Saskatchewan Sunsets Big Sky Country

I am learning how to do panaramic photos on my Camera. What a great subject. Today was a beautiful fall day.


This scene is about 5 minutes south of Saskatoon.














I just love the way the light makes the clouds so beautiful. Isn't God amazing. It is said that prairie boys made great sailors. They thought that it was because of the rolling Fields of wheat. I believe that it was the endless spans of sky. I really notice the difference when I visit the mountains or go north to the forest where I grew up.
The sunsets are my trade off for putting up with the wind when there is no forest to block it. Among other things...

Garage Sale finds

I found this lovely painting after a day of garage saling I only had two dollars so I cautiously offered it to the gentleman. HE took it. It made me so happy. I just love the little cottage in the woods. and when you turn it over you see this lovely mountain scene. I have searched high and low on the internet and cant find any thing about the artist. I am sure it is an oil painting and that it is on some form of cardboard. I believe that the mountain was painted first and then she needed a board so she ripped off the brown paper and used the back. I wish there was some way to seperate the two as I really like both sides.

The artist's Name is Edith W. Slack. It is signed on the cabin side. The other side is not signed that makes me think that it may not have been painted by her???? Then Who? and Who is Edith W Slack?

If anyone reading this has any clue how to find out answers to these questions please do tell. I may have to wait until the antique roadshow come to my area. oh what fun it would be.

something for later

Here is a cut and pasted quilt that I am making for one of my teen boys wedding present in the future. I hope I have time to finish it... I should they aren't even dating yet.... or so I am led to believe. I have done some embroidery on these blocks but must do more.
