working on a card to send my son's daughter,  Giana,   for the completion of her 11th year…embarking on the 12th.  They are in Colorado….far from here.

she draws.   you might remember seeing a post here with her drawing a while back.   

i'd gotten a book… Botanical Drawing   Penny Brown

for myself a while ago…and then,  i got one for her.   It's a lot for age 11 as it is really,    a lot for me,     age 78   but i will say words to her about how we can work through it TOGEther     Over Time   and       learn.   as we go.

i am her Goat Gramma.    we will need to draw some Goats.

    I remember when Giana (Alluvial Fan) was born: the love, delight and joy in this new being. The movie reel in my head takes me back to a favorite blog post of yours, Giana and her parents come to visit you in Polvadera. You hold her and take her around, showing her your land, the goats…how sweet to see this become full circle, you and she, drawing the gifts of the land, drawing the goats. Sharing experiences with our grandchildren, is the best gift that we can give them. Happy Birthday to Giana.
