A Quick Learner

You remember yesterday how I was sure that my new round green feeder was squirrel proof? Not so fast, Barbara. I walked out into the kitchen this afternoon and this is what I saw. I rapped on the patio door a couple of times and it jumped down, but it stayed on a chair for a few minutes to see if I'd go away. I didn't so it scampered off. Bye!

 

I wasn't in the mood to do much today. I spent most of the day back here reading the next couple of chapters in the how-to book and adding thoughts (in red) to yesterday's timeline outline. The more I read the more I think I have A LOT of work ahead of me.

 

I drew a Water Lily today. I did it fast so it isn't as precise as if I'd taken my time and the coloring is a little slapdash. But I drew and that has to count for something.

 

Over the last couple of nights I knitted on Scrap Hat #5 and got halfway through the crown decreases. Only about 5 more rounds to go and it'll be done. Knitting 2 stitches together with a very big needle and 5 strands of yarn of various thicknesses is challenging. 

 

After supper I drew a gratitude journal page. Not a lick of sunshine today so I had to just color a gray blob for the overcast sky. 

 

At Friday Night Knitting, I added rounds to the Dark Teal Chemo Hat. It's a good pattern for knitting and chatting. This yarn is half nylon and half acrylic so it isn't very sproingy which makes for tired hands. 

 

Last night I found Mythbusters on Discovery On Demand and happily watched the first 2 episodes. That was such a fun show.
