Day of the Cardinals

 Both Cardinals came to the feeder today. Together even. He swooped in first and then she followed. They didn't stay together long. She flew down to the ground to peck around in the fallen seed.



And he stayed in the platform feeder sorting through the hulls looking for the perfect seed. Just as I snapped this picture she flew up to join him so I got ready to take another but first he and then she flew away so all I got was a reddish blur on the edge of the frame. Oh well, I tried.


Today's drawings are a Bat Bean and a Bug Eyed Bird. At least that's what the artist calls them. The further I delve into this 3-D book the less I am attracted to the exercises. Maybe I need to go back to one of the other books to renew my enthusiasm or maybe I just need to perk up.



This afternoon I parked on the couch to watch Call the Midwife reruns and knit on the DK Shawl. It's at least double what it was last night, the rows are getting longer and it's starting to roll up on itself. I hope that it blocks straight when the time comes.


Today's toss was a purple pencil St. Nick. Purple just isn't the right color for a St. Nick.

The prompt today asked if a giant rabbit knocked on your door asking for a drink would you let him in? No, not even if it was Halloween. I'm not letting some stranger into my house. No way.

It snow flurried a bit this afternoon but didn't amount to much. Naturally it was snowing when I left the grocery store so I got pelted with big wet flakes as I walked to the car. I got a haircut today too.

I wonder who thinks up those prompts. A giant rabbit knocks on your door??? I'm with you. No way a rabbit of any size comes in. Good thinking.
