Where I’m At
Okay it’s another blessed Sunday so yes, I am working hard at my giraffe painting. But no, I won’t post it again until it’s done.
You know whenever I begin the background I go through that moment of hating the painting and so I don’t plan to expose it again until I am back to being contented with it. Hopefully that will be in the next few days.
Did you notice the grass is growing?
As Spring is here I’ve been busy (busy=distracted from my art) doing yard stuff and getting the horse (ever so slowly) onto pasture.
Chicory usually greets me with a hearty nicker and and meets me at the fence every morning. But a couple of days back he was staring wistfully out into the pasture while being completely silent. I said “Hey Handsome” and fully expected him to come over for our morning meet and greet. But he continued to keep his head facing outward. Sneaky like though he rolls one eye and ear in my direction (You know to make sure I’m paying attention) then resumes his wistfully gazing while continuing to ignore me. As I start walking into the barn he turns and follows me with a heavy sigh that says “So did you notice the grass is growing?”
So yesterday his wish came true for a couple of hours anyway. I’m hoping to have him fully converted to pasture by next Friday as I’m leaving for Minneapolis for a framing convention/Horse expo extravaganza then. (Whoohoo!)
I love the mental pictures you conjure up when you’re talking about Chickory
Have a great time on your trip!
Awwww… that sounds so cool. Like my cat asking for me to fill his bowl. Horses are pretty smart! That’s great you actually let him go out in the pasture for the new spring grass.
Happy Spring! Have a great time!!!!!
Slowly but surely my fat boy is getting a little more pasture into his daily diet. It’s been so absolutely gorgeous here I’ve been spending quite a bit of time with him. Gotta love Spring.
