Hanging Paintings On The Wall
Sunrise.
One of the most significant things I’ve done, besides playing with birds, Jake, and the cats, during my Christmas vacation, is that I picked up three large paintings from Tristan’s house and took them to the office. Laurie painted them years ago. I hung two 4X6 foot (122 X 183 cm) paintings in the open work area where there is a drop ceiling. I have hardware that allows me to hang the paintings from the ceiling rails. The two walls large enough for the 6X9 foot (183 X 274 cm) painting do not have drop ceilings. Therefore, once we decide where to hang the larger painting, I will have to use brackets to hang it. I put the large painting on the couch and shelf in the foyer, leaning on the wall we could hang it on, until we decide where we will hang it.
The 6X9-foot (183 X 274 cm) painting. The painting would be hung about a foot above the couch and shelf if we hang it on this wall. The ceiling is over 13 feet (4 meters) high in the foyer.

40 Hours

Jake put in 40 hours at the office this week. All the staff loved Jake; he got so much attention he was worn out by early afternoon today.

We remodeled the kitchen at the office this week. It all started Tuesday when I removed the cabinets in the storeroom so we could move the cabinets from the kitchen to the storeroom. Jake and I took out the lower cabinets in the kitchen and installed them in the storeroom, and then replaced the hot water shut-off in the kitchen. The new kitchen cabinets were installed on Wednesday. I installed a new, deeper sink and a new dishwasher. We have a new kitchen at the office.

Green Corner

🎶I rearranged my office and put up a Mac Museum!🎶 After a staff member retired, I was able to rearrange my office, gather up some of our old Macintosh computers along with other vintage Apple devices, and use the green corner where my desk used to be to make a little Mac Museum.
View of the green corner my desk used to be in. I used old aluminum case Mac Pros for the shelf supports. I also ordered a small conference table to fill out the open space in the middle of the office.
I removed a desk and shelves from this corner of my office, put my desk there, and hung photos on the walls.

Pre-Dawn Sky
I had to take a car in for repair and go to a meeting first thing this morning, so I had to photograph the balloons on my way out of the office. Our office building is close to the balloon field.
Dawn At Work
7:00 am (formerly known as 6:00 am) at the office. The sky was wild.
5:00 pm (formerly known as 4:00 pm) when I got home from work. The sky was wild.
6:20 pm (formerly known as 5:20 pm), the almost full March Moon, AKA Worm Moon, would have been rising over the mountains. No moon, but the sky was wild.

When I walked out to Fourth of July Point where I took the above photo, I didn’t see or hear D Wowl. On my way back I heard D Wowl hoot from one of his trees between the clearwater ditch and the irrigation ditch. I couldn’t see him in the darkness, so I called out “Where are you Daddy Owl?” He flew out of the tree and landed on a branch next to me. He didn’t say a word, simply posed. I told him that I had posted photos of him two nights in a row and that everyone was going to get tired of seeing him. I don’t think he believed me.
I continued walking north, and I made a side trip to Beaver Point. D Wowl flew to one of his favorite perches near Beaver Point as I walked by.
