After The Rain - West 
After the Rain - EastFinally.....we had a wonderful rain yesterday that lasted all day long. At 5 p.m. it began a blizzard with snow or freezing rain and wind and that lasted about an hour. Then it began to clear up. It got below freezing last night (have to check that lilac bush), the moisture on the grass was frozen with the drops flashing rainbow colors in the sunrise and all the ponds on the field were frozen. This morning doesn't look like we will get any more, but the forecast is still for rain and snow. Bobbi's corral is a muddy mess.
Snow Yesterday Afternoon - Nube - 5 p.m.
Yesterday I was able to shop online for some more pastel colors - I got all the unison greens and all the lights. And a couple of brushes from Dick Blick. So guess I'm in the pastel painting business for serious. I'll go ahead gradually and get the other colors too. When I did the quick draw at WAA it took a whole $5 stick of white to cover the painting. That was an eye opener.
Oh, I found that file of lost photos. They automatically went into a file I never made called digital photos - sometimes things do make sense. So added a few more down below to go with the messages I took them for. It's a little heavy on pictures, but that's o.k. If you check down through as far as Wednesday the 16th you will see them.
And thank goodness I finally figured out a way not to struggle with the spacing in the blog by searching for the answer. Probably everyone else already knows this, but it is <> with a p in between them ("it" won't let it stay in there to show you) begin paragraph; and < / p > end paragraph (letters with no spaces) and ta-daa everything comes out perfectly. A lot of extra time has been wasted trying over and over to get the photos, paragraphs and spacing to be uniform. Drove me nuts! I have to conform to "it". Though it may not be obeying me and coming out just as I'd like it, at least it will be neater.
