Thursdaily with more snow.

My show nerves appear to be waiting until tomorrow - I am surprisingly zen today, and any nervousness I've felt has been over how miserable the Guppy is going to be while I'm away; she's been extra crabby about me going for my walks lately and I think we're going through an attachment phase. (Sorry, Becca! *wince*) I've also finished another handful of ACEOs, plus 6 yesterday, and I just got Guppy down to nap, so I may toss off another few, too. (They may go over like lead balloons, but they're fun, so I don't mind.)

I've been doing sea monster ACEOs for Sea Monster Month over at Torn World... and was toying with the idea of doing one a day for the month of May, until I remembered that the end of this month is going to be a MADHOUSE. I've got family coming up from the lower 48, and the end of May is always a little crazed anyway. Probably best not to make such promises. I'm going to aim for 20 monsters, because there are 23 posting days in the month but I'll be starting a little late since they have to go through the canon board, and that seems like a good round number. I should be finished with them mid-month.

I like progress bars!

2 / 20 Sea Monsters drawn in May!

If the weather ever clears up, I hope to get out in our van camping this month. But this is what my hiking trail looked like yesterday:


Happy May Day! (The black speck is Norway; those are his tracks.) It was snowing again this morning.

My mother has friends who are doing the tourist thing in Alaska in about three weeks. I do hope they are following what your weather is doing...

Your photo has punched me in the heart. The weather has only JUST come around the bend here (in Upstate NY!) And the forsythia is finally in bloom and the trees are finally leafing out and it's like, oh! good! my joints can un-knot! But you! Oh you, and the snow! Oh gosh.

No Guppypix in this post! What!
Good for you on your sea monsters progress! I just love this: "I'm going to aim for 20 monsters" which when taken out of context is a delicious writing prompt that I'm definitely going to use in an exercise today. :)
