An Evening Visitor

I haven't been seeing bunnies but I've seen evidence of their visits. Tonight, however, I saw one. It was eating fallen birdseed and cautiously hopping around looking up at the patio door every once in a while. I had to turn off the flash so that I could take the picture so it's a little blurry but I was happy to see different wildlife.

The sun and wind are still carving away at the snow on top of the platform feeder. I keep expecting it to topple over one of these days but so far it's pretty resilient.

I had to find something to knit tonight and I showed you the cashmere yarn I balled up yesterday. This afternoon I cast on the Cashmere Sophie scarf and got it started so that I wouldn't have to start it while trying to talk. I thought I'd get through the first tiny ball of yarn (approx. 45 yds.) but I only got about halfway through. This promises to be a long project.

I was supposed to make today's Lesson 12 on brown craft paper or on brown grocery bags but I don't have any of that stuff so I dug out some tan tag board and colored on that. The colored pencils didn't show up as well as I hoped but, trust me, there's color on here. This is a peacock feather and there are lots of green lines making up the body of the feather. I wish it was darker. Maybe I'll draw it again on white paper.

To make me happier I did these Zentangles. I like 'em.

Around 4 o'clock I looked out and saw that the birdbath heater was almost fully exposed so I went out with my water jug and topped it off. Hopefully it will stay put for a day so I don't have to go out in the cold and snow again.

I went and got a haircut today. My hairdresser exclaimed how much better I look than the last time she saw me. Now I have color in my face and I don't look half dead. I had an afternoon writing zoom and an evening knitting zoom. I'm kinda zoomed out. I have to spend the weekend critiquing submissions for my Novel Writing group next Wednesday on zoom. What did we ever do before Zoom?
