Doing not much, slowly

I was supposed to depict this brown pelican in watercolor for the online class IMAGINARY TRIPS - this one being a trek to the beach. But at the last minute I panicked and broke out my Prismacolor pencils instead.

We're having a week of springtime before the rain begins again. I pulled weeds this morning and hope to get the front of the house put back together before Friday afternoon, when the first storm is due. It's amazing how things can fall apart when unattended.

Yesterday the temperature reached 70º here, unusual for February even in northern California. The sunshine is so invigorating, makes you want to get outdoors and in motion once more after hibernating all winter.
