Rabbit in watercolor



I spent this afternoon working from a tutorial in a book. I don't generally like to use tutorials and tend to stray from the instructions before finishing the work and that's what I did here. But, one can still learn valuable techniques from tutorials, so even when I don't follow it exactly, I still learn something.

In other news, I went to a stretching class this morning with one of my friends. They have these classes at the local community center and you can either pay a $5.00 walk-in fee or buy a punch card. I just paid the $5.00 fee this morning as I wanted to make sure I liked the class before I committed to more. I was a bit worried as my friend said the instructor was a library patron and I had all kinds of visions of who it might be, but it turned out to be none of them. I didn't recognize him, fortunately. The class was at 9:00, which is a bit early for me on my day off, but I think I will continue to go. It's a good way to start the day and I tend to neglect stretching with my regular work-outs.

I won't talk about the weather today, but I am going to talk about food. I always loved the potatoes and carrots that go along with a pot roast when I was growing up, but considering the fact that I don't eat beef anymore, I don't make pot roast (well, I don't usually make much of anything, to be perfectly honest;). Anyway, I found this recipe and I think I will try it on Sunday. I have had my crock pot for two years and have never used it, so this should be a good chance to break it in.

Edited to add, it would help if I attached the picture, wouldn't it? If you get this in your e-mail, the picture won't be there.
