Field Notes- Thursday, June 22nd. Sunshine........

 Carrie Fell I think.  

I filled the outdoor decorative annual containers yesterday.  Husband wanted to make it a "thing" by dragging the full garbage can of sifted "soil" to each container..........geez.   I just filled up a small plastic pail as many times as needed and left the garbage can in the garage.  He will do ANYTHING to NOT have to walk... more than once in any direction.  I may add Annuals today.  Or not.  Depending on heat index.  Transplanting on a hot day...wilting.  Late afternoon is Mosquito Time.  So, not then......

Walking is actually beneficial to his back.  But will he listen (and remember) NO. Will he do his back exercises?  No. Will he slouch in every seat he sits in? YES.  His back is so curved now ... his head points in the direction he is walking.

I have not had a moment to start a load of dirty laundry.   Not one moment. (wink)

Tennis yesterday wasn't worth watching.  MSNBC left me...wanting to watch Tennis.

Daughter called to ask me to correct the lawn mowing saga..  SHE suggested he NOT mow the lawn for US.   He being one of her co-workers.  He works on the weekends cutting grass for the company she works for......I have nothing more to say about any of this..... You will not see any references to my lawn ever again...... count on it.  

It's beginning to heat up here in Maine.  No longer in wool socks and corduroy pants with thermal shirt under my work shirt.   Now...no socks, wrecked old LLBean ¾ knit pants, short sleeve white v-neck tee. The pants got wrecked in the fenced garden when they got hooked up on the wire fencing........ the v-neck tees are the ones with spots and stains that won't come out......the really clean white ones- not many- I wear for "dress up" until I start wearing the short sleeved linen Camp Shirts solo.  Box shaped.  With short sleeves that look like TABs coming off the top and sides.  Best shirts EVER.  New ones have darts..... and are crap.

Re reading Nora Goes Off Script.  Will be reading it several more times......already missing the Boyfriend Candidate.  I have a few others on the pile...... and two waiting. And a full bookcase of Favorite Books. so..Don't cry for me......it's just that I liked the Boyfriend Candidate so very very much....but Nora Goes Off Script is a very close second.......as is Second First Impressions (in bookcase),
