Chore Day, December 12, 2020: Yard work, Laundry, Vacuuming, and Cooking Flatbread

Doodling with Rebelle 3, while awaiting Rebelle 4

Today was a busy day, The yard work was especially arduous. I raked what seemed like tons of wet leaves. In our little town we have yard waste pickup every two weeks. Fair weather or foul, every second Saturday I hustle to fill the big green yard debris bin with the leaves that our arboreal friends dump in our yard. With the wet weather, the leaves seemed to be channeling heavy gravity. I struggled to drag the bin up the slope to the street.

In less weighty news, I made a fresh batch of purple sweet potato flatbread. I used oat flour instead of the usual buckwheat flour. Oats make for a smooth texture, and the buckwheat is gritty, which I prefer.

On the laundry front, I watched two episodes of Community. It’s a show that correctly depicts the people I met in my community college years, which were a thousand times more educational than my Big Prestigious College years.

When I wasn’t watching Community, I watched another video from Mark Carder. His Draw Mix Paint Youtube channel is a great oil painting resource. I’ll be working through his free oil painting course after I complete Isis Sousa’s course.
