I was thinking we were going to have a sky full of colorful clouds at sunset, but as the sun went down the clouds above the lines of clouds disappeared and most of the color was trapped under and between the lines of clouds.

Daddy Owl (left) and Mama Owl came together over me tonight.
The geese were really cranky this evening. They did take a break from cranking to do synchronized preening.

Late afternoon to sunset.

I left the office late this evening, so I had to do a drive-by of the clouds and contrails at sunset. While I was sitting behind a dually at the light, I noticed the Devil staring at me through the tailgate. He was using the holes my headlights made reflecting in the tailgate to see what was going on. Satin is a shifty little devil when it comes to shapes and reflections.
I was late because we replaced 55 fluorescent fixtures on our tenant’s side of the building with 55 LED fixtures. It was quite an undertaking, and I can feel rigor mortis settling in trying to stiffen up my joints. I’ll be contorted and stiff by morning like when Silver gets a case of Cater-Mortis.

What do you think of my changement battu?

Wasp? Did I hear you say Wasp in winter?
Tristan found this wasp with her wings tucked under her while we were setting up for Reyes. Tristan put the wasp in a container with some honey to see how long she will last. The wasp may be an old lady since she was found snuggled up by herself in one of our cushions on the deck.

Epiphany was on Thursday, but we celebrated this evening with Cocido Madrileño and Spanish chocolate outside with fires to keep us warm.
The morning sky was magnificent.
I started splitting wood for the fires this morning. Craig and Lane continued splitting wood when they came over in the afternoon.
Sunset was beautiful.
Fires kept us warm.
The clouds cleared and the stars showed brightly.

A love bite! Can’t tell?
All that red? Don’t look too well!
Messy bloody hell!
