He was in quite the predicament. Inevitably the sphere below his webbed foot would begin to wobble. His spindly legs would respond with a shake and clatter like stilts maneuvered by a want-to-be circus performer.

It seems to me deciduous trees should be classified with the bears and rodents as hibernators. They sleep away their winter days, ignoring cold, biting weather. Alive and working, but not planning to prove it much until spring rolls around. As the sun lingers longer in an April sky, branches bud and blossom, awakening to the warmth.

There are those days when everything you attempt to do seems much more complicated than need be. Phone calls take longer, predicaments that seem as though they should be so simple drag on for hours and hours.

By the time last night rolled around, though, I wanted to draw something that reflected what our day should have looked like. Simple, nice, easy.
