Week 31 and 32 drawings.

 I don't know how I keep getting so behind in posting these but here is another two weeks worth of drawings. Pam had asked on my last drawing post when I started this. I don't know the exact date but the first one that I actually put a date on was June 1 2024. I was drawing before that but then I started in the sketch books. The first one has no date but the second one did have the June 1st date on the back. I've done almost every day since then.

I'm so sick of snow

Last Saturday we had yet more snow. I watched as the neighbor across the street snow blowed his driveway. This one lives next door to the other neighbor who has a snowblower.

When he was done, he did the sidewalk on his side of the street all the way up to the corner. After that, he did my next-door neighbor’s driveway. We’re talking about the one who moved. I believe before he moved. He asked the young guy across the street if he would keep his driveway clear for him. After he was done with the next-door neighbor’s driveway, he went back into his house.

I decided that I would wait until afternoon to go out and shovel my driveway. While I was sitting there watching TV I heard a noise and when I looked out, there was Stephen, my son‘s friend plowing my driveway again.

 I don’t have to tell you how pleased I was to see him out there. I wasn’t able to go out and thank him in person, but I did send him a text message thanking him and telling him I thought he was awesome.

Another work doodle

 Well we made it two weeks into the new year as of the time I am writing this post. At this point I am unsure if we will be working still when this post publishes. Since we were still there I did another doodle.

Mostly we just sit around all day doing nothing. They know we aren't doing anything but he apparently just wants to make sure that we are still getting our hours. While I appreciate the pay, it's not very good business wise. The few customers that do come in the store will talk about how sad it is and ask us what we will do. Some come in and ask what's going on. All we can say is that we know we're closing but we don't know when. There are two women who said they are going to  come in every day to buy something to keep us going. That's a nice gesture on their part but I'm afraid it is too little too late. 

The birds

 Can't remember when this was, maybe a week or so ago. I happened to look out the window and saw a large number of birds flying up from the street into the tree in my front yard. They were followed by two more large groups of birds. The tree was filled with birds

I think some of them had already flown off when I got the pictures.

Guess there was a birdie convention in town. I posted that on Facebook and someone who lives down the street from me had said that they were gathered at her house a few days before.
