Things to Do While Your Husband Is Sleeping

We get up at 4:30 a.m. I feed the dogs and cats and then we take the dogs for a walk. This morning, Jim didn't wake up at 4:30. It's so seldom that either of us sleeps in that I tried to be very quiet and keep the dogs quiet so he could sleep a few minutes longer. I brought my moleskine sketchbook and paints out to the kitchen. If the dogs know I'm right there, they're less likely to wake Jim up. Because the sun wasn't up yet, I couldn't go out to paint in the yard. I ended up doing this little sketch of strawberries and blueberries. My blueberries look a little anemic, so I'll go back in and darken them.
