I woke up just after sunrise this morning and was too lazy to go out. Actually I did have to get something out of the car, and it was freezing, so I stayed inside for a couple more hours. I did go to the Goat Market when they opened and bought a couple of little things for Luke. Within five minutes of them opening the place was packed. I drove over to campus but the goats weren’t out. Back at the cottage I messed around on my phone for a bit before going next door to see Debbie. She was making candles for the market tomorrow, and I helped for a while by putting wicks in tea candles. We chatted for a long time while we worked. A few people came by the store, some from Nashville,and all were very friendly. I really admire Debbie for all of the passion and effort she is putting into her business.

After leaving there I made a sandwich then went to Lake O’Donnell for sunset. It was cold but pretty, and I took a number of pictures. Then I drove to the lake in the development across the street from the cottage and took some more. The sky was lovely. Now I’m just relaxing and sketching up plans for a little shack I want to build.
