This Starling landed on the finch feeder and couldn't figure out how to get its big self scrunched down enough to peck at any of the ports so it flapped away.
There were about six suet nuggets left in the feeder and this squirrel was determined to eat them. The new feeder has a solid bottom so the last few nuggets are more difficult to nibble on. They must roll away. After lunch I filled all the feeders so there should be plenty of takers tomorrow.
It wasn't until I was done painting that I realized I'd painted the same leaves last week. Oh well, it was good practice.
The drawing for today was a soccer ball and golf ball out of Drawing Cute. The soccer ball is incomplete because the author got frustrated and scribbled it out. I followed her lead except for the scribbling.
Look what came in the mail today. It's the fast food/diner food keychain/backpack clips to be given to people who buy Better Than Mom's. I really like them, they're colorful and squishy. I think I'll tell people who ask if they can buy one that they're $15 but they come with a free book!
I spent quite a bit of the afternoon going through the Manuscript Analysis from ProWritingAid piece by piece. I made some of the suggested changes and dismissed a lot more, maybe half and half. Reading through it really made me feel good about it being ready to publish and I'm impressed at how accurate A.I. can be. There are a few clinkers in there but overall it's pretty darned good.
My baby brother, AJ, flew into town this afternoon and came over to my place for a visit then we went out to supper to a place we've gone to since we were kids, Kroll's. We had cheeseburgers and I added to the cheese load with an order of deep fried cheese curds. It was nice to have a meal together and catch up.
