Daily Notes for Tuesday, January 27th. Sunshine and 18 degrees

 I actually colored two index cards.  Getting them to appear here on the screen took much longer than the coloring.

We got more snow overnight... It's Cold and Sunny.....Need sunglasses outside.

Water Main broke yesterday in Town and we had a few hours of wondering- I had a bucket or two of water in case we needed to "flush".   The heating system is "closed" so what ever was inside stayed warm and traveled around the house keeping us warm.

I watched a bit of TV and that wasn't the best use of my time or energy.....or nerves... Antiques Roadshow was okay but I went back to reading......there was a movie I had thought I might watch but realized I just did not have the mental "band width" for it. Either.

What we need in Washington DC is a HERO. Someone Brave and Strong and Intelligent.  I haven't seen anything like that.....the direct opposite?  Yes, Lots of that.   Well, I am going back to the couch. Read, Sew and watch Soccer....  Stay Safe?  I'm asking all of you to do that...or try your best.

Daily Notes on a Complete WHITE Morning in Maine.

 One narrow shoveled path to the front steps.......in case of needing a quick exit.  I can hear the snowblower idling...

I have oatmeal in the microwave and hot water heated for my one a day cup of coffee... I went to sleep last night with the entire state of Maine colored Ice Blue....heavy snow.   It measures well over two feet. But then I'm inside and it's outside.   My oatmeal is beeping.....I'm fine- I am hoping ALL of you are fine as well.

Monday After.......It's Snowblower Snow.....light, dry....lots of it. We can get the car out into the street.

 Overnight we had no idea what was coming into Maine.. The wet heavy ice or the dry stuff.  the weather channel had the weather coming in blue- ice.   I was reluctant to get out of bed.

Now I am working the odds on taking shower - before or after I eat.....blood pressure is tilting low so I think...breakfast first.  I'll be back later- the regular time to have a good chat here on the blog....Joanne.

Daily Notes- Still Sunday....Snow HAS NOT stopped falling but really COLD

 Never lost power- as yet 21:56 --- but the generator would have kicked in.  We made Sunday Pizza and watched the Patriots football game.   Wow.   Started with green grass and ended in a blizzard.

We have about 12 to 18 inches of snow- but the plow has dumped more at the end of the driveway.  Son is not a Happy Camper.  It's not the kind of snow that can be shoveled with 5 inches of ice on top of loose snow if it resembles what Washington DC has.   16 to 18 inches.

Maine is now being visited by all the snow you all in the south east experienced.  Heavy Snow in Boston. Just an hour or two south of me.  Snow is supposed to stop by TOMORROW NIGHT.

My son might be packing his suitcase upstairs?  No he'd never leave his sports car behind. And he certainly couldn't drive it anywhere.

The football was a. SURPRISE... we won.  Toward the end of the 4th we couldn't even see the players. And they started out with green grass.

Almost time for me to think about getting ready for bed...I just had a very nice sweet orange...and now I need some water.  BE safe.  

Daily Notes- Still standing. Sunday January 25th. Seven Degrees.

  Vintage Snow Drops and Vintage Amaryllis.   I can't throw anything away without giving it one more chance to shine.   Even on a very cold dark day here in Maine.  No sunshine here.

  I  watched some soccer yesterday....then gave up on the TV and finished Agnes and the Hitman.  Today, if the football lets me down- I will finish coloring my drawings .......and I will read Anyone But You for a second and perhaps third time.... I adore a great romance.  And today is Football Pizza Day... Gotta love that.

 The shower head in my shower is shooting water out the top....needs a repair...since daughter says she is my assistant- I'm going to see if she steps up and calls in professionals to fix the damned thing... until then- I'll let it spray toward the ceiling when I shower.  Which even I know is a VERY BAD THING.

Pizza Sunday....  

You know what...I am going to just stop typing...I am not in a good headspace this morning....and I am just going to put a stop to this and  Son says it's the internet messing with the left side margin.  Crap.

Daily Notes- Sunshine on a Saturday in January....SEVEN DEGREES with SUNSHINE.

 Maine...

Well, not much to write about- I could add a photo of my four lovely navel ORANGES....fruit of the week.  Sad....When "four oranges" is the most positive thing one can say.

I keep thinking about January 6th...Insurrection...I think it's time for another. With better results.

We have oil....we have sunshine... I have a good book and a soft couch... I spent yesterday and this morning with tears in my eyes.  They carried a less that 2 year old away from his family. Without a blanket to keep him warm.  Where is he now??????? Cold? Hungry? Alive?

I doubt I would have a fighting chance if they came pounding on my door.

Not the America I want.
