Clementine's Art

I have no idea where the Orange found it, but--by the time she brought it to me--she had decorated it with tiny brown and purple crayon circles she calls "flowers."  There was a second or two during which I was disappointed that she had drawn on my love note from Jim, but then I read the words again:


I laughed and thought: well, she--with her unruly hair, jumpin' legs, crayon-coloring hands, and chatteringkissinglaughing mouth--is proof of his words.  She is proof, and the contribution of her brown and purple flowers is just perfect!  So I added my own purple flower in the top right corner, but it isn't nearly as beautiful as hers:

    I love this! Now it's a love note x 2. It's beautiful, you should frame it.

    This is beautiful, Brandee. Love, art, flowers, proof and purple on paper. It's good enough to hang on a wall.

    For sure! The child's touch to a letter like this really adds infinite value!
