This blog began as a daily painting blog but as life changes, so does a blog. It has become a journal of a writer who paints and enthusiastically works outdoors to maintain fitness.

It was another two glorious hours spent in the woods this morning! I've been working in roughly the same part of the woods for the last two weeks. There are so many trees down from either natural falls or cuts. It provides a great workout.

An owl hooted from the far corner of the land when I went out. I saw wood chips beneath a large tree but no tracks and realized a woodpecker had been foraging for food. The rabbits, squirrels and deer have been very busy leaving tracks in the 3-4 inches of snow.

My difficulty of the day was that both chainsaws' chains came off several times. The good part is that I've become proficient at putting them back on out there in the woods.
