Mae Dibley wishes you all a happy Christmas. The cats, who declined the photo op, probably hoped we all received coal in our stockings.

Last day of #artadventcalendar and it has been an amazing journey. “Met” numerous artists of many genres. Tried sketching and photography. Some good, others in the eye of the beholder. Best? Gained a habit to use Alt Text. I started with one lit Advent candle. Today, four.

A good lesson on life. Notice it doesn’t say be vindictive or use name-calling. Should we send this to politicians?

Something new (for me) - sketch then applying a negative effect. Here’s today’s doodle. An experiment in minimalism and open space. Altered sketch in comments soon. #artadventcalendar #sketching #drawing #coffee

A five minute doodle during a break at the day gig. Whiteboard markers on 5x7 art board. Nothing fancy today. But it was fun to draw. #artadventcalendar #drawing #owls #birfsofbsky

Day 15 of #artadventcalendar. A cold winter can still produce this little wonder, found in the backyard (before temps dropped into the one-digit zone). #flowers #roses #photography

Today, it’s cold, it’s raining. Sleet and snow may be here soon. Yesterday, however, a goose posed quite nicely for me. #artadventcalendar #birdsofbsky #photography

It would be a crime against Christmas to leave mince pies out of the December #RecipeOfTheDay line-up, so here they are, my little Star-Topped Mince Pies, which have lightness and tang on their side, as well as that familiar, obligatory aromatic richness! www.nigella.com/recipes/star...
Star-Topped Mince Pies

Benefits of taking train to & from NYC: no driving on I-95 and plenty of time to read. Finished this one with time to spare. Great story. Love the dated references, i.e., written in ‘68, the story mentions how we are approaching instant communications via our phone network.📚⚡️#booksky

With an arctic blast and a bit of snow inbound today, I thought my photo from our walking trail would remind me of when temps exceeded 50 degrees F. #artadventcalendar

So… Found this page in a used book I just bought for $2.00. If I send the coupon with a couple of bucks to Bantam, do you think they’ll miss the expiration date? Love the 1975 #book prices!
