I left home at 5:30 am to ride to the Y and I was in the pool at 5:43. I was the only one on the road and/or sidewalks. Whoosh!

On the pool deck at 5:42, in the water at 5:43

Work was a carbon copy of yesterday: calm, organized, easy breezy. I had enough time to draw today’s and and a few of tomorrow’s BrewTime© Post-Its.

I’m enjoying this week’s 10 Minute Artist with Adam Ming - Drawing Birds; 4 & 5 are below. On the left is a Jackdaw (thanks RH for the inspiration) and on the right is the extinct Ivory-billed Woodpecker.

Jim and I rode to the pool mid-afternoon for swim #2 for me and his daily. The water was great, the pool was humming with at least 1 swimmer per lane.

I had some fun thinking about Texas shade as we hurl into triple digit temps and the shade is always welcomed.
