Another Peek

I went outside this morning to fill the birdbath and took this picture of the rhubarb peeking out of the ground. It was very windy last night so a lot of leaves swirled into the picture but, trust me, there are wrinkled dark pink leaves and paler pink sprouts in this mess. I probably should have used a rake to get the leaves out of the way but I didn't think of that. Sorry. I'll do better next time.

 

This squirrel was checking out the fallen seeds and anything it could find on the ground. At least today it wasn't hiding behind the crooks so you can see its face. It didn't stay long or do anything interesting but at least it's a little wildlife. I saw one Sparrow sitting on the rim of a container but it didn't stay long enough for a picture, darn it.

 

I spent most of the day at the laptop working to incorporate the comments from yesterday's Novel Intensive critique session into my submission. It's interesting to read what the different people have to say about the same pages. Then when I was pretty much cross-eyed from doing that, I shifted to the critique I need to have done for my Zoom with cda on Monday morning. To say I'm mentally exhausted is an understatement. And I have three other critiques to do for next Wednesday. I'll do one tomorrow and tackle the others on Saturday. That way I'll have Tuesday to skim through them another time before we meet on Wednesday.

 

Today's drawing is from a page entitled Garden Friends. It's a beetle and a snail. I like drawing bugs so I stopped flipping pages when I saw the beetle. They were fun to draw and color. Although tonight I think the beetle looks a little like a wood tick. Maybe I need to clean my glasses.

 

And I have the hiccups. Dandy. I need to pack for Sunday's Vendor & Craft Show. Maybe tomorrow so I'll be all ready to load the car on Saturday. We need to bring our own tables and chairs for this show. We have a corner booth so we each get to utilize a whole table for our display. Six feet of table is plenty of space for all the doodads and display materials we have.
