Went to see the movie JACK AND JILL. I don't recommend it. However the eleven year old boy laughed at all the farts and stumbling. I laughted too but somewhat more self consciously.

Spent the morning with the Plein Air writing group at Pino's Italian cafe. We talked,wrote and read to each other. the temporary Ice Skating ring was just opening as we left.

the morning started cold and then the sun warmed us up.

It is cold outside and this drafty house does not hold any heat. I have a fire in the fireplace and the heater on. couldn't find anything on the TV so the house is quiet.

Took a nap this afternoon. I wonder if I will sleep tonight.

Sc9ott and I watched the movie Fargo on
TV tonight. Now I want to lock all my doors. It is such a perfect winter movie. It hasn't aged at all. Such beautiful scenes of snow.

Last night it was so cold here in Monterey that I had to get up and get another blanket for my bed. Tonight I will be prepared.

I can't find anything good on TV to distract myself. I have a fire going, the house is heating up. A dog is barking outside. Guess I will settle in with a good book. Maybe the dog will stop barking.

Oh yes the mouse trap is set again to night in an attempt to catch it. the trap has been set for weeks. Soon we will be lucky.

Went to see the DESCENDENTS at the Osio tonight. I liked the movie a lot. Downtown was hoping with cowboys. It's cowboy poetry festival this weekend. A crowd of young men were holding up signs in front of Well Fargo for Occupy Monterey. Lively town.

I see a lot of fresh piles of dirt in the front year. The gophers are digging in. I'm thinking they will eat the weeds and leave the real plants alone. But maybe I am wrong.

I have one little seedling that I am protecting. If it survives it will be a massive oak tree and will shade my skylight form the summer sun.

I planted the acorn two years ago and now it is about ten inches tall. I can only hope.
