hello
It truly feels like we all skipped a year. I remember very little of it, except for the feeling of concern for everyone. I did very little as a whole, living mostly in pajamas. Took an occasional drive on empty roads and came right back home. I escaped into the world of Animal Crossing and enjoyed it thoroughly, playing a full year. That's the longest i've ever stuck with a game!
Then gradually it started getting better. I got out a little wearing a mask. Began eating out some. And although i was afraid at first, i got completely vaccinated. Now i feel free. And i wonder why i didn't do more during the past year. No flowers were planted, no walks , no daisy picking, no blogging, no painting.
But this spring i've come alive again, doing all the things i missed. Picked daisies, planted flowers and even found a little grass snake to hold. I've also begun to paint regularly and walk.
These four girls I painted this week. They are small , 5x7, but i'm really happy with how they turned out and will be making more of them.
