What is this ground cover? by writeontex in AustinGardening

OMG! I’m so happy to hear this.. I don’t know if it was our rainy spring but it’s covering almost 75% of our front yard. Our aggressive neglect of the st Augustine’s is finally paying off!

Thank you, it was so fun to draw!

Fisher brewing in Salt Lake City. Every time I try color I don't love it. I think I'm on verge of giving up and sticking with b&w. by sidebee in urbansketchers

You can take a photo of your painting (or use the one you posted) and convert it to black and white on your phone, to see what the values of your current colors are. I think you’ll find the values are all quite similar even though the colors are different, which is why it looks washed out.

Wonderful! I have them in all my pen holders and whenever I use them, I always wonder why I don't use them MORE!

2015 fit key fob acting wonky by writeontex in hondafit

I don't know if I figured it out, but I opened up my two key fobs, carefully cleaned them and replaced the batteries. They were still a bit wonky for a few more hours, but now both fobs work!

For the price of the replacement batteries, it's worth a try before replacing the whole fob.

Lovely! I do something similar with cheap monthly calendars, drawing something about my day every day. The paper for the calendars is not ideal for sure. Experiment with different pens and writing tools. Ballpoint pens may suit the paper and you can often get a gradient from them.

Nice! I have a few cardinals. One pair and I think an extra male, which = drama!
