Hope all are well and enjoying their summer.

This lovely drawing shows how much Cindy loved and appreciated the flowers Rosa would bring her from her garden.
Thanks to Rosa for brightening Cindy's room each week, and thanks to Cindy for capturing their beauty for us to enjoy and remember.

It made me think of this portrait.
