I’m not talking about Florida or down here, I’m talking about up on the land. We haven’t had it for a couple of weeks now, and there’s no telling when we’ll have it again. The idea was to change our battery system so it required a lot less maintenance, and the change was supposed to start happening about August 26th. Hopefully they will work on it again this week. More about that later when we know what’s happening.
In the meantime I had been waiting for the internet to come back before going up to the land, but the fall colors weren’t waiting for that. So I went up Friday.
It’s been a patchy fall, but there were some bright colors.
A set of colored pencils came before we left here to go up, so I brought them along. I used one of Annie’s pictures for inspiration,
and I drew this:
It was a short but good trip. We left early because we had appointments to get our flu shots down here that afternoon.

It thrills me to see others using my drawings to create their own. I love yours.
I’m so glad you are sharing your drawings with us. 🙂
Cute art! Hope for the best in Florida right now.
Yes! It sounds as if they are getting closer in Florida. Sandra (MadSnapper) posted today:
Oh, my, I love those views. Great job of the drawing.
🙂
…the joy of remote living.
The joy of living down here and having a place to go.
I can see why you felt the desire to go there, internet or not. Beautiful.
🙂
Beautiful fall scenery up there.
Love the little bear drawing. 🙂

Your view looks like the interior of BC and I can see remants of a fire. Looks like a beautiful place to just be.
Those remnants are probably from the 2011 fire. It burned all the trees except one on our land — that’s why we have such great views. But we did love those trees.
Hopefully that will be fixed soon.
I love your drawings. Ann is inspiring a lot of people to draw.
They worked on it today, so it’s encouraging. Yes, hurray for Anne!
Yes, it appears it has been patchy. I like your bear.
🙂
I’m glad you went early, because it looks like it is at the peak of it’s color! Very pretty. I have been saving some of Anne’s drawings as well, the ones that look easy to copy. So we will both have fun trying this. Dumb question, but what do those batteries power on the land? Lights?
They power the lights, fans, microwave, internet, and electric heaters when we need them. (We also have propane.) The greenhouse temperatures have been getting up to over 120 degrees because of no fans. The plants are not happy.
Fortunately the refrigerator runs on propane.
It still looks beautiful to me! Your little bear is adorable.
🙂
We have had so little rain that they say our fall colors will be very muted and short-lived. The yellow tree is so pretty. Love your drawing – I am so NOT am artist.
I’m not an artist either. The term is too intimidating.
That is such a pretty scene and your drawing is so cute!
Thanks. 🙂
oh my
Hugs for everything not on the normal radar
🙂
so sorry about the internet snaffu.. hope it is fixed soon. love the little bear, I missed that one on Ann’s blog… more on my mind than blogging. I did post but I will not be back to normal for a while much to deal with
