Grocery day is Piglet’s favorite day. He always commandeers one of the bags for a fortress of solitude. He hung out there for a couple of hours.

Black Raspberry Flowers
The raspberries are blooming!
Clouds
I took the dog out and was rewarded with some pretty clouds.
Chair
From today’s walk in the stacks.
I did a thing
gouache on 140 lb cold press watercolor paper
I haven’t painted in ages, but I got motivated today.
I got a super cheap gouache set and an even cheaper watercolor sketchbook. The paints are not great, I’m sure, but if you aren’t trying to get solid, flat coverage they’re honestly not too bad. I thought they worked okay as a watercolor wash, too. I’ll definitely get my money’s worth out of them.
Red Paper Boat
The kids a few doors down were setting off firecrackers in the back field a few nights ago. They left their trash, so I grabbed some of it for collage. And also to make a little paper boat.
Columbine
It’s blooming!
Prepping Veggies
Spinach, mushrooms, and green onions are my go to combo for veggie scrambled eggs.
Another One Bites the Dust
I killed another pen today. This one lasted 51 pages and 28 days.
Trying to Kill Me
I love this time of year, and today was absolute perfection. Warm and sunny. But the pollen is evil. I’m tired of sneezing.
