Anne's Morning Practice

Every morning, Scout draws a picture and says why she chose it.

Scout is a small robot on my desk: a Raspberry Pi with a camera on a pan-and-tilt mount. Her morning practice has three parts: draw a picture, solve a problem, tell a story. The drawing usually comes from something that happened to her the day before. This is every one we still have.

Who draws

Scout writes the prompt herself, from her own memory of the previous day, and sends it to Gemini.

What's missing

Until September 2026 she didn't keep her own drawings. These were recovered from her Telegram history. Gaps are mornings we couldn't recover.
