I saw a flash of yellow outside and looked over to see a Goldfinch flutter from the top of a crook to the finch feeder. It's still blotchy but is a lot yellower than it was the last time it visited.
The prompt I picked to draw today was Something Made of Wood. I grabbed the wooden vase that Grandpa Stephan turned on his lathe. This is not an accurate representation of that excellent piece of woodworking but it looked better when I drew it than it does now. Hey, at least I drew.
This bunny hopped over to feast on the fallen cracked corn from the round feeder. When I looked at it the chipmunk was there too but by the time I got the camera up and focused the chippie was nowhere to be seen.
It was drizzling rain most of the day so you get yesterday's picture of the rhubarb. It's growing fast but not fast enough for me. I'm chomping at the bit for it to get tall enough that I can pull some stalks and make rhubarb sauce to have on my yogurt in the morning like I did last summer. Can't wait!
Today's watercolor is okay. It's supposed to be wildflowers in front of a summer sky. This is my second attempt at it today. The first one was too wet so the paint dabs for the flowers spread all over. Didn't look right so I started over. This is better, not great, but better.
At Friday Night Knitting I worked on the foot of the Zauberball Sock. I have to knit to 7" before starting on the toes. I have a ways to go.
I felt sorry for the people in town for the NFL Draft today. It was drizzling pretty much all day. All of the spectator areas are in the open air so ponchos and umbrellas had to be the order of the day. I think it's supposed to be nicer tomorrow.
I managed to write a couple new pages where my villain is being slightly villainous. I have a hard time with villainy but I'm trying.

Fingers crossed you weren't too early with your change-of-seasons chores. But better to have that stuff done -- even your socks!
