Under the Willows - Ruth Andre

"Under the Willows"

Today was so beautiful that it made me think spring is really going to show up in a few weeks. I could hear the neighbors up on the hill puttering around and could see the neighbor to the east driving  her tractor in the cow pasture. Life just felt good today. The day also reminded me of the willowy tree branches hanging down making shady reflections on the creek.  It has been, 

"A Painting Day".

Spirits - Ruth Andre

I had planned to travel to Fort Bragg, California on Sunday and paint the beautiful sea and coastal cliffs. As happens plans change so I am home. Saturday my mare, Angel, became ill and after three veterinarian visits, working and watching Angel all night we finally had to let go and say good-bye to this good and beautiful friend. Angel came to our farm 18 years ago. She and I were the best of friends. I will be sharing with you a post just for Angel in a few days. Angel was loved and loving. Even at the very end of her life she nuzzled my hand as if she was saying Thank-You. I am heart broken and her two pasture buddies are as well. Through tears of sadness it has been, "A Painting Day".
