Most people who know me well enough, know that I love playing around with make-up and have fun getting "dolled" up when I go out.... BUT.... this is me sans makeup most of the time... just me.

Add ons!
We've added to the farm! A new Ram Shed, and addition onto the existing lean to/barn. Now they just need to be painted to match the rest of the outbuildings.
Fall Colours
Fall has arrived. The grasses are yellow, the leaves bright in the sunshine. The horses coats are getting fuzzy. We've had a couple of frosts at night, and I expect before too long, we'll have snow.

Hangin' out...
I recently had a chance to spend some time with a dear longtime friend of mine! It was a short but fun visit! Here we are, about to head off to a concert in Vancouver - great photo opp! Haha!
The desk...
O.K.... so I'm a sucker for a bargain find, always thinking I can fix it up and put it to good use. This type of "recycling" I strongly believe in! I picked up this desk with good "bones" for cheap.... chose a funky paint colour and now, it has claimed it's home in Peter's bedroom. He loves it, and spends many hours at his desk. Another successful refinishing project!
Pre sanding... I've already removed all the hardware, which was tarnished. I soaked them in an aluminum pan filled with hot water and baking soda.... then polished them up a bit... and voila, almost as good as new. I liked their retro design which suited the desk, so went with them instead of getting new ones.
Here you can see the handles that I re-used. Total cost = some sanding paper and 1 quart of paint. Not much. :~)
Inspired by a cow!#*%@!
Certainly this one will inspire a painting out of me sometime! Just look at the tuft of hair on her head! That alone makes me smile! Stay tuned....
