Snowmachine Trail to Ranch

Cats

Joe at Ranch Gate

Joe started out to the ranch this morning and then came back in a few minutes and said it looked too much like a storm. He waited about an hour or so and then took the dogs and left again to give it another try. It is very cloudy, but bright around the edges to the southeast. It was 33 degrees a while ago, so not very cold right now. The wind might blow.

Saturday I told Melita and Charm I wouldn't be to the Tuesday painting group - since I was going to Arizona - which was to have been at Melita's either today or Wednesday, so have been debating to check to see if they were having it. Called Melita and nearly everyone couldn't come this week so she said they will have it next week. She's baking 12 dozen cookies today for her catering "job". There is plenty to be done here anyway so will just stick to chores and drudgery.

I updated my phone number list. Called Beverly. Tried to call Peggy to tell her I'm not coming to Atlanta. She wasn't home though so will try again later. Just feel like I'm not up to that big of a trip right now and will try something simpler when the weather gets nice. The middle of April is our Wyoming Artists Association convention which I would have missed by going to Atlanta. It's in Cody this year and I'll plan for that and hope it works out for me. Bonnie said she has never been to Cody so she might like to go along. Now I'm working on getting the birthday cards finished, then will mail them and go get my protime test at the clinic. Can't believe it's already noon.

I had emailed a powerpoint presentation on the Brunos Gardens to my "email list" , about this sculpture garden in the rain forest in Australia which burned up in their wildfires this year, as well as many of their neighbors and animals burned too. Then my cousin Maryann found this website and it is so much better than the powerpoint. It describes their gardens and what happened in the fires. And shows a great slide show of the artwork - many more and better pictures than on the powerpoint. Beautiful website. http://www.brunosart.com/
