A Satisfying Day

I had a vendor fair event today and it went well. It was my first sale using my lighted palm tree and flamingo head sunglasses rest. I like the way it looked. I sold seven books which is a good amount and the profit covers my booth fee. That's my measure of success, whether it pays for me to be there. Today it did. We'll see about tomorrow.

 

I started drawing this Blue Thistle last night but didn't get it finished in time to blog about it then. So I finished up today. I like it. Those aren't leaves around it but the book called them sepals. That doesn't seem right but who am I to argue?

 

A House Finch landed on the crook and then swooped down onto the square green feeder for just long enough to have his picture taken before flying away. I was just glad to see a bird on the feeder.

 

My virtual assistant was playing around on ChatGPT the other day and sent me a slew of graphics she made for me. I think this one is my favorite. Now I have to figure out what to use them for and where.

 

 

LJ came down to show me how to run my new Ariens Deluxe Snow King snowblower. (Pretty fancy name, huh?) He turned it on and ran it around but I'm still not sure I'd be comfortable with it. One day that I don't have an author event, I'll go out there and play with it, operator's manual in hand. 

Tomorrow I have to get up at 6 A.M. so I can eat breakfast, dress, and be out the door by 7:35 to get to Pulaski in time to set up at 8, before the fair starts at 9. I can guarantee I'll be tired when I get home. It's work to be "on" for five hours.
