Slouching Couple

Well, one is slouching, at least. This is a slouch that only a teenager can do and it is usually accompanied with surliness or whininess. This sketch was done from another WDE photo. I am not posting anything at wetcanvas because it is late and I would then have to comment on everyone's work. Again, the bench is just lightly penciled in because that is what one often does with sketches... Again, unfortunately, their scanned versions often look a bit weird. The subjects looked much more world weary, edgy and European in the photograph. I'm afraid I Americanized them a bit...

I see there is more snow on the ground. And yes, I know weather is unpredictable and all and we sometimes get early snow, but this is really early. I know it won't stick around, but it's there and that's enough for me to whine. I want fall back. That one week of fall was fun while it lasted. I did hear that it is going to warm up a bit by the end of the week, but I'm still going to whine as I feel like fall has already been tainted by snow monsters (unfortunately not the abominable variety as they are, at least, cute and when they have their teeth pulled by elf dentists can put stars upon Christmas trees).

In other news, my farmer's market carrots are almost gone and I dug into the potatoes last night. I was going to make chili, but decided to do that later on this week. The cilantro should hold up that long. I did add cilantro to my potatoes and that was a good combination. Cilantro makes just about anything taste better.

Yesterday afternoon at the library a little boy came up to the desk with his mom and was very chatty. I learned right away that his name was James and he was 5. I tried to give him a sticker, but I guess the dog sticker I offered him wasn't good enough (we would have a much better selection if someone wouldn't have kept putting piles of our limited supply of stickers on the counter for people to take on their own. grrr...) He told me I could give it to his mom. Anyway, after much chatting and after I checked out the books that he carried to this desk, he told me that he "throwed up last night." I am hoping that I will not have to come here later on this week to say that I "throwed up" last night. I don't want to have to do another Pepto Bismol vomit post.
