Valentine’s Week Drawings
I was in our local grocery story on Tuesday when the teller wished me a Happy Valentines Day. I of course had absolutely no clue what day it was. Even last week I was surprised to find it was my birthday. Anyway, upon the discovery of what day it was, I was able to quickly put a drawing together for Carol as a Valentine while she did her morning pages. The series grew into drawings of a few connected and some disconnected thoughts of the things happening around me this week.
