My submission for this week's
Sepia Saturday is a rather lovely scene of "gardening" on a larger scale than the Sepia photo. Sadly the photo is not in good shape, but it still reminds me of a sketch that might have been done for an old painting. I have no idea where it might have been taken, but imagine the architecture of the houses would be a good clue. If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them.

Buckaroos and Buckarettes
The second part of my post is a repost from a couple days ago introducing the latest book in my Tattered and Lost series.
Do you have memories of riding the range though you never left your neighborhood? You might have been a buckaroo or buckarette.
Do you remember thinking you could vanquish the bad guys with a song in your heart and a six-gun on your hip? You might have been a buckaroo or buckarette.
Do you remember singing Happy Trails and knowing all the words? You might have been a buckaroo or buckarette.
