Flowers for you

(I love the story of this painting.
The flowers were delivered in the winter
to our neighbours who weren't home.
I was asked if I would keep them
until the neighbours came home from work
by the delivery person. So I did, and
painted this painting during the wait.)

We have been on our holiday for the past 16 days, and traveled over 5,300 

kilometers in that time. 3200 miles. Wow! I was too busy traveling 
while it happened to talk about it.  So I just talked about things that
occurred to me. In code in a way I was talking about where we were.

Coming back to Toronto, and Ontario is a shock to us.  Despite all of the 
driving, we were living at a much slower pace, and because we didn't have
internet most of the time, we were cut off completely from the news.

Given how horrific and crazy the news is, that was an absolute gift.

Yes we went to our school house, and visited our friends in Pugwash,
Wallace, Bear River and Annapolis Royal.  Plus we went to Fredericton
New Brunswick, Quebec City, and Ottawa. It was wonderful.

Now back to work.  I have a million ideas, and many beautiful reference
ideas and wow I'm excited.

Thank you for sticking with me throughout my vacation.  And to everyone
we met along the way -- thank you for being amazing.

Have a loving your life day!
