We live in the country, about 4 miles from one tiny town and about 12 miles from a slightly larger town. Our small lake community of about 30 houses sharing a common water well is just off of a busy farm road with lots of curves and no shoulders to walk on __not safe for walking__ so when we walk, it’s generally around the circle of homes.
The location of these two homes were at one time a busy path for local deer. We often saw them run through here if we walked early enough in the morning. But since moving here, more new residents moved in with loud barking dogs — the deer have decided to move on.
Yet, at the nd of December, we still have wildflowers! In fact, as we drove to Houston this past week, we saw huge masses of them along the roadside.
Vicky,
ReplyDeleteI like the pop of color on one page contrasting with the monochromatic color of the other. I hope you have a happy and blessed New Year!
That just sort of happened — I was comparing the water-soluble ink washed out with water to the same ink with watercolor. But yeah, I like how it turned out also!
DeleteOh, and a happy, blessed new year to you!
DeleteYour neighbourhood is so different from big city living in Melbourne. It feels like I am walking around it with you. Best wishes for 2018 to you.
ReplyDeleteIn the 45+ years we’ve been married, we’ve lived in large cities, beginning with San Diego, CA, and in small towns; apartments, our own houses, and an antique apartment building we renovated. But this is the first time we’ve lived in the country —- and we love it! Instead of street noise and over-load car stereos, we hear birds, cattle, and donkeys in the daytime and coyotes at night. Visitors to our property include dear and armadillos.

Have a blessed and prosperous new year, Alissa!

DeleteOh, that is beautiful...! I am so glad that I have met you, Vicky! Wishing you lots of blessings in 2018!
ReplyDeleteThis particular yellow flower looked a bit deformed, yet it was beautiful all the same.
DeleteHave a blessed new year, dear Jana!
