It was about 12 degrees when I got up this morning (-11 C), but it got all the way up to 19! (-7.2 C) So a good day to stay inside. We have heard only a few shots from hunters, so maybe the deer decided to stay in today as well. Tonight it may get down to 1 degree (-17.2 C).
Being stuck in the house, Tom worked on his latest painting for a while. He says it will be a whimsical Noah's ark. It's totally unlike his other things, and I am waiting to see what he does with it.I think he is just being playful to get back into the flow of painting now that he has a studio with room to play. Here is what it looks like at this point --notice no animals yet!
Sundance is quite intrigued by it. In the photo it is on an easel, but Tom did much of the work with it laid out on the game table. Sundance kept jumping up onto the table, examining the painting, trying to walk on it and get her pawprints all over it. She is having a rambunctious day. We think it is dawning on the cats that winter is here and they are going to be bored for the next several months. It seems to catch them by surprise every year. Cassidy is happier to just lie around doing nothing, but she would prefer to lie around out on the deck in the sun. It takes her a while to catch onto the fact that winter sun does not equal a warm deck.
While Tom painted and fended off the cat, I puttered with the printout of the novel. At the moment (3:30 in the p.m.) I have about a quarter of the revisions done and entered into the computer. So the word count is up slightly, at 61021.
Thought for the day: Things are not as they seem. Nor are they otherwise.
Discuss among yourselves.

You just never know, do you? Nothing is ever written in stone. Changes abound.
