Wake Up Call

This oil painting on a wood panel is 16 x 20, plus a beautiful wood frame. I took the reference photo for it at a farm in the hill country of Texas.
 
Do you ever have that feeling that you have to pinch yourself to make sure you aren't dreaming?  A year ago, we were in total lockdown - washing our groceries. Afraid to bring the UPS deliveries into the house.  Ever scratchy throat made you worry.  This past year has seemed like a dream, or maybe a scary movie in so many ways.  A year ago, we were in total lock down - washing our groceries. Afraid to bring the UPS deliveries into the house.  Uncertain about how bad or good things would be in a year.   

This past week, I received my vaccine.  It was such a joyous feeling.  After more than a year at home, my Senior in High School is going back to school, at least for a few weeks.  Restaurants are reopening.  I am going to the gym again,  and this afternoon I am going wine tasting with friends.  

I understand we are still in the darkness, but it does feel like a new day is coming.  Wake Up and breathe it in.
