Fifty degrees tomorrow, just about right for mid December in upside down world. We plan to pick the remainder of our lettuce and arugula and then pull the stakes out of the garden in preparation for the new year. We turned our outside faucets off for the winter and bring in some more firewood. The elephant ears are tucked away for the winter but I would like to cover the ceramic pots some they don’t collect water, freeze and crack. I’m making this list here so I don’t forget anything. The combination of perception and age is accelerating the pace as days and whole weeks fly by.

I particularly liked this Judy Gohringer painting in Rochester Contemporary’s Members show. My pick for best of show if anyone is asking. I love the construction. Its fun. It makes me feel like I’m riding in the car, in the front seat, not driving. The road is right in front of me and I’m just spacing out as we wind our way through the Adirondacks. And it makes the painting I entered look stuffy and formal.
