Side Eye

The Nuthatch visited the round feeder a bunch of times today and almost every time I saw it I tried to take its picture and failed. I got this one picture with almost the whole bird in it but I noticed that you can just see its eye. Like it's giving us the side-eye. It pokes around in the ports looking for a sunflower nut and when it finds one off it goes.

 

A pair of Robins landed in the backyard today too.They were too far apart to get them in the same picture. They're ground feeders so they don't land on any of the feeders. When they landed under the feeders the squirrels and Mourning Doves scattered like the grownups had arrived. Funny. I saw a trio of Canada Geese fly over too but they were going the wrong direction. Silly geese.

 

When I opened the drapes this morning the clouds looked cool so I took their picture. I thought it looked like waves. I did not go out in the middle of the night to see the lunar eclipse.

 

Today's watercolor was a single stem Rose. I took my time and tried to emulate her brush strokes. I didn't do too badly, if I do say so myself.

 

In the morning I drew yesterday's gratitude page. I had to put my crashed computer on there because I was so happy to have this old one to take its place while the new one gets fixed. Unfortunately the fixit guy couldn't fix it remotely this morning so I had to take it into the shop. They said it'll take a couple days, business days that is. So some day next week I should get the news. When I took it in the guy asked if I'd bought it there. I said no but it never occurred to me that I could go there for a new laptop. Next time I'll start there.

 

I crocheted at Friday Night Knitting tonight. I pulled out the white, too big owl bottom I'd crocheted last month and turned the yarn into a tiny owl, talons, and wings. Next I'll attach the parts, add eyes, and stuff it. I've got those safety eyes I bought at Joann but I've also got that card of cool looking buttons I got last weekend at The Clearing bookstore. Hm, what to do?

 

Tomorrow is another Market on Military so I'm going to sign off and hit the hay. My alarm will ring too early. It'll be the first time I'll have keychains to give away with a book purchase. Fingers crossed.
