I got so carried away with The Writing that I did not get enough decent images for you yesterday. Or at least I forgot to check to make sure I had enough shots. Which I did not. And then it was too late.
This is the only one worth looking at and Daisy is all foreshortened, with her rump blending with the sky, she looks more goose than cow and Queenie is disinterested. 
I was going to talk about the ecosystem of the barn, how it all works together, how the kittens bring just the right tone of pragmatic cuddly, but it was so dark all day, so dreary and no-one would hold still for their photographs in the barn, and then it started to rain. Well, more of a drizzle, to go with the dreary. Later the drizzle turned to slushy snowy rain. Not real snow though. None of that yet, thank goodness. Just wet and drippy.
So, I leave you with the Daily View.
Another cold morning.
And a story with 24,746 words. So far. I told you I worked well under pressure! Nanowrimo does introduce pressure.
Have a lovely, lovely day.

A very cute photo. none the less.
I am very behind. Only in the 3000s. There are days of 12 hour shifts in my future too. I do like having a goal though. You are right, pressure helps stimulate the mind.
A little bit a day, that is all you need to do, even just a few hundred words and you will get there.. c
I think it is impossible to do everything I want to in a day: writing/editing my book, blogging, cleaning, mothering…there are definitely days when some of those things just don’t get done! And it’s ok. Though, to be sure, the mothering part can’t relaly be set aside too well! No worries, Celi – you’re doing great!
keep up the good work on writing. it is amazing how far you are in your writing and still able to do it all at home!!! amazing!
Ah, the light. Zia and I were talking about it last night. I mentioned that over the weekend I cooked my dinners in mid-afternoon, hoping to catch some light for photos. All that I got were early suppers because the sky was too overcast for photos. I think I need a better plan.
Hope we see some sun today!
Rainy days are the best for writing.
Less can be more – that’s a very good cow shot 😉
Don’t tell the girls, but I just bought more pig cheeks!
Hi Celi, just wondering if Queenie has ever shown excitement about anything??? She always seems disinterested, no matter what thrilling things are happening around her!!! 🙂 Di
Queenie is a plodder, a very quiet plodder.. c
This will give you more time for your writing:D
Your green grass looks lovely. Sigh

Can you give us a hint? What’s your big story about????? Will we ever get to see it?
A big farm house, up high above a beach. If it works, I will begin to edit it january first, then we will see.. fingers crossed.. well not crossed because then it is hard to type! c
One of your photographs Celi, is worth a hundred of others. Bravo on the writing. Virginia
I wish I had Queenie’s eyelashes and her curly hair!! 🙂 Cinders…hold the shift key down and press the key after the L then same thing with the parenthesis key….. 🙂 or 😦 and if it’s really funny…..:)))))))))))))))
Ok I will practise! thank you.. c
Can’t believe you’re already having snow! It certainly turned from fall to winter there quickly. With all you do and writing a book, too, you certainly get a pass on the images! Have a good day! 🙂
Slushy snow.. hope it goes away again.. c
Yah! I see Big Dog is wearing his greatcoat; the two cows are very pretty. Going to be 70 soon! The temperature, I mean. Keep on truckin’ with those words, Ceci.
