Not a special day of wild adventures. The morning exercise and take the trash to the dumpster walk turned out to be the big outdoor adventure. The cool air had a strong nip to it but was still pleasant to get out see the sights. We are starting to get some greenery to develop in protected locations. The randomish walk passed by a brier patch with a couple of leaves that made it through the freezing part of the winter.
Here and there in protected spots is some small amount of fresh greenery peeking out to see if it is safe to come out and play yet.
The OFM got out his new pencils set and started his swatch chart for the pencils.
We have found it is way better to choose your color from a scribble on paper (swatch chart) than to just look at the lead color in the pencil. However it does take a good while to create a swatch chart but it well worth our while to see what the pencil lead will actually look like when choosing your next pencil strokes on the coloring. By the time we had it all done and verified it was supper time. We had country fried chicken with gravy and mashes potatoes with whole kernel corn and cheap root beer. The food was prepared by Marie Callendar of frozen dinners fame and is actually pretty good.
With a little luck we will get to do a little pencil lead smearing around tomorrow and have a great time. Good night friends.
Marie does a pretty good job of cooking. Lovely pencils. Just beautiful sitting there in a row, but you're right about seeing what they really look like on paper.
