Early Birds

I'm excited to be back in the work force, but boy am I tired. I just started working at Mississippi Market, a Food Co-op in St. Paul. I'm a produce person. It's great, handling produce all day, trying samples (yesterday we had a citrus taste test where we compared the 12 or so different oranges, grapefruits, mandarins, tangelos, etc.) , and getting a paycheck. The downside? The hours, 6-2. I guess these same hours are the upside since I can find time to work on the weekends and early mornings when Peter is at home so he can be the parent-in-charge. It's a bit of a shock to have the alarm go off - at all - but 5:00 am, that's like the middle of the night! So, I'm adjusting and still finding a little time to doodle, which brought about the sad looking, yet cute, spring birds. I made the sketch into a new blog banner and also made some adorable little pamphlet style notebooks for my shop.
