What a delightful page! Love the Da de los Muertos imagery.

We're watching football today but I got a good start on a new drawing earlier. The art supply store had a sale on colored pencils so I got some and found a new kind of marker and got two of them too. Having new toys is so refreshing! I started the design with the lines in a photo I took when I...

Yesterday we went birding and I did lots more walking than I've tried in a long while. We didn't see as much as hoped for (as was there on Wed.) but our intent was really to enjoy the sunny, relatively warm day while there still was such. So it was a big success! Today I don't have anything...

Afternoon, O-zzies! Back to gray today, but it is still warmish. DH did his bird survey this morning and there was lots to see, especially sparrows, but many others too. The poinsettia he nurtured into a gorgeous plant last year has grown even more this year and today we first saw the beginning...

Sorry, I've always gone for the mental not physical hunks. So, no surprise, my favorite TV character (as opposed to the actor) is Dr. Spencer Reid of Criminal Minds.

The bird bath is very popular but we don't have a heater, so sadly freezing weather will soon mean taking it down. It was amazing this Blue Jay came all the while knowing I was waiting there to take its picture. Credits: -blue background, leaf, postcard, old paper, paints: Going Postal by...

Lovely day here and warmer. They say we had frost, but I don't think in our yard. QOTD: Jean is not my first name, which I dislike, but my middle name. My family has called me Jean longer than I can remember, so it goes back to early childhood. Chris, your yesterday all sounded wonderful...

Ellen, congratulations on your fabulous news! So nice to have the celebration with your sister and now that big birthday for Dad. Enjoy!!!
