Cottonwoods Willows Rabbitbrush - Pastel

This morning I made a list of all the computer problems so I could let Best Buy know the details. Until the comuter is repaired there will be no more blogging - and with yesterday's blog I'll gradually be catching up about six weeks of journaling - I'm now writing the next 5 weeks about the end of the first week of November. Hope it's not too confusing until I get to the present. It will be sketchy anyway. I'll add new photos in later.

Today I called Jackie to visit with her and let her know that with no computer I couldn't help with the WAOW work. I always enjoy talking to Jackie. She is such a special friend. I'm very grateful to have her presence in my life. We have a lot in common. She is having a new studio built, which is quite an event for an artist. Her husband is having health problems and remember Jackie had broken her ankle not that long ago. I also had enjoyable phone visits with Judi and Betty Pfaff.

In the afternoon I went out to feed the cats and since I had been thinking that they needed a warm place to sleep this winter, went in the back of the shed to see what would be best to do for them - either put back their tent on the baler or fix something in the wagon. Lo and behold, Joe had made them a little custom fit "bedroom" in the wagon box. He had it all lined with an insulation and it has a little door. The top comes off in case you would need to clean it out or anything. He had put the cat bed rugs into the box and covered the whole thing with a folded tarp for more warmth and shelter. I hadn't even mentioned anything to him about where the cats were going to sleep after he rearranged everything in the shed, and he did it all on his own. I was grateful and impressed and told him thank you.

Today I finished two new pastels and they are ready to go to the framer now. And the dogs and I went out to get today's mail on the ATV. It was a very nice fall day.
