Field Notes- February 2nd. Groundhog Day. 29 degrees @ noon.

Cherry Blossoms.  I prune my Crab Apple tree to look Japanese.   I would have loved to have a Cherry Tree but I think the Winters here would not suit the Trees' internal systems.

Next Life.

Not much happening here in Maine.  We seem to be Frozen Solid and inside the houses. Waiting for the HARD FREEZE to arrive.  Minus. And Single digits.

Did I write about my sweater mending?  It was intense.  And my eyes refused to focus after I finished- so it was too much. Not even Law and Order.  I just shut my eyes and rested.....

I looked for a book yesterday.  In the journal where I write things down- title, author and sentence to remind me of plot.  Because I like to read things again.....I did find the title of the Best Man who ran away. Runaway Groomsman.  Quinn.  Review of the book on Amazon was that it was slow, dragged along and slow.  I liked it.  and yes....it moved slowly.

I will be looking for the other book...with the bodyguard.  In Vancouver.  The Second grade teacher was a hot mess.  But I liked her.  Connie doesn't recall that one.

I will also be looking up a Quick Cheater's Cheesecake filling to layer into a boxed Brownie mix.  Fancy up the boxed Brownies....I have assorted canned goods on the counter for Soup Making (for me) and I have a load of wash to do.  I also found a small red cashmere sweater in the closet.  So the red button down sweater can get some needed work done.  MSNBC, lately has been too sad and depressing so I have stopped watching....I'll go back but not this week.

I'm tired.....really tired.  Nothing appeals to me.  I made an effort the past two days to actually feed myself a good late afternoon meal.  Meat Loaf, Mashed Potatoes and Broccoli.  Five minutes in the microwave. so that's it for me today.....a load of wash and some internet searches.... then a nap would be good.
