Inspiration has STRUCK!! Louis Dean and I were on our way to Abilene to visit with some of his family on Saturday. We stopped in Thurber, Texas (once a prosperous mining town....now a certified ghost town!) at the Smokestack Restaurant for breakfast...we were up and on the road EARLY! As we drove up in the gravel parking lot I saw the coolest painted fence! An artist from Gorman, Texas had been commissioned to paint this 40' X 8' fence and filled it with a traditional Texas spring landscape complete with an armadillo, donkey, long horns, horses, church, streams, waterfalls, and of course, BLUEBONNETS! It was beautiful!!! Alas, I cannot credit the artist as she did not sign her work. Perhaps she was not finished although it certainly LOOKED finished! As you can tell by the pictures, she (or HE ) is extremely talented!
Well, I have been INSPIRED!!! As it JUST so happens, my husband is building a new fence for the back yard.....and I got to thinking........!!! And if not THAT.....I DO have the playhouse turned shoe house now lawn equipment house that could use a drop or two of INSPIRATION as well as IMAGINATION! One side faces the gazebo and he is putting in our FOURTH pond there in the old spa location. THIS would make a perfect backdrop! And then there is the front of the little house that faces my back bedroom door....hmmmmmmmm.....so many possibilities! I think I will get motivated to finish painting the HOUSE (exterior) that I have been working on for this, my third, spring! Then I can start a REALLY creative project! Can't wait til Amber gets home from Scotland to see all the changes we have made in this past year! I am going now to get my paint clothes and the paint stuff out and ready for in the morning....I have LOTS to do!!
