Idle Day

Took advantage of “the injury” to take the day off from the logging project, and besides, it was time to take a trip into town, after all, it had been nine days since I’d been out of the neighborhood. After such a time, there is a unique sensation to driving; it seems so fast and smooth after walking everywhere for over a week. It is also nice to get out and see the view from the valley and see how the mountains were socked in with snow clouds. The supply run was quite modest, various types of rice and tea from the natural food store, some fresh vegetables from the market, and the luxury of a couple new Carhart t-shirts from the farm supply store.
After that, it was a day to idle by, so took the Barley dog for a walk around the lake and to clean up the ski-trails. It turned out to be very windy, but no rain or snow, and the sun was out in long blue segments.
After an idle day like that, I always feel refreshed, so spent the evening in the studio making new and interesting discoveries.
