Day 46: Ant Lion Larva

Today I helped my sister clean some old junk out of her closets and throw it out or take it to Goodwill. This got me wondering about what sort of fastidious insects might be a good representation of cleaning house for my daily bug project.

I chose the ant lion larva because of their wonderful way of unceremoniously flinging the garbage and detritus (usually insect carcasses) out of their funnel-shaped sand traps. It was with this same enthusiasm I tossed all the unused things and garbage into trash bags - I don't know why but it is highly satisfying for me to get rid of stuff, including other people's.

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.
