I am forever saying 'Oh, just look at this!' and she is always replying 'How on earth did you notice that?'<br />It's often something simple like the sun shining on some spongy moss or reflecting off of a shiney toad-stool, but that's the difference; she will chat away oblivious to everything and yet I am taking in my surroundings. It's only since I began painting that I have been like that :0)Sandra Busbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622208510609673242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320847148928421544.post-993092822983106352011-09-23T05:45:53.436-07:002011-09-23T05:45:53.436-07:00I have a soft spot in my heart for draft horses. ...I have a soft spot in my heart for draft horses.

They would fly up to the roof, then they would launch themselves out and make spirals down almost to the ground. They soared and swooped without flapping their wings. It reminded me of hand gliders. It sure looked like fun.Virginia Floydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00135585280436374598noreply@blogger.com
