What a cool painting. Made me look up the artist and I'm not sorry I did. Thank you. :)

Hope you're well.

It is cool, isn't it? I was not unhappy to discover her, either. That's one of the things I love about doing the quote, all these lovely things I happen upon when looking up attributions and looking for illustrations.

And I'm doing fine. Haven't left the house since March 16 and I'm thinking I really should go out for a drive or something. I'm going to try to make it a weekly habit, as I had to have the road service come yesterday and charge my dead battery because I'd forgotten to go out and start the car for several weeks. Oh, brother.

How are you? Hoping everyone is fine.

Yeah, we went for a drive last month to charge the battery in my car, but we should do it again soon. Still self-isolating, although everything is slowly opening up again.

I'm good, have been feeling quite happy these past few days, probably because of the beauty of spring, and Lia only waking me up approx. once a night now.... ha.

The jump start guy said at least once a week, so...It will be a good way to pry my butt out of the house for a drive. It's the least I can do for my mental health, I guess. Self-isolating hasn't been that much different than my life before the pandemic with the exception that I could at least get together with my friends every few weeks or so. I miss that, but we talk a lot via phone or text.

I've had more energy the last few days, as well. As you say, must be spring. :-) Continue well, my friend.

Yes, I've heard the "once a week" as well. And...aehmm... have to admit that I sometimes have to charge my battery.

And yes, it's probably good to get out and get a change of scenery here and then. :)
