Nature Takes Its Course Sketch

An item on the new Hunt was nature.  I decided to sketch the flowers over the fence.  I said in my last post that they were Indian Blankets, well, they are Mexican Hats.  They look a little like sombreros.  These are mostly yellow with the red center and brownish pestle I guess you call it.  Others are red with yellow centers.  So pretty and fun to see.

For Scavenger Hunt 193  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-193-june-25-july-7.9123/  Check out the link to see what the other Scavengers (sketch artists) find for their items.' 

Gene is holding his own.  Went to have a general look over after the hospital release.  Dr. Chavez, our family doctor, has been in the hospital as well so we saw Dr. De Leon. She was very nice and checked all Gene's boxes, uh, meds and how he is recovering.  Our first caregiver with Gene is very patient with him and very conscientious. A new experience for us. We are so pleased as it is not easy to have someone else in the house full time.  We can't thank him enough.

We had maids in South America but they were not live in maids.  Our long time maid, Felipa, was so special and like family but she worked 8 - 5 unless we needed her to take care of the kiddos.  

Hoping to get back to a regular routine.  It is taking some time!  i still haven't cleaned off my art table.  Sigh.
