busy busy..........goofing off

yesterday i should have: brought in wood, cleaned chickens, canned chicken, baked something, planted, washed hand washables.......... did some gardening,...... instead look at what i DID do ( bernie does think i am lazy, and i am beginning to think he's right) but i am really starting to get excited about how this is coming along. now TODAY i will have to bring in wood and go to the po and do something with the chickens, as really i can't take too many days off as things stand now. IF the garden was straightened out, and the chickens were in an outside pen (ditto the ducks) then life would be a lot easier for me but that isn't reality right now, so i need to actually do something around here..........ahem.......unless it RAINS today..... (checking the weather thingie....) HHHHHHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMM the weather thingie says RAIN TODAY, maybe i need to draw some more? i mean if it rains i can't work the garden, or clean chickens right (but i do need wood in as it's to go below freezing this week) i may however have to clean the woodstove which will put a bit of a cramp in my plans unless i can figure how to carry the overly full ash bucket out to be dumped.

anyway, let's see what was for supper last night, .........ohhhhhh chicken, sort of a sticky chicken kinda sorta but not really.  i took a fryer and baked it in the oven with ketchup, mustard, honey and garlic..... breast side down in the mix and then flipped it up

it was moist and really pretty good. we had it with left over potato salad and spinach.

now today i should bake, snickerdoodles and peanutbutter chocolate chips

i got duck eggs but i think until this drawing is done i won't be doing too much of anything else

i looked through the duck drawing the other day, and there are a LOT, now that being said, there isn't enough of any one 'style' to do a cohesive story book. now a gallery show on 'the muscovy of vi's house' yup there is enough.........

and now i am working on these 'big' blk/whts

so i am at my wit's end now with this, i tried to redo some in color, and some in the more child friendly blk/wht, and there are so many in my customary style (which is what i been showing you all) so i am still faced with a delemia of where to go with this

 but i keep drawing and figure eventually i'll either end up with something or even if i just have a lot more of the same........ at least i am still drawing

no?

oye

now this would have been posted early but terri a chicken friend called and we talked about (what else???) chickens and ducks!

so i am going to post this now, as i have to grab a fast shower and get to the po for bernie's bd cd

(2012) and my book (the immortal life of henrietta lacks)

he's got avatar and harry potter 6 coming and i have the secret life of the mongol queens coming

but that will be next week i think

ok ttyl

everyone wanna sorta check in so i know you are all ok?
