I love this time of year, don't you?


It's morning and so me, Keno, and the chief of ranch security, Sparky are out for a survey of the kingdom, or queendom as it were. It's glorious out weather wise, but a little dry and dusty. On a side note, Keno, the horse, and Sparky, the dog, have a funny relationship. They both want to be in charge of each other... Sparky is forever running behind Keno and giving him a little nip on the heels. Keno feels he's way too good to be herded by a dang dog so refuses to budge! Later when Sparky is nosing around at god only knows what kind of putrefaction, Keno sneaks up on her and gives her a little nudge with his nose which she finds quite aggravating indeed. anyhoo, back to the dry and dusty , but glorious day...

in the midst of the dry and dusty is a splash of red, lets see what that is, shall we?

Oh man, it's the end of may isn't it!! Hello gorgeous!!

Later that same day, it's time to check out the art... It just so happens that we all want to go. Here is Bee goofing off with outdoor sculpture..

Bonnie and Bee trying to make off with the outdoor sculpture...

Margaret and I have decided to make a point of talking to the featured artist at these things this year. Margaret was quite disconcerted by a series of paintings and sculpture the artist, Greg Lomayesva did of shoes for this show. She thinks it's a trivial and "frivolous" subject for an artist with his obvious talent. Now I frankly disagreed with her and was shocked by this opinion, being a serious fan of shoes and all they represent!! Here she is preparing her question, and how to word it so that she doesn't instantly piss him off...

She got the question out brilliantly, something to the effect of what was the symbolism in the subject of shoes for him? anyway, he had a little line about "the missing", but then revealed that he had a significant other who was obsessed with a particular shoe designer. Greg didn't get it, so decided to paint and sculpt shoes designed by this guy and felt after he did this he understood this designer and his art form. It kind of sounded like he broke up with the significant other however....
All this in one day, what could be better???

Now, by chance was that the artist with the glasses behind Margaret?
