Good morning. Easily and willingly distracted, that's me! Is this chair by the window taken? I love seeing out into the yard.

Kooger, sorry you are having a rough time but glad you are pulling out of it. Yum, cinnamon bread! I'll be back for a taste.

Meezers, don't you just kick yourself when you throw something out and then find the perfect use for it? I have a shed full of stuff, so full I can hardly walk in there. I need to get it organized but when the day only warms up to near freezing it is hard to be motivated. Who knows what I might find in there that I've been needing? Maybe if I tackled one corner at a time..... well, not today or tomorrow, and I will be gone this weekend, and that's why my shed has become such a mess.

This morning I downloaded some photos I have taken recently, some of the ones with the most potential didn't turn out. Last night I took moonlight on snow pictures, about a dozen or so of them, and they all came out black. The camera was set on the twilight setting, no lens cover. I did get a couple a few days ago of the moon just above the horizon, taken when the sun was still lighting up the sky although it had already gone behind the mountains, so I can show you that. What I wanted to capture was the effect of the full moon on the snow, it looks almost florescent and unreal. My sister and I used to go out and play on nights like that, our parents didn't know we weren't asleep. We were just grade schoolers, but would go out our upstairs bedroom window, tiptoe across the porch roof and climb down on to a high fence, climb down that and go play in the snow, sometimes a long way from home, then get back into the room via the fence and the roof. Later we lived in a single story house and that made our escapades easier.

Time to get my horses fed and get busy on the house cleaning and laundry. See you later. Save me some cinnamon bread!
