I got all excited when I saw the black and white head of a bird on the suet nuggets. I took the picture, thinking it was a Downy Woodpecker. I was disappointed when I realized that it was a Chickadee. And it even moved enough that it's blurry. Thanks a lot, bird.
This clump of daffodils is screening one of the mouse bait boxes. There are four of them around the foundation of my house and every three months a pest nerd comes to refill the bait to keep the little rodents at bay. Pest nerds is what they call themselves. Really. It's all over their advertising and handouts.
The drawing of the day is a Platypus. My colored pencils weren't as dark as the picture in the book. She said she used alcohol markers to color her examples but those markers really bleed through paper. They even bleed through thick watercolor paper so I'm not going to use them in my plain paper sketchbook. I think it turned out very platypus-like.
I had a two-hour Zoom this morning of the Novel Intensive critique group and I didn't get kicked off the internet once. Toward the end, I got a message that my internet was unstable, but it evidently wasn't unstable enough to drop. Hopefully this is the start of better things. I got some good comments and some good critiques. Stuff I have to think about.
For the last few weeks I haven't gotten many clicks on my Amazon ads so this afternoon I did a little research and found new keywords for my three Seaview Series books. I don't want to change too many at once so that the algorithm isn't overwhelmed but I want more traction. Maybe I need to make new ads. Also I tried, for the umpteenth time, to take Christmas at Seaview off Extended Distribution and this time it worked. I don't know what was different but it saved the change. Hallelujah. That has been sooooo frustrating.

That is one big squirrel hanging there on the feeder. It looks like a bear.
