flowers

yesterday I did not recieve any, but this is not a complaint!
The last two weeks I have received a tropical bouquet from
a friend and a bouquet of white tulips(my favorite)from another. When
I got home last night I cleaned my house, and then in a saucepan
i put cloves. orange peels, cinnamon , water. I brought it to a boil and
let it evaporate in the air ,the house smelled wonderful.

I looked at the tropical bouquet that was sitting on my coffee table,all flowers needed to be tossed
except for two beautiful specimens of ginger, the hottest pink i have
ever seen and two mahogany banana leaves. Then I looked at the
bouquet of white tulips 6 very delicate tulips remained. I combined
the flowers, the new bouquet looked beautiful-it truly it did.

I took photographs
of course, but somehow felt like i need to sketch what I saw so I did.

I had the loveliest night, a bouquet of flowers, a sketch, a house that smelled
like heaven and sophie to make me smile.
