Ouch

I realized after the landscapers left on Tuesday that I forgot to ask them to clear out the corner by the patio where the ferns and peonies are so I went out to do it this morning while it was sunny.  I got my tarp, gloves, and clippers and got to it.  What I hadn't planned to do was disturb a small nest of hornets.  They were right by that upside down pot.  I didn't notice them until one of them flew up, landed on the back of my head, and stung me.  Ouch!  It's a good thing I'm not allergic but it's kind of hurt all day long.  Once I got stung I moved around away from the hornets and got the job done.

Here's my new Zambaldi Beer hoodie.  I took a selfie with my phone and tried to email it to myself.  The email went through but the picture didn't.  So I just hung the hoodie up and took a picture.  I got it a size too big so it's nice and roomy and snuggly.

I was not inspired by today's drafting lesson.  It's supposed to be a city but it looks to me like a bunch of blocks.  Maybe if I'd taken the time to add windows and doors or little guys or something but it just isn't a fun picture.

 

The lessons in the kids' drawing book are much more fun.  I drew through three lessons this afternoon.  (it beats folding laundry) This one was my favorite.

I spent some time going through seven recipes to make a shopping list for next week's bout of Investment Cooking.  I was thinking I'd go to the grocery tomorrow but then I realized that tomorrow is Sunday and I don't want to be in the grocery on a weekend so I'll wait and go after lunch on Monday.

Today's toss was a Bend-ominoes game that LC and OJ never warmed up to.

The prompt today said to write a review of a restaurant you've never been to.  So I did, with a lot of qualifiers.  Seemed silly.
