Oh, alright. It isn't snowing every day. Still, today broke with snow about three inches deep and still falling. A lot of it melted to show the amazing pasture we are getting out of all this moisture but in the surrounding hills it is white. I can't wait for a little sun. Not only will the pasture be primo but, as I explained to my friend who was lamenting the fishing going bad with high water, it is the time of the morel mushrooms and it is but ours to take a walk and pick 'em. I love a good morel. Yesterday I was riding with a friend trying to get the cows and calves down off the mountain to the branding pasture. I was mounted on my new horse Deets and he took the rocky broken ground as if he was born on it ( which he may very well have been as he is from Alberta and those Canadian Rockies can get rugged.) It has been a good branding season and although the ranchers have been having to juggle their brandings to fit in with the sparse clear weather, who can complain when it seems the rest of the world is dry and drier.
I tried to upload some new photos of the latest work but couldn't get them to take. I will continue to try. Tomorrow I hope to start a scene from one of the brandings. There are nearly enough paintings on the floor for the show I hope to have in June. Folks have been dropping by and last week alone I sold three of the ones sitting on the floor without frames! A good thing and it has been a shot in the arm to keep working and do it faster. What fun.
Well, thanks for dropping by. I appreciate it.
