Back in the Water

Dewie the Sea Turtle

Watercolors, that is.  I started a new class of watercolor painting at the Senior Center yesterday.  What a pleasure!  I bought a couple small tubes of paint and one new brush and I was set.  Greens on my palatte:  olive, sap, hookers, viridian, terre vert, green gold.

I'm working on a series of critters for my grandson.  A sea turtle was for his first birthday. Rebekah says Rylan points to it and calls it "Dewie."  For Christmas, a colorful elephant.

My new project is a baby and mother giraffe.

The teacher and women in the class say, "Great haircut!  You look so young and happy!"

I say, "I'm in love."

As one, they sigh.  So good, they say, to know romance can happen even when you are old.

 I raise my eyebrows slightly and smile.  After all, they're old too.
