ALL The Laundry

That what I did most of today. Sorting laundry. Washing laundry. Drying laundry. Hanging up clean laundry. But first I had to fold the sheets I left in the dryer the last time I did laundry. I plan the loads so that the last one doesn't have anything in it that needs hanging up so I can let it flop around until it's dry and just leave it, especially if it's sheets because I purely dislike folding king-size sheets. I'm considering trading down to a queen size bed just for that reason.

I caught sight of this Downy Woodpecker pecking hopefully at the holes in the empty round feeder. I think that there's a bit of seed in the bottom that they can't clean out so there's the promise of something there. It keeps them coming back.

The Red-bellied Woodpecker proved to be just as much of a bully as the male Cardinal is by driving off any Sparrows that dared to land or try to land on the suet nuggets feeder when it was there.

For today's drawing practice I opened up Seuss-isms and drew one of a line of little yellow-haired guys following The Cat in the Hat across a couple pages.

And I drew a gratitude journal page today. Actually I drew two of them, one for yesterday and one for today, but I'm only posting today's.

I got some yarn in the mail today. I've been on an extended yarn diet trying not to buy yarn but knit up the too much yarn that I already have. The green Alpaca Waffle Hat is an example of that effort. But this yarn is for a special project that I can't divulge. 'Tis the season of gift knitting so I'm not telling what or for who.

I had a haircut appointment this afternoon and just wore a long-sleeved tee and a sweater. No coat or jacket. That is about to change. They're saying that temps are going to plummet and we might have sleet/snow on Thursday. Uh, kind of abrupt since it was 57 today. Maybe it's time to get the snowblower out and put the lawnmower away?
