So many of us forget to take time to enjoy, and even notice the little things around us.  I’ve been laid up, for 10 days with some pretty nasty neck problems.  Today is my first day “up”, other than visits to ERs, doctors, and the such, which do not count.  I walked around the house, and actually walked to the barn too.  Ahh, the smell of horses in the breeze.  I know some of you won’t get that, but I know the rest of you will understand.

I’ve been working on a friend’s website/blog:  www.scottsfordfarm.wordpress.com, so that has kept me busy today.  I look out the window, see the blue sky, walk in the crunchy leaves.  Life is good.  Talked to Kelley yesterday in Hawaii!!  Always good to talk to  your “children”, which I wish I could come up with something that sounded better than children, or young adults, or whatever.  Emailed to Erin, emailed to Beverley, talked to a couple of people on the phone.   Ahhh.  Back to life.

I can’t paint yet though.  Not good.  I have two commissions to do!!!  Before my neck got back I started on the sketch for one of the commissions.  I’ll share it with you, as long as you don’t send me any LOL things.  You can laugh in the privacy of your own home however. It will be a pastel painting of an event rider.  I’ll also share a small 5×5″ foxhound oil painting I did earlier.  I think it is in  frame on another post, but you can see it better here. Anyway, off to take a nap.
