We have had a lot going on at home during this past week. I had a knee replacement, so spent a couple of nights away from home. When I did come home, we moved ourselves downstairs; friends are visiting daily, lots of flowers are in the house, I'm using a walker, and we're here all day. We are out of routine and the cats know it. I was arranging myself on the couch with the right collection of pillows, looked up and saw Fred, the Wonder Cat, hiding under some roses and watching all the goings on. He'll figure it out.
This is my two hundred twenty-third daily drawing. Thank you for looking at the world as I see it.
Today is Mothers' Day, my third day home since leaving the hospital after a total knee replacement. My job; rest, exercise, eat well, ice, rest, repeat... Here is a drawing of my day; leg up in an ice wrap, getting up every hour with my walker. I cut up some fresh strawberries, put some roses in a vase, got a Mothers' Day phone call from Germany where our daughter is staying for a few days, called Nana to with her a good day, made a few friend phone calls, napped, and had a wonderful dinner made by a friend. It was a good day.
On our recent wedding anniversary, our daughter presented me with a big bouquet of lovely roses. They are opening beautifully, with just the right amount of regal asymmetrical balance and elegance. What a nice surprise, and a nice direction for our young adult to take!
Here's a sketch of them in the kitchen window. The roses are in a crystal lemonade pitcher that was one of my parents' wedding gifts... full circle.
Thanks for looking, as always.
I love your comments.
