A lovely thing about Christmas

"A lovely thing about Christmas
is that it's compulsory, like a
thunderstorm, and we all go through
it together."

Garrison Keillor

Cherries and Cantaloupe

Other than pasta and chocolate ... I believe I could happily live on nothing but fruit! Cherries, cantaloupe, pineapple, kiwi, peaches, blueberries, bananas, grapes, oranges, mangoes, papayas, figs, apples, tangerines and watermelon ... no wonder fruit keeps popping up in my sketchbook!

Oops ... spell check just "got me" ... seems I misspelled cantaloupe on my sketch! Ssssssssssh!

If you live in your heart ... magic happens!
