Country life woes

I hurried out to Sand Flat Farm this afternoon after work. My hubby found out that the power had been off in our whole area for quite awhile and I was afraid that the food in the freezer and the fridge maybe had ruined or thawed out. Been there and done that, and it ain't pleasant to clean up, let me tell you. Luckily, the power company must have gotten the electricity restored in time to save my groceries. Everything seemed fine. Maybe a little soft around the edges but OK. Whew! Guess that sort of thing just goes along with country living, huh? I still wouldn't trade it for anything!

I'll have some more photos for you tomorrow. I took some more when I was there this afternoon. I had to stand in the pasture and just stare - you know that "golden glow" that you get in the afternoon just before sundown? At least that's what us artists call it. Everthing is glowing with autumnal colors as well as the warmth from the sun, and it's breathtaking to me. I see it mostly in the fall and winter months. Hard to capture on canvas too, but I'll keep trying.

I'd like to post some of my paintings on my blog at some point. I have some of them on my computer, but the size is too big, will have to take some smaller pics. I'd like to see what you all think about my work. Have a good evening and I'll be back tomorrow. Oh, Margo is bringing me one of her cute "chandies" tomorrow! Can't wait to add it to my garden shed!

Title lost

Well, the picture is up there, but can't get the SAND FLAT FARM title on there, but this may have to do... Oh well. It's the best I can do for right now. Thanks for being patient with me. I did add a little blurb about our place over on the side above my picture, so maybe that'll help.
