Today I made a Layered Veggie Bake for supper that's going to last me for 3 more nights. It's a layer of potato slices, one of zucchini slices, then eggplant slices, sauteed onion & bell pepper, a layer of tomato slices. It gets baked for a while then uncovered, cheese piled on, and baked a little more. It's so good I could have eaten another serving but I didn't.

 

The drawing prompt today was Faces. I used a thicker fine liner and drew a few faces in my sketchbook. The one in the lower left was an attempt to draw a face without looking. Totally unsuccessful.

 

I filled the feeders and this chipmunk came out to clean up the spilled seed. The cool thing was a squirrel arrived shortly after and they had a tussle over who got to eat. For a few second the two rodents were a ball of fur and tails until the chipmunk raced off. It tried coming back but the squirrel lunged at it and drove it away. Nature.

 

I went up to look at a brown speck on the sedum and found a little brown moth and a bunch of bees. The bees were having a field day flying from flower to flower searching for nectar. I assume the moth was looking for nectar too. I don't know what moths eat.

 

The gratitude journal page for today was simple. I liked drawing a tiny veggie for each layer of my baked supper casserole.

 

And I added a few rounds to the Iron Pyrite Sock last night and tonight. I've got a ways to go before time to do the toe decreases but since I finished the warshrag last night I have to find something else to knit before next Friday.

 

I have a confession to make. I turned on the furnace this morning. It got down into the 40s overnight and was 66 in the house when I got up this morning. Too cold to ignore. I know I'm probably a wimp but I hate being cold, especially my hands, so I just turned it on. I had to pile on an extra little blanket last night too. It feels too early for this.
