Day 13 - Raid

This is what it feels like to have carpenter ants raid your home.

I have a confession to make. As one who loves insects, there are some insects I hate.

The short list:
Carpenter ants in my house
Fire ants regardless of location
"American" cockroach (aka palmetto bug)
"German/Asian" cockroach

*Other roaches receive strong dislike*
(written with irony, because I love Mantids which are essentially big predatory cockroaches)

The sketch is of the little guest house I rent (in brown & black micron pen). The ants do raid it from time to time but the cold weather gives reprieve. That said, I still saw one this morning. >:(

Death to all roaches and ants that enter my house!!!

Day 6 - Lizard

  The drawing of this lizard was interrupted by errands today but luckily I remembered to come back to it. The hubs walked in while I was working on it and said " ugh " (and actually flicked out his tongue much like a lizard)...which I suppose means that it looks real enough ;) ~January 6, 2022~ The Gallery for this Draw Something ( anything! ) Daily Challenge can be seen   HERE

The Heian Book Report

I've started re-reading my Heian-era Japanese Literature books (all English translations) and thought I'd write a few thoughts about each while it's fresh in my mind. I started with Hojoki and Tsurezuregusa . So, this is just my announcement, you can read a bit more about my  Heian Obsession here  and I will post all of the book reports to this page .

Maceo

Last night I lost my beloved Maceo.  I've had him since he was six weeks old and he just turned 17 on April 1st.  I miss him dearly already. Rest well sweet boy.
