I like your art that you found, I also like your post about all of the farms and ranches around you. I love to learn about stuff like that. I have remodeled two kitchens. I now know enough to not talk about it. :)
ReplyDeleteHave fun. Do you know who Bess Streeter Aldrich is? A Lantern in her hand and White bird flying?
That is what I thought of when I looked at your top picture of Farmer on Tractor.
I do hope you have read those books, the ultimate in homesteading Nebraska.
Oh, I like Grand-mothering better than the word babysitting too.
Farm Girl,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed the art and the ranches I pictured. Yes! I do know and love Beth Streeter Aldrich. She is one of my most favorite authors. Have you read her book, The Cutters? If not, you must!

I like reading your conversation with Kim. You two are favorites of mine. I love the art, too. I grew up with scenery filled with farm fields and country roads and I love thinking about my precious homeland. I worked at a helicopter crop dusting company and had nice chats with the farmers. Sending LOVE to you this Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these prints. I really like the first one.
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI have been on the hunt for some scenic something to hang on our walls in this home...if you ever know of some paintings of great prairie scenery or other suggestions-I would gladly take it! I have been hunting high and low...love all things old fashioned/country and think some prairie prints would remind us of how lucky we are to be stewards of the land.
G'day Gumbo Lily. They are just great prints. When I looked at them, I thought they belonged to times well past. Take care. liz...
