In order to recover from the ordeal of my wrastling match (yep, that’s the way it is said in Tulare County – we are the same folks who say “warsh” for “wash”, and sometimes we say “crick” instead of “creek”) with the Kaweah Post Office oil painting, I enjoyed the yard a bit. By “enjoy”, I mean that I took a few photos and pulled a mountain of weeds.
Then it was time to get back at it, “it” being the easels. Been lollygagging around recently, so I am having to parent myself rather vigorously in order to finish my responsibilities. (“But I DON’T WANNA!”)
Here is a batch of Mineral King paintings in their ugly stages, but improving slightly.
Ahem. Something seems to have taken over the captions of my photos today. Sounds like a Tulare County native speaker.
Shut up. Those are my people.

1. You can never have too many Sawtooth paintings!
2. I had a college roommate that spoke like y’all. I laughed every time she said she was going to “I-ron” the clothes. (Well, that’s how it’s spelt!)
3. Eagle Lake trail? Oh, yeah, ‘specially the last half mile or so!
4. Your yard and its wildflowers are just peachy keen!
Sharon, I do believe that Sawtooth is beginning to overtake the Honeymoon Cabin in popularity and sales. I don’t say “I-ron”, but like it and may start. (I might could. . .) Yes the last 1/2 mile or so of Eagle Lake Trail is HORRIBLE. Thank you for the compliments on the wildflowers. It is a glorious time of year, and I just took new photos this a.m., so watch for them to appear next week.
