The Mimosa Tree

2012-02-28T15:25:00.001-06:00

This little house perches on the roadside near our turnpike entrance. When the sun hits the weathered siding and the mimosa blossoms are next to the gray and white colors, it is a magical sight.

Girlfriend reunions are a once-a-year highlight. Last time we visited Mona in beautiful Cheyenne, WY. We took a road trip to the Chugwater Chili Festival. These women were enjoying the rock and roll band and I enjoyed watching them dance! We all had fun in the sun.

This week our group of painters visited a beautiful lodge home for a day of plein air painting and enjoying the crisp fall temperatures. This photo was one of my favorite parts of the day...when the paint horse came to investigate what we were doing. The friendly mare got up close and personal!
