Antelope on Glacial Moraine

Its a really nice day out, but the wind keeps blowing. I couldn't believe when I checked the weather page that at least until Wednesday every day should be about 70 degrees and either partly sunny or partly cloudy - I never could figure out what the difference was between those two descriptions. I have the studio window open, the first day for that. The horses really seem to be enjoying the days, and are shedding their winter coats.

Today has been a laundry house cleaning ironing day. Also baking day. I throw my too-ripe bananas in the freezer and had enough accumulated to make 5 loaves of banana nut bread, so did that this afternoon. I can freeze the loaves to take out as needed. Its a big help to have something ready at a minute's notice. Dinner will be grilled salmon and baked potatoes.

All of a sudden I realized that there's now only about three more days until my company gets here. How did that happen so fast? This morning I finished the 3rd draft of one of my big WAOW jobs and hope that's about the end of that one. It's been sent off for another round of comments and we'll see how that goes. Joe's still mechanicking (spellcheck says it's mechanic king, and that's also correct) on his tractors. At the moment he's checking gates or fixing fences and got the truck down in the far end of the field.

Kay called and has set up an appointment in about a month for some of us artists to show one of the local bank presidents a display of our paintings, hoping that the bank might buy them for displaying. They want essentially local artists' Western and Wildlife artwork. More opportunity knocking.

This is the day that Beverly, Brent and Clayton are taking off for Florida and Disney World for 10 days. They leave at 11 p.m. tonight. James and Kathy should be pretty far down the road toward Atlanta to visit their family for a month. I wish them all safe and very fun trips. It is also the day that Debby, Curtis and Tayler are going on the ATV camping trip I was going to join them on before I got sick. I hope you guys have a great weekend too. I feel sorry to be missing that. NOW the Dr. says I am fine to drive.
