We should have believed that rain prediction, but then we would have missed out on a lovely walk. #doglifeisgood #twincitiesdogs #discoveranoka

I voted and backlighting ate out the sides of my face! Seriously, I’m hoping my vote for Erin Heers-McArdle for our school board makes a difference.

It’s that time of year where I’m always looking for something hot to drink. This was a very rooty blend from Mountain Rose Herbs that has a number of herbs that are good for the liver, such as burdock root, dandelion root, yellow dock root, milk thistle seed. I added a little licorice root for sweetness and Siberian ginseng in hopes that it would lift that “it’s too cold! lethargy. 🥶

A few photos from a walk in Anoka by the Rum River that appeared in my most recent blog post that ponders the question whether you can mourn and be joyful simultaneously. Link is in my bio.

On our walk today, I discovered what remained of a duck blind on the Mississippi River. I’m guessing either the flooding or high winds we’ve had broke it loose. I looked for a second duck blind and found it barely visible in the trees and a bit underwater. You can see its ramp in the second photo.

Another refrigerator clean out meal - made from scratch vegetable stock, sprouted adzuki beans, cabbage, cilantro and I forgot what else. Plus avocado toast on my homemade gluten free bread.

My attempt at gluten free bread. The dough was too thin for a free form loaf and I only have glass bread pans so I had to bake at 350 instead of 450 (so took longer). I’m not sure why it didn’t rise enough but the crust is crispy and it tastes good so I’m calling this success. 👩‍🍳

I’ve been too busy with homework to draw for awhile but I’m trying to get back to it with quicky dog sketches and portrait work. Pencil shading weight exercise today to figure out wrinkles for the drawing I hope to do tomorrow.
