A Furry Visitor

I glanced out the patio door this morning while I was eating my Cheerios and saw this bunny investigate under the step and then sit there looking around. I don't know if there was anything interesting under the step or in the yard but it stayed there a good long time before hippity-hopping away. When I opened the shade over my bed this morning there was a hen turkey walking around down the block. I kept watching to see if it would come visit but it didn't. Oh well.

 

I spent most of the day at Townline Pub & Grill at a vendor show. Traffic was pretty light but I sold nine books and gave away one. Two women bought all three of The Seaview Series books for a little discount so I threw in the Christmas novella too. They also bought Better Than Mom's so I thought they deserved a thank you. It was rainy most of the day so perhaps people stayed home but I did alright.

 

Today's drawing creature is a Pelican. It turned out well and even the coloring turned out well. I was so tired from the day at the show (it's hard to be "on" for 5 hours) that I picked a little bird, something simple, to draw.

 


It was raining and I looked out to see this squirrel hanging onto the suet nuggets feeder and having a high old time. It kept looking around like it either expected applause or to be chased away.

 

It was supposed to get up to 70 degrees today but I doubt it did. Let me check on my phone... it says it did but since I was inside most of the day I didn't notice. And 70 in the rain isn't the thrill it would be if it was sunny. My tax accountant called me this afternoon needing more expenses to balance out my writing profits so I took a quick canter through my file of receipts and added up a bunch of things. I was very pleased with myself that I kept such good records. Whew. Taxes are a pain.

Tax time! It comes every year but it sounds like you're all set. We had to pay more than the past few years but I'm telling myself that it's a privilege to live in this country so no complaining.
