Snow on the HorizonI had started out early and got all the things done that I had planned including the mammogram which I wasn't at all sure I would get in (see yesterday's blog). And I got four - count 'em - four, which was one too many, paintings that Judy picked up and hauled home for me from Cody. I'm so grateful to her for doing this for me. But they gave her one of somebody else's and now I guess its up to me to get it back to them. How come things always get complicated?
Met up with Nancy (chauffeur), Melita, and Josie at the Rendezvous Point after we all got our blood test results. Today Mixed Media met at Pam's beautiful home on the Upper Green. The drive up north of Cora past the Place was beautiful and enjoyable visiting with the gals. Pam lives up a hill with an expansive view of the Green River Valley and the Sawtooths. It was pretty overcast so the pictures are sort of dark. When I downloaded the photos I was surprised I didn't get the Sawtooths in except for one small end of them, I guess I was just so drawn to the bright foliage. Fall colors were about as good as they are going to get.
What a wonderful day together in a special part of the world. There were six of us attending today. We first enjoyed seeing Pam's greenhouse with totally amazing Jack in the beanstalk tomato plants, and her home and artwork and then got right to painting. I worked on a colored pencil I'd started earlier, and am not real impressed with how it's turning out. Instead of the Tetons and Jenny Lake, it looks more like some tropical island in the South Pacific.
Pam had a wonderful soup for lunch (creamed carrot and butternut squash with a hint of orange juice) with delicious crusty homemade bread, a home grown cherry tomato and basil salad with balsamic dressing, and Nancy brought a yummy angel food cake with strawberries and whipped cream. There was every kind of weather, constantly changing, even a little snow. We stayed until about 4:00 or so and started home. We could see the Wind River's had a new coating of snow as we came down from the mountains. I was able to drop Joe's wool shirts off at the dry cleaners and got home about 5:30. It rained more or less all the way home, and had good puddles here at home. I really enjoyed the whole day and came home a lot more relaxed. Joe had dinner ready, leftover potroast, with the table set and everything!
