No, it's not anyone's birthday and I would never address anyone's birthday in that way, anyway--kind of nerdy. I have just sketched a hippo and a birdy--that's all. This is my first hippo ever. They are sort of the red headed step children of the pachyderm world to me. The babies can be very cute, but the adults are really kind of nasty creatures and I have not warmed to them at all. Anyway, this was just a sketch that I did while watching Mad Men on-line. Kind of fitting: mad men and mad hippo. The hippo does look a bit mad, as they do... I would never want to run into one. They have very powerful jaws.
This morning, during break, I took a trip to the Brookdale mall's Farmer's Market (yes, they actually have one) and bought some delicious vegetables: summer squash, pea pods, onions and potatoes. I had some potatoes with a bit of butter and some chives tonight for dinner and they were awesomely delicious. These Hmong farmers really grow some good vegetables. It wasn't a huge farmer's market (there were only 4 tents), but the vegetables all looked great. In fact, they even cut the shaggy ends off the green onions. I bought one thing from each tent. I was very polite that way...

awesome drawing and awesome veggies. Sounds like a good day--despite the work part. Hope your Monday brings more good things. I've never watched Mad Men but hear it is worth a look see.
Hippo Hippo Hooray! Nice drawing of hippo and birdy too.
There is nothing like fresh vegies or fruit to make your day. I just ate a dish of blueberries and they were yummo.
