Zippered Memories Sketch

An item on Hunt 184 was zipper or other closure.  I was at PT waiting for Gene so decided to sketch my art bag.  It has both a zipper and velcro on a side pocket.  So many memories.  It is from the Cumbres-Toltec Railroad between Chama, New Mexico, and Antonio, Colorado.  We rode it several times in the Parlor Car with bonus gifts like the bag.


Number 4, zipper or other closure - art bag in my new Ohuhu Mix Media sketchbook 8.5 x 5.5 inches.  In ink and watercolor.

We saw our first bluebonnets on Saturday.  We went to Brandon's birthday lunch and when we got back he found this bluebonnet growing in the crack in the sidewalk.  How had I not seen it?  I was even planning to spray something to kill the grass and weeds growing in the crack.  Hmmm.


After that we saw a little bunch by the mailbox and one by the driveway gate to the enclosed yard.



We are having a small amount of rain so maybe we will get a few more wildflowers.  They are very scarce this year.
