This morning, yet another fabulous sunrise.
Roast Chicken
I made roast chicken last night. I don’t make this nearly often enough considering how much I like it and how easy it is. My recipe is simplicity itself: take out the inner bits of a whole chicken and put them down the disposal, rinse chicken with water, stuff which a peeled and quartered onion, put on the jelly roll pan, and bake in the oven for 350 degrees according to the poultry chart in my Good Housekeeping cookbook. A four pound chicken takes 1.5 to 1.75 hours to cook.
The onion keeps the chicken breast, my favorite part, from drying out. Jack and I are a good fit: he likes the dark meat and I like the white meat.
Chinook sunrise
Due to chinook wind conditions, we had a spectacularly beautiful sunrise two mornings ago.
Snow
I knew we had a chance of snow today, but didn’t expect to wake-up to near blizzard conditions. This photo was taken through the screened window of my office.
Tree
Jack was joking when he suggested we just use the top of the tree yesterday. Here is the decorated tree.

Building the kernal
Thurday night, Jack and I attended the meeting of the “Pikes Peak Linux Users Group”:http://www.pplug.org/ and listened to a presentation from someone who makes her living compiling kernels to test software drivers about how to build the Linux kernel. The instructions seemed pretty close to these from LinuxPlanet – Tutorials – How to Compile the Linux Kernel.

Moon and tree
Last night, I fed the horses in the dark, and was reminded on my way back to the house of this photo that I took last year.
