I was working in the gallery yesterday. Beautiful day though there was not much traffic. Today I went to the Barn and Ranch Sale, I found a hat to replace the one I had that got smashed.
Received and e-mail from the solar company, I should receive my part on Wednesday. Depending on the time they deliver it I may be able to install it. Otherwise it will have to wait until Friday, as I will be at the gallery on Thursday.
I was contacted by a friend to assist her in finding a painting for her new office. I will be going out to see what I may find for her.
Still going through my SD cards, here are some more photographs.

This past week I have spent numerous hours waiting for deliveries that were scheduled, cancelled and rescheduled. First was a delivery from Amazon that took three attempts before they finally got it to me. First they said there was a dog on the property, there isn’t. I do not know the reason they didn’t make the second one. The package was marked that they needed a signature for some reason, so that cancelled the third attempt. The fourth time they delivered it, did not ask for a signature, did not knock on the door, just left the package. Great job by Amazon, not.
At the same time I was scheduled to receive my new solar batteries on Thursday, cancelled and changed to Friday, cancelled and changed to Monday. Monday I am waiting for my delivery to come between, 12 and 4. At 4 I called and am told they will be there around 6. At 6, as I am calling, I look out the window and see the truck going to my neighbor’s house, I hang up and run down the driveway to direct him to my house. He unloads two pallet with 2000lbs of batteries. I then have to secure them in a locked shed, they are very heavy. I will have to go back and remove the old batteries and replace them with the new ones. I am not looking forward to shifting 4000lbs of batteries.
The picture today I have re-edited a picture from 2018. A pair of Curved-billed Thrashers are protecting their nest from a Bull Snake. They would take turns harassing it and would jump out of the way when it would attempt to strike them. They were finally able to chase it away.
