How often don’t I go through the motions of the day – hit snooze on the alarm, shower, breakfast, feed the cats, work, home, dinner, feed the cats,  set the alarm and bed…

They reside not too far from each other on the color palette.

They smoothly blend, bond and beyond.

Zombie Craze! I was drawn into the lives of the survivors.
