Dreary

With a capital Drear. That was today here in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It's a good thing I mowed the leaves yesterday because it rained overnight and kind of spit and drizzled today. Not really rain but the roads were wet enough that I had to use the wipers to clear the spray. I filled the feeders this afternoon and saw one Sparrow at the round feeder and three Juncos on the ground but it was so dim and dreary I didn't even try to take their pictures. I heard the weather guesser say that it's supposed to clear up tomorrow afternoon. Let's hope he's right.

This morning I decided to draw out of Drawing Cute. Here's a Popsicle (which is a brand name so I hope she had permission to use it) and cotton candy. The color's kind of pale in the photo but I like the way it looks in person.

Then after lunch I painted these poppies. They turned out okay. Even the leaves are okay.

I knitted after supper but I can't show you because it's a present. Shhh!

I signed in to the Page Pals Zoom room at 5 o'clock hoping to work on the ending of my manuscript but I've always thought that I had the ending already. I read it and reread it, took out a couple hundred words that I'd tacked onto the end of it, and wrote a couple paragraphs to wrap it up. I'll probably change it sixteen times but I think I can safely say that the first draft is done. I hope. Whew.

And I got the Final Jeopardy! My Catholic grade school days paid off! November 1 is All Saints Day. So the answer had to be, Who are the New Orleans Saints?
