The first bird I saw today was this female House Finch perched on the side of the feeder. It threw some seed down on the snowy ground under the feeder and a lone Mourning Dove showed up to peck through it.
I was happy to see that the next bird in Draw Like an Artist was a Cedar Waxwing with its back to the viewer so that there was only one partial foot that needed drawing.
Then I drew this bird-like creature out of Seuss-isms and it occurred to me that Dr. Seuss might have had the same bad luck that I have drawing bird feet because all of his birds have people-like feet. Made me feel a whole lot better.
DD called last night and we talked about food for when they're visiting and I realized that I don't have "food" in the house, I have "meals." That meant that I had a nice long list when I went to the grocery late this afternoon and a nice big bill at the checkout. I don't mind, it'll be worth every penny to spend time with my beloved daughter and her family. I haven't seen her husband or son since Christmas 2019. Good grief!

That total at the end of grocery shopping can be startling. I was hungry when I went to Costco this week and that's not the time to be in that place. Everything looked so tempting. The total when I checked out was scary but I won't have to go to the grocery for a month!
