Summer Stop



        
           Here is one of the many places that will be affected by roadwork soon to start just to the south of us. I am sure it will make our traffic much more bearable- at least I sure hope it does... But some of the old places will be gone when the project is over, so there may be some urgency if you want to get a pencil record of some of them.  Not sure how long it has been since this place had occupants. It may be that some ol' bachelor still lives here. Well I am sure that there are plenty of overnight “guests” of the four-legged variety prowling around after dark- pole cats not excluded! Who knows what a pole cat is? Harold O'Brien is the one who told me what they are.
       This drawing was done like many others in the middle of the summer heat. You can see that from the time of day and the temperature recorded at the bottom of the page. It was so hot then that I think some of it has spilled over into this fall- today here it got up to 69 degrees. Inspired me to stick some lettuce seed in the garden to see if we can get some fresh lettuce mid winter under the cold frame. This place has been begging me to do a sketch of it for a long time!
     
      Take time to look on my Thumbnails page and see another quickie...
