? I hope so with all the time it must take you to write these fabulously creative posts.
Michelle says
February 13, 2009 at 9:47 pmHonestly, before you drew them in, I saw none of those things in those clouds. I just saw clouds. (Have you read It Looked Like Spilt Milk?)
Linda_M says
February 13, 2009 at 9:47 pmHee! And also funny comments!
Maria says
February 13, 2009 at 9:51 pmmy husband, as I have mentioned before, doesn’t read blogs. He just can’t. He doesn’t have the disposable time like I do. Anyway, we read this together…and well, does roflocao mean anything to you (our collective arses) again, bossy brings us together…especially after that fight we had last night.
But anyway, we were SO with you on the wild boar. Even before we saw that you thought it could be a wild boar we were all like “wild boar”.
And to you commenter who sees shapes in weird tile on the floor as she’s sitting on the toilet: “I KNOW, I so do that too…”
Anne says
February 14, 2009 at 12:43 amPete Best !?! Oh God you crack me up …
Mocha says
February 14, 2009 at 9:18 amWhatever crack you are smoking is boss. I want some.
Wow, but you are a talented woman. I think it’d be fun to lie in the grass next to you while you come up with cloud descriptions.
After smoking some crack, of course.
Mr Farty says
February 14, 2009 at 11:59 amI’ll have what BOSSY’s having.

Camille says
February 14, 2009 at 3:29 pmHmmm… I only saw the first one. I must be blind. Or an idiot.
Surrender Dorothy's husband says
February 14, 2009 at 4:28 pmSo, what is your favorite drink again?
holy wow…
Although…I did see more Abe Lincoln than court jester. And the giraffe/bird one reminded me of this:

February 15, 2009 at 11:43 pmReally. How do you do it? No. Really. How do you do it?
Christina says
February 16, 2009 at 1:19 amHilarious. I saw a ballerina doing a pirouette where you saw a Great Dane, though.
