This sunflower still life was done from life when we had the Mixed Media meeting here last month. Its a vase of silk flowers Debbie made and gave me, and that's just what it turned out looking like - fake flowers, so I tried to give them more life and over worked it a little. It was a good exercise with the pastels. It's being framed now.
Finally finished the ironing, so Joe has levis with a crease to go to town in. I seldom iron. I hate it more than anything. Cleaned the silverware today. Also got the cat poo in the shed cleaned up. I think they are going outside more....a little more. I have seen all five cats and that always makes me feel better that they are doing o.k. - and have escaped the coyotes and hawks.
We just got some irrigation water in the ditch today. Joe has started with his daily irrigating. It will be slow at first until the water gets spread out some. It sinks right in the ground at first. Many people have had water on their fields for some weeks now, and the river is so low and the ditch so dry its taken a long time for the water to get here to us. Our ditch is about 9 miles long from the headgate on the East Fork River.
Bobbi is having to stay in the corral and eat hay because of her chronic founder. She can't have wet green grass. She has been doing fairly well for quite a while now. Nube doesn't go very far away from her. Joe will feed her there every day.
Beverly called this morning. They made it to Disney World o.k. It was 9 a.m. in Florida but only 7 here so not being a morning person it was pretty early. She, Brent and Clayton left Vegas at 11 p.m. and had a four hour flight. That made it about 5 or 6 a.m. when they got there. There they are staying in the Yellowstone Lodge Hotel and she says its wonderful. They went right to their room and slept for a while then walked around some easy part of Disney World for the rest of the day. Tomorrow they are going through - is it Universal Studios. Anyway she said it is 55 square miles. A bus takes them everywhere from the hotel. I told her to tell Taz that Mom loves him, especially the spinning. After D.W. they are spending some time at a nice hotel right on the beach. They are also going to Kennedy Space Center and other touristy things. I'll keep you posted of any adventures. She said so far they hadn't seen alligators.

Ooo, nice! I have never seen this one before I don't think, and not many florals at all. Thanks for sharing it with us.
