Two Does with a Kid We are so fortunate to be here in such a special place. I look so often out my kitchen window to see herds of antelope. I love to see the little ones race in circles around and around the mothers. It must be dizzying to try to keep track of their babies as they run full tilt and leap and play with each other. Sometimes one will take off running at a breakneck pace through the whole herd and beyond while all the others just have their heads down grazing totally ignoring the speeding kid.
Another night of not much sleep. By three I was up for good, watching Farah Fawcett in The Burning Bed, then Sunrise Earth. I folded all the laundry and got it put away, started another load and got Joe pancakes for breakfast. I'll have a strawberry banana smoothie in a while.
Its another lovely morning but black in the West. Salt Lake weather report says monsoon moisture is coming up from the southwest now. Got breezy and dark in the afternoon, but back to wonderful by evening. I can see my flowers blooming in bright colors out on the wagon. I'll get a photo of them today to show you now, that they are going pretty well despite all their hardship. I need to call the Barn Door about those paintings for the new bank, since I haven't ever heard from them and don't know if I need to have three big pieces ready by the end of August or not. If they tried to call, it was probably when the phone was out. I just hope I can do the fast slap dash thing and have them turn out to be masterpieces…..any chance?
I was ambivalent about going to the painting group and decided I would stay home and work here. Being gone all day Thursday will be enough. Anymore it hardly seems worth all the time and effort to go much of anyplace, and then trying to catch up the next day.
This afternoon I started a large painting with aspens in summer. By night I have it pretty far along. I've taken pictures in stages. They always get real ugly before they get better. But it looks like it might turn out pretty good.
