It was a sweet Friday morning, softened by a moody sunrise. I was up early enough to catch the light I wanted. This morning, I will pick up my new post-cataract glasses for computer use. Otherwise, I don’t need glasses at all. The surgery was well worth it. I’m very happy with the results.

Zip up in the apple tree, we often meet there in the morning when go out.

David Weeks, who brought us some second-cut hay, gave Zip his fourth warm spot for the winter; he made a hole for him in the rich and newly cut hay. Barn Cats love holes like that, the warmth of their bodies and of the hay is perfect for them, warm in any kind of weather. He has some good choices, we’ll see where he lands.
