Not far away a fire burns

It is 8:40 PM. By my reckoning, very early. But I am too tired to do anything. Anything but sit here on this reclining chair, 6 feet away from a warm fire burning in the woodstove, with Jim, the good black cat taking a nap on my lap.•

*I apologize for the long delay in which text sat here alone with no picture. I could have remedied this an hour-and-a-half ago, if I had but nudged Jim off my lap, removed the warm blanket from my body, got up from the recliner, come out here to my office and repaired the damage Squarespace had done to this post. But I couldn't make myself do that. I was too comfortable and so was Jim. Now I will go add the picture of Jim and Lynxton into the most recent post, which has been sitting picture empty for the same reason.
