Daily Notes- Monday, November 10th. Cloudy 51 degrees and 99% humidity. It's been raining.

 Acorns.  None this year.  

1.   I've written a check for the one bill on my desk..... sorted out my checkbook-  double checking myself.

2.   I'll be finishing off my romance book.... and I am tempted to dig out a few other Sarah Adams books from the bookcase.  The motorcycle riding teacher??????  I do enjoy the Hermit and the country music star one also......

3.   I watched two Hallmark Christmas Movies....old favorites.  The Round and Round one is fun. The same day over and over and over again.  I also watched a really vintage one- Cowboy and Astronomer on a bus to New York City.  I liked the actor /cowboy.

4.   I smashed 8 flies in the living room....that time of year again.  Number eight this morning....asleep on the front window.  Or half dead,  I just wish I knew where they came from.....  my son says they are in the living room because I eat food in the living room.  If that was true the flies would be circling me and not the front window which is no where near me and my food crumbs.  And flies like blood...not cookies.

5.   I'm going to finish reading my book.....watch some Antiques Roadshow and heat up a bowl of soup in the afternoon.  And probably eat it while watching the recorded Soccer.  My cell phone is reminding me to take an umbrella with me if I go outside.  I am not going outside.

Daily Notes for Sunday, November 9th. Clouds, Dampness and 41 degrees here in Maine.

Winter seed planting.  Enlarge the image, print and save... AND get started with Winter Seed Sowing.

I taught classes on this process for most of the 10 years I worked at the Greenhouse.  It works and the resulting seedlings are very very STURDY.  Getting covered in snow does NOT bother them....

1.  I was talking to someone- at the Library--- A well liked former co-worker- and recalled ten years working at the Library and then ten more at the Greenhouse.  Customer Service...Talking all day.  And here I am at home talking to NO ONE  all day.  Well, I admit to talking to myself out loud when no one is around. Do you do that when you are alone??????  That co- worker is now over 100 years old.  Got her Library Science degree in her 80's.....  still working. Never too late to change lanes. Use your blinkers.

2.  Son has killed one large fat black fly and I have flattened a second one.  Just like the past two winters.. they get in here some how.  EIGHT last year.

3.  After the Soccer I could NOT find one decent thing to watch on tv. Old Law and Order  episodes are set to record sometime today or tonight. While I watch Football. And wait to make Pizza.

4.  The Computer Engineer did some changing around of things on my TV and TiVo. Interesting.  I haven't a clue how all this works but my desktop was also switched to fiber optics (???) when I got the new IMac.   Now my TV and Tivo.

5.  Reading a nice romance and the guy just changed the oil in the gal's car.  Yep...that would have won me over. 100%.

Daily Notes on a Chilly, Cloudy Saturday Morning in Maine- Nov 8th.

 Chocolate Pecan Pie. Yes, please.

We are nearing the end of Pie Week.  Unless I find some additional images on the Internet.

1.  English Soccer is on this afternoon...two games back to back.  Life is good.

2.  Yesterday's book- The Off Limits Rule by Sarah Adams.  I'm still reading it... there were things on tv that caused me to put the book dawn.  And today the Soccer...so I will try and get pages read before the soccer starts.

3.  One was outer space views of Earth...I love that stuff.

4.  The washing machine washed sweaters came out...marvelously clean, soft and the same size as when they went in....no shrink.... this old woman has learned something NEW.

5. Social Security is wanting me to view my 2026 account.......they do what they want to do...I have zero control so why look before I have to???? won't change anything.

6.  Son is trying to switch my internet provider to the Tivo... Already switched my computer when I got the new Mac.  I believe he was successful.

Daily Notes- Friday, November 7th. Mild Sunshine and 41 degrees.

 Titled Junk-Berry Pie.

I like the oozey filling.  And the vanilla ice cream.

1.   Things are moving FASTER around here....today is Library and Grocery Store...I have to work on the shopping list.  I need a new bag of frozen mixed vegetables for my next pot of soup; coffee creamer; I have two apples left from last week's shopping...wasn't in the mood for apples got three bananas.  Husband always liked seedless grapes....I like plums.  No Romaine lettuce...a recall?

2.   The large batch of books from "other libraries" ...not so great.  I might keep the ones I haven't tried for another week...just to see...and in case I don't find anything for this week.  

3.   I was just scouting my bookcase for what I might want to find to day at the Library.

4.  The Sun is shining....

5.  Addendum:  I forgot to pick up two books so Son offered to go back to the Library for them...while I followed daughter's rules and washed sweaters- husband's very. nice ones- cold gentle...my washer had cold and I used delicate.  They look wonderful.  I am going to do my own tomorrow- I have one on right now. Not wanting to take it off. Colder here in Maine. Today.
