Slightly Perkier

I managed to shed a bit of yesterday's blahs this morning. I got out my old shovel and made a path from the patio door to the birdbath so I don't slip and slide around out there when it gets cold again. Which it will, I am certain. After all, it's only the end of February.

 


The Sparrows discovered that I'd refilled the feeders and were industriously working to empty the round feeder as quickly as they could. You can kind of see the level of seed has fallen. The squirrels got busy eating the suet nuggets too but I didn't get a picture of that. 


I realized that I forgot to take a picture of the little skeins of yarn I bought the other day. They're only 87 yards each and are acrylic which will be good for crocheting little creatures.

 


Today's watercolor flower is Foxglove. I thought I'd done a terrible job but looking at it now it isn't so bad after all. One more flower to paint and then the 31-day challenge/class is done.

 

I got to spend the evening with LC. We crocheted. Her unicorn head is starting to look the way it's supposed to look. Mine got to the point of having eyes put in. Next it gets stuffed and the rest of the body gets crocheted.

 


I also worked on the bottom of the pink owl that I'm making with the same pattern OJ is using. He wasn't there tonight so he didn't get a second lesson but I'm sure we'll have another chance soon. 


I spent most of today finishing the read-through of Spies Don't Retire. Once I get the blurb where I want it it'll be publication time. That's exciting!

It's late. I'm tired. Good night, all!

That path to the birdbath looks like a good thing. Don't want you slipping and sliding out there in the snow. You're a wise woman! And the birds and squirrels thank you.
