New class ideas and a Visitor

Oh my Gosh, Oh mygosh, Ohmygosh...I'm soooooo excited about this new class idea..
I've been working it out..and I can't show you the whole thing..but here are some little peeks..

But I don't know about teaching you how to do 'dots' I think that will have to be later..but for now, this is all I'm showing you, until I have the whole thing worked out..All I can say about it, is the people I have ran it by so far LOVE IT!! Me too :)

This guy, we think, is the one Hubby found back at the first of summer..

He's hiding out in the tomatoes, there is a 'big red ant' bed near there..We are so happy to be be his host..we hope he finds a mate and they make our little place home for along time..

Thanks for the comments on the last post..I have gotten several of these letters in the last few years..I just wanted to blog about it..for you never see the 'other' end of things from most people.. If you are an artist, you make your art for you, if others don't like it, or it doesn't fit their needs.. so be it..it came from the heart and that's what counts!! Thanks for your kind words! I'll keep plugging along and hope you do too.

Have a great Monday..we are off to the local Water Park with the girls to have some fun !

See ya!

Spring has sprung here on the prairie.

Just a quick note today..I'm painting cabinets in freaking huge shop...

 I did see a scissor tail, a robin and swallows all in the last 2 days! Spring has arrived here on 77 Ranch Road!! But no one told the wind to quit....it's quite blustery here, glad I'm working inside.

Don't forget to sign up for the give-O-way on yesterday's post!! Plus check out the other Cowgirls on the trail ride!!

Happy Wednesday!

More walking

Yesterday, Blogger wouldn't let me upload..so here are some more of our walks:


This one has had NO tinkering..the sky looked that blue thru the lens..it was great..I just wished I'd taken my other lens, the bird would have been clearer and closer..next time..





This is on a gate, I love it:

All weather worn and was used a reflector on the gate...

This is my favorite fence post..lol..

All knotty and weathered and gnarly, just standing there, doing it's job holding up the fence that holds in, right now, 6 yearlings. They run every time we walk near..it's funny to watch them. They watch us to a certain point then turn tail and beat it...you would think they would be used to us, but not yet, I suppose.

I want to try to capture some of the birds we see..we flush a covey of quail almost every time we walk...they are usually in one of two places...the first time scared the bejeebies out of me..now I wait for it to happen when I get close and if it doesn't, I'm disappointed..We see hawks, field larks, sparrows, wrens..

Have a great day!

Nothing to say until:

So, today was pretty uneventful...I couldn't get going this morning...but I did get out and ride the Harley into town to do some errands, and that was fun. Hot but Fun..it's been OVER 100 here for the last week and a half! It may be in the high 90's by the weekend..woohooo coldfront..whatever...

But then we came home this afternoon to this:

Not Good..we almost had an accident on the highway because of some rubber neckers in a little white car..so if your reading this,little white car: "your stoopid to just stop when traffic is behind you!"...then finally made it up to the Shop Shack...Ran in go the camera, hub got out the Razor and we were off to see what was going on.
Remember this barn? I wrote about it a few months ago:

This whole pasture was on fire, a farmer lost some hay and some other out building burned but we have not heard what else..they think it's arson.

This was really cool to watch..they were just so smooth and precise with it..but I did notice the Sheriff's car had been doused too..

Hub has to call his friend to see what all happened, it was her land, she owns 77 Ranch and this was part of it...
I would like the thank all the Volunteer Fire Departments that came out, several of the areas trucks were here to help.
I took a ton of photos, too bad blogger is being cranky tonight..
see you tomorrow..t
