And look who showed up at the square green feeder. The female Red-bellied Woodpecker! She came a bunch of times to the square feeder, each time prospecting for a peanut half. Once she had one in her beak she'd fly away.
Today's drawing prompt was Wildlife. I drew a couple bees because I like drawing bees and then tried my hand at drawing a Red-bellied Woodpecker. The bees are good, the bird's not bad.
When I went into the living room to draw the drapes I saw that the sky was alight with red orange light so I had to go out and try to take a picture without the streetlight pole in it. I love when the setting sun paints the bottoms of the gray clouds in colors like that. It was overcast all day but the sun managed to sneak between the horizon and the bottom of the layer of clouds. Nice.
I met my friend, KE, at the east side multiplex theatre this afternoon to see the Downton Abbey movie. It was good. We loved the dresses the women wore. Amazing! There weren't many people in the theater but we went to the earliest showing and it's a Packer home game weekend so people were concentrated on the west side. Then we went to a local restaurant, Mackinaw's, for an early supper. I ordered Nachos Grande off the appetizer menu and had a hard time eating half of them. Guess what I'm having for supper tomorrow. That's right, soggy tortilla chips with excellent toppings.
I spent part of the morning making one of The First Line stories legible by separating it into paragraphs. It's pretty long and very odd. I'll have to read it a few dozen times to see if it's something I want to share.
I am happy to be getting the blog post written and posted early tonight. The last two nights I've been up until after 11:30 and it's just too late, especially when a friend texted me at 7:15 this morning and woke me up. I'll sleep well tonight.
