Three full months into this project, and I can only summarize this month’s artwork as completely random observations. No real theme emerged. Some days were less inspiring, so on those days I tried to capture some sort of descriptive phrase. Other days the observation was completely hilarious, and often involved misbehaving animals (the crows in the yard are repeat offenders of this).

• Nothing stood out for this Monday
• Talking about the outer planets, and one of them is not a cookie
• More jazz!
• Reminding myself to excercise
• The Coast Guard flies over every day, to which we point and yell, “There’s our boy!”
• Making art for a labyrinth
• Biking along the river path

• Jingle Cat is one of the neighborhood cats that always likes to say “Hello”
• Daily yoga – Best preventative maintenance
• Free sunflowers? Sure!
• Churros – Honestly one of the tastiest treats
• I put a sprinkler in the bird water bowl and the crows promptly removed it. They did not approve!
• I’m an Old Cowhand – Remember this song? I do, from the movie Innerspace.
• Chippity loves hanging out on the big rock in the backyard.

• A little free library, also known as “the neighborhood store” had cool things this time around…weights and videos!
• Yellow line Metro bridge is open again!
• Saw the off-Broadway musical Beetlejuice, which was awesome!
• Going to the office, where the conference room owls (video telecon system) misbehave
• I kid you not, a 6-squirrel stampede ran past us while we were sitting in the backyard having lunch. I was waiting for a mini chuckwagon to roll through next.
• Took up a new hobby…skating!
• Learning to skate in the parking lot. I stay on the little loop for now.

• Trash day in the neighborhood yields a fountain, and it still works!
• Baking extravaganza before the RV trip
• First RV trip of the season
• Camping, walking around the lakes of a park, and PLNT Burger
• Visiting Parker Dam State Park in PA
• Hiked 9 miles of trails, including extreme route-finding
• A pie in, pie out trip = Get pie on the way in and on the way out
• Blueberry was the winner over egg custard

• One of my pandemic skills I retained was learning to cut my own hair. Curly hair layers can be a challenge and sometimes they come out a bit wonky. When that happens, just wait 3 weeks and try again!
• How I learn the names of birds: Google “small grey Virginia bird punk hairdo.” Result = Tufty Titmouse. And they carry peanuts which are just as big as their little bird bodies.
• Ending the month with a quick trip to Florida for work
