Even though I'm getting old, and I'll never get everything done, I still like my birthday. A day in the summer when I can just goof off. And of course, I stretch it out as much as possible.
Yesterday, however, was thoroughly productive. I think I did ok at the auditions for "Merry Wives," although I may not have a schedule that will sufficiently allow participation. Maybe in the spring.
Right now, I'm redyeing my clothes for Netherworld. I'm going to hang up a wall hanging that's been sitting waiting for a home for several months, and I'm going to try to work on the stuff in the shed. It's been so humid that a mere 86 degrees is unbearable.

sapphire_d sometime while she is on vacation and go art supply shopping. In addition to the endless array of pens, inks, and papers we could indulge in, I also need paint.
See, we have decided upon a use for the old fan blades: Squirrel baffles. The squirrels are still coming in slowly, although we've done a great deal to make things less palatable for them. Our next move will be truly eccentric-looking: Fan blades in the trees between the squirrel approaches and the feeder. I thought painting them with pictures of birds would be fun and good practice.

Messy food. Watermelon, homemade ice cream.
Nobody makes the whole class sing happy birthday to you because there's no school.
Does that answer?
