NESTLED IN

There's a place called Texas Canyon which I wrote about here.  Just as you enter the canyon from the West, a brief glimpse can be had of an old ranch house and some barns.  I've always thought I'd love to live there...except that I think all those rock outcroppings are just too attractive to snakes!  They look like one gigantic snake condo to me.

But, if I could banish the snakes....ah....I'd be there in a heart beat.

As I was re-doing a painting of an old barn, I kept imagining it being safely nestled in amongst the rocks and the hills...sans creepy crawly critters!

And as I painted, I felt as though I were nestled inside many precious memories I have of Texas Canyon.

I doubt I'll ever do too much more climbing around in those boulders, but I can always go there in my mind.

I am so grateful for so many good memories!

And I intend to make more.  I hope you do, too.
