Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is nearly 9:00 p.m. in "The City" where the current temperature per my DTWS and the NWS is 49°. However, with the 11 mph wind out of the south, it feels like 45° with fog returning to the area. Our overnight low tonight/early tomorrow morning will drop to 41° before we reach a high temperature tomorrow, Christmas Day, of 44°. But, the low-temperature tomorrow night will drop to a very chilly 29°.

The NWS has continued the Small Craft Advisory until 10:00 p.m. tonight from St. Joseph to Manistee, with winds blowing @ 10 - 20 knots and waves up to five feet.

The sun will rise tomorrow @ 8:14 a.m. and set later @ 5:14 p.m. We have crossed into the time of year when the days will continue to grow longer. 

We accomplished very little today. Mary and Ginger took a walk to the waterfront and STWD and I took a much shorter walk while they were gone. 

Once again, I didn't take any pictures, but Mary and Ginger had the Smart Phone camera along and took a few shots of the very calm channel.

The skies were overcast, but I think this shot turned out fine.

As did this pic.

A slightly different angle.

Mary has been happily stitching all day along with listening to her book. I am reading a new book that I am enjoying. 

Tomorrow, Mary will be hard at work in the vegan kitchen after the fur-children have had their morning out. Mary will once again be stitching along with her culinary efforts and I plan to continue my own reading.

We are watching one of our favorite movies, Love Actually, on the installment plan as we eat our meals. I'm not sure what I'll be doing tomorrow with the gray skies that make painting in my studio more difficult. I played my guitar early this morning and revised some music and I anticipate more of the same for tomorrow

That's all folks. Ciao.
