A Bird in the Hand

Les Petit Dolls with Suzi Blu continues to be so much fun, and this piece may be my favorite yet. I drew the girl with the bird, and then as I was looking for text in one of my bird books, I found these words, "What Bird Is That?" — perfect, I thought.

Speaking of birds, I added a ground feeder to my collection of bird feeders in the backyard. The nice man at Wild Birds Unlimited told me that it would attract indigo buntings who are migrating through our area. So, I sat it up and added the recommended bird seed. A little while later I look out the window hoping to see a swarm of brilliant blue birds. No birds, but my cat Annabelle was there, slyly positioned by the planter, and I think she was saying, "Come here, my pretties!"
