today I brought my camera with me
on my walk with Hoagy...

prayer flags protect our property
my winter garden
Today it is cold and sunny. Good!Hoagy and I walked for an hour after breakfast. I sat this morning and did my chants so I'm good for two out of three and I will write today. I love the sun - I've missed it so. Ron says it has been here - he knows because he is working outside and is completely tuned to the weather but I must have missed it. It seems to make the most enormous difference in my day - my mood. I feel clear and optimistic today - things seem do-able that yesterday seemed difficult. And there are two black cap chickadees at my office window feeder! Hurrah - it took them five days to find it. My home entertainment centre.
Today, I'm going to work on Earth Bound. Instead of all my fussing I am just going to go to the last piece I wrote and work to the next bit. I'll save all that fussing for when I do my revision proper. I'll work from beat to beat and see where I get to.

I love your winter garden. You have truly been successful at growing snow. I agree with you on the sun. I need the sun, even when I'm inside.

Those are beautiful pictures, Jan. Our Northern Colorado day is sunny today, which lifts my mood a bunch. Because of our elevation, the sun is warm enough to walk outside in a sweatshirt instead of a coat, even with all this snow still on the ground
Lovely pics, lady! I enjoyed taking a virtual walk with you. :) Happy writing!
My mood and energy level are linked to sun. On dreary days, I just want to hibernate. We've had a cold snap in South Florida, but nothing like what is shown in those photos. Brrrr.
So you get sun today and I get clouds. I enjoyed the photos, so beautiful. Bird watching always lifts my mood.
HOagy loks happy with himself.
Do you just MAKE youself write?
I am getting into an art routine that seems to be helping.
Helen - yes, I grow snow!. The sun is essential to my mental health. And it can be just the light coming in through the windows. Though being out in it was wonderful.
Patricia - I lived in Colorado when I was a girl - in the springs. I remember the crisp thin air. I spent three months there in 92 as well - Buddhist Bible Camp in northern Colorado. I love Colorado...
Stacy -any time! crunching along feeling the rays - it's grand isn't it?
Jane - ah, Florida. I was there just before Christmas last year - in Naples. Me and one Russian guy were the only ones that went in the water! I love the birds there so much.
Elizabeth - yep the little tweets do me such good. Chickadees appear to be so cheerful - why is that I wonder?
Denise - Yes, Hoagy is delighted to get out in any weather! I guess I just make myself write - I want to though so it isn't like making myself do my taxes! Discipline is joy - it really is.
Beautiful photos! I stumbled upon your blog and left inspired. Nice post!
Thanks Jason! Come back anytime. I enjoy writing my posts and love taking pictures. And I really like connecting with folks from all over the place!
