A few days after Sophie passed a friend in California sent me a lovely bouquet of flowers (thanks Shannon.) And of course they were hydrangeas. Of course. At that point I hadn't told anyone about my early morning flower hunt so there was no way for her to have known. And maybe we see connections and "signs" when it serves us but I can't help but feel it was more than just a coincidence.

I am feeling extra thankful for my friendships and connections unaffected by geography. That appreciation has inspired me to use 'gratitude' as my "theme" or focus for this month's paintings. My beautiful flowers from a beautiful friend seemed like the perfect choice for the third painting.
