Yee-haw! Howdy?

I have vision for the composition - golden haybale, pitchfork, red or brown rustic barn in the back with horses off the distance.

But I don't have that resource so I've used the backyard.

I got the shoes, top ,pants and purse from Ross - I love Ross. So it got down to about 75 degrees F yesterday so I busted a flannel "dress", dark wash jeans (with spandex so it "gives") and cognac colored zip up booties. Coincidentally I was meeting friends to have dinner at Texas Roadhouse.









Had sweet potato mash with toasted marsmallows and a pulled pork sandwich . I have to be honest, I have had better pulled pork sandwiches from hole in the wall places but the sweet potato mash is awesome.






Then we saw this local band called Hired Guns in Winter's CA and they play blues and country. Did not plan it that way but it seems there was an apparent country western theme for the evening.

Ruffles

No, not the chips.







So they say ruffles add volume but I wore a ruffled skirt anyway. The weather got more bearable, I went to work feeling like a zombie, had very little sleep but thank goodness it's Thursday. The weather finally turned for the better. 100+ degree weather is just annoying. I stepped out of the building yesterday and was shocked to breathe in hot air. I know it's hard to believe coming from someone who grew up in a tropical Island but I honestly can't remember it being this unbearable.
