Gift from a Friend

 I had a little gift waiting for me at bell choir yesterday. Penny has been taking art lessons with pastels, and she drew a little picture for me (as a thanks for making the bell choir videos).

She asked me if it looked familiar. It did!

She drew this scene from my rock garden last week.

I did errands all morning, and worked on projects and garden all afternoon. I think tomorrow there will be the next round of things blooming to share!

Final (perhaps) health update on the shingles fading into neuralgia episode: I have not taken any ibuprofen for the past 4 days. OK, I am a little sore from climbing around to weed the rock garden, but not enough to medicate it, and there is only a little twitching/pain in my face. I'm calling it healed.

See Lots of Color

Lulu: "That is such a cute little drawing your friend did for you! And we're glad that awful episode with the shingles finally seems to be fully behind you!"
