We're under a Winter Weather Advisory tonight until 8am tomorrow. The weather guy said a winter-y mix and then snow. Just great. All I can do is hope he's wrong. There are a couple errands I need to run tomorrow and I don't want to have to drive or walk on icy pavement. But I will if I have to. Maybe it'll start melting by the time I get organized and ready to go.
I saw a Red-bellied Woodpecker on the suet pellets when I was making my breakfast this morning but didn't get a picture. He was flying away when I laid my hand on the camera but I did manage to snap a picture of the male Downy Woodpecker on the suet cakes feeder a little later. If you look closely you can see that the grass was still frosty.
Today's Mark Making was to cut up a bunch of the things we'd done and make a grid collage. I was glad to have a big paper cutter to make short work of the measuring and cutting. Then I sort of planned where I put things and glued them down. It's okay.
I'm much happier with the chibi drawings that I did this afternoon. A raccoon and a ram, and I got to use some of my new "colors of the world" colored pencils that are just right to almost match the colors in the book.
For most of the afternoon I spent time doing another Novel Writing group critique and then started to reread the 1st person manuscript of The Seaview 2. I'm trying to find places where I can ramp up the conflict, up Rose's stakes, and increase the tension. I'm so confict-averse in my life that I find it very difficult to impose big problems on my characters but I'm trying.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Sounds like winter is determined to hang on up there. Be careful when you're out and about today.
