Time seems to fly by no matter where we are!
I thought these days would go slowly but here we are at the one week point in our time down here on the ranch. It has rained every single day we have been here and today it rained pretty much all day long!
I love our camper mornings! It smells like a cozy coffee shop in here and it was especially nice this morning with the rain coming down. We sat outside for about a half hour with our coffee before the rain started and it was chilly enough for a sweater!
Louis Dean spent a couple of hours playing his guitar and singing.
I set my art table up again and painted for a few hours.
My step son took a picture of a beautiful sunset last year and I have been meaning to paint it ever since. Finally, I started a small canvas and based it in. I used the photo as my wallpaper so I could see it as I painted.
I also started a fun painting of wine bottles with a glass and cheese.
It took about 5 minutes to sketch it in using Paynes Gray thinned with turp.
Then I based painted the entire canvas in about 45 minutes.
I think I'm really going to like it!
So I worked on three art projects while I've been here. Perhaps next month when we're here I can paint outside!
It was late afternoon when the rain finally stopped.
Louis Dean and I had both napped and read and were ready to get outside and stretch our legs.
Mushrooms spring up overnight!
We walked down to the lower meadow and I just loved hearing all the birds and frogs.
I never tire of hearing these sounds......
This is the creek that runs along the back of the ranch.
With all the rain, Texas has recovered from the terrible drought!!
Nearly all of our lakes are full and some are overflowing.
There's a beauty even in the muddy water.
We had hot showers in the bathhouse which is down past the chicken coops.
Except for the squishy ground you would never think it had rained all day!
I almost missed this sunset! I came in to clean up the art table and glanced up just in time!
Grabbed my camera and went back outside!!
Camper/Ranch life has been simple today.
I think we are just about rested up now and Louis Dean is talking about home.
Soon. Soon enough.
And thus ends our day........
So did I!!!
