A couple of weeks ago I was sitting by the side of the pool, sketching this scene looking to the east. (That red barn in the distance to the right will someday be our new home.) Though the water was too cold to swim, the sun shone brightly and there wasn’t any wind — it was a lovely afternoon here in Hockley, Texas! But we needed to go somewhere so I put my journal away, planning to return to finish the sketch the following day.
Okay, the next day didn’t happen, nor did the day after that. It finally turned cold and we have had more than the normal amount of errands to be run, with our log cabin going temporarily off-market while we interview new realtors. I moved forward in my journal but left this sketch unfinished. Yesterday I finished it inside, out of the bitter cold wind! The pool is still lovely to look at (at least it is after scooping the leaves out!) but it is just too cold to sit out there this week.
It is a wonderful scene - and is so full of promise!!! I do hope the cabin finds just the right people who will fall in love with it quickly! You have work to do!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathleen! I love the farm’s peaceful surroundings and miss swimming in that pool! (Unheated at present).
DeleteOne of the new realtors we spoke to is hopeful; meeting with second one on Sunday. We’ll re-list in January.
What a nice page, Vicky!
