Today I decided to string along with my husband who went to a cattle sale. It turned out to be a beautiful day for a drive through the Texas hill country and the recent rains gave new life to the entire area. Although the grass looked pretty green, there was still little or no water in the streams along the back roads. This country may be starting to recover, but it isn’t there yet.

Since I wouldn’t want any “grass”, green or otherwise, to grow under my feet, I took my beads along for the ride and the 7 hours we spent in the car proved productive. Pictures of the finished necklaces follow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You don’t really want to know how many beads ended up on the floor of my car, but it wasn’t too bad. Actually, I’m thinking the car is a pretty good place to work. The natural light was excellent, the company was good, my cell phone was out of range and I couldn’t hear the fax machine. Hmm . . . this could become a new place to hide out and work!
