Mystery Botanicals #33

Grateful

Thanksgiving dinner day! The house smells wonderful and outside is cold.

The cat owners, a family with 4 boys, saw the found cat poster. We gave them their cat back. It was a happy reunion as the cat was held in the teenage boy's arms and licked him. I am grateful we had time with the kitty, that I have time and supplies to paint and that I have a family to spend the holidays with.

These are garlic seeds they taste good when they are fresh. They hang like pine cones and the minty green background makes a holiday feeling. I like the downward droop of lowered expectations and the thin stems that cross two characters together.
