Not So Much

As much as I accomplished yesterday, I really slacked off today. And I didn't feel guilty about it. I thought I might mow the lawn but we have a heat advisory in effect so I elected not to fry my brains. I spent most of the day working to tidy up or finish short stories and figure out how to mark them so I know what's done and what's not. I finished another story and rearranged one so that it makes more sense. I guess I can pick up the threads of these stories after all.

 

A Downy Woodpecker showed up on the suet cakes this morning. This is a rotten picture but you can kind of see the bird hanging off the side of the feeder.

 

Today's drawing prompt was Flowers so I drew this page of daisy-like ones. I like the black and yellow together, kind of like bees.

 

One of the squirrels hung on the suet nuggets for the longest time. It bent around the feeder to get the best angle on the nuggets. I don't know how they do that for so long. The blood would rush to my head and I'd get dizzy.

 

I took a few minutes to assemble my supplies for Saturday's Book Fair at the Art Garage. I can get 23 books into the gray rolling backpack, along with six easels in the front pocket, a pack of bookmarks, and business cards in a side pocket. In the blue bag is a tablecloth, the beach table runner, my Square and Venmo things, the gift keyrings, and the easel for my poster. In the white plastic Office Depot bag is the poster that fits on the easel. I need to print out a card to offer a "buy the series" price of $40, a $5 savings. Hey, maybe someone will bite. I also want to dig out a notebook to collect email addresses for my newsletter. The hang tags haven't been shipped so I'm sure they won't arrive in time for Saturday's fair. Oh well, I tried.

 

I went to the grocery after supper today instead of in the middle of the day. There were a whole lot fewer people there and I got a better parking place. Hm, maybe evening is a better time to go. They even had the greenish bananas I buy so they last longer which they didn't have the last time I went in the day.

I went on Amazon looking for "food" keyrings and found some different ones that I might like better so I ordered one set to see how they look in real life. I'm not crazy about the stuffie ones I have, although LC and OJ like them.
