Snowin' in East Tennessee!

Well, we woke up to the weather man saying "snow flurries possible" today and then we ended up with about 2 inches! The pictures posted show it after it's melted some, but it sure covered everything for a little while! It's suppose to go down into the 20's tonight, so it may get a little trying on the roads here in the mountains. Of course, we've made a mad dash to the store for milk and bread! I can't ever remember the day that we ate just milk and bread during bad weather, but we're ready if it comes to that!!

I can't believe it's already Groundhog Day...being from the south, of course, I'm putting my faith in General Beauregard Lee. He resides at the Yellow River Game Ranch, in Lilburn, GA and he says spring is JUST AROUND THE CORNER!! Punxsutawney Phil predicts 6 more weeks of the cold stuff...more milk and bread, of course!

The pictures I've taken is one of our side pasture and one of Blossom, our pygmy nanny goat. I was going to get one of our Boxers, but they were burrowed up in their dog house...snug as 3 bugs! Our last puppy left on Friday, headed to her new forever home in Dublin, Ga. A great family drove 6 hours up to get her and they immediately seemed to bond. It's great to see my pups go to such excellent homes! I'm also posting my latest guinea item...a small photo album that shows a hen and her babies. Folks are really fond of my guinea pieces and I'm very pleased to offer things with this farm animal, whose qualities are sometimes overlooked. I love painting different animals...if anyone has suggestions, let me know! Everyone take care, stock up on you-know-what, and thanks for stopping by AWESOME ASS ACRES, to visit a spell!!

Crows, Guineas and my space (not the website!!)

My "involved" work space now!

My view from my NEW work space!

My NEW work area! YEA!!!

Well, I've decided to post some pictures of my new studio space, even though it's not completely finished,yet! I'm so excited about this addition...if you folks could see where I paint-- oh, what the heck, I'll post pictures of that, too!! Since we moved into this house, I've painted in front of my computer...only place that I could leave my paints set up! So, we're talking about an area about half the size of a TV tray!! So far, only once have I spilled my cup of water on my keyboard...(no damage that I know of!) The pictures show the window where I'll set up my paint area...it looks out over a section of our pasture- one, where we graze our Haflingers, the other section is for our 1 pygmy nanny goat, Blossom. They all must be in the holler in this shot! The other room that I've posted is another bedroom, it's always a cruel joke to think that you actually downsize when you "retire"!! HA!!

I'm also very pleased with some "fowl" things that I've listed on Ebay...a couple of guinea signs and a bowl that has shows a crow perched in a tree, on the inside. Be sure to check them out! Thanks for stopping by AWESOME ASS ACRES...come back anytime!!
