Painting the Surinam Cherries

I was really preoccupied the day I painted this branch of cherries. Day who knows in lockdown. Getting on my daughter’s nerves…luckily we were still able to go work in the school garden. Weeding, pruning, harvesting produce to send to the middle school students. Playing in the dirt and painting the plants was grounding. No pun intended! Feeling grateful.
