Daily Notes on Friday February 14th.... Cold, Sunshine, Snow Plowing.......


 For You ...from Me.    Happy Valentine's Day.

Sigh..Snow and more Snow...... if I wasn't aware of my adult son knowing lots of swear words- I know now.   The California Man has a continuous relationship with the Snow Blower and the Snow Shovel. And yesterday he ...well,  he wasn't a happy man.   The plow truck came and ruined his plan for the driveway NOT being ice covered..... this morning....and he needed to shovel out the entrance to the oil tank fill pipe. He also had to shovel out the generator and clean off the Propane tanks.

Okay, enough of that....the only color outside my windows is White.  The Bird Feeders are full and the birds are back- they had been missing for the last few days while it snowed.  Trails of tiny animal feet are on the surface of the fresh snow.

I watched PBS last night about the new Egyptian Burial places they are finding.  No Pyramids over the top.  Just a deep hole in the sand....

Son just dropped off the morning paper.....no 72 hour wait any more to buy a handgun here in Maine. Does it ever get any stupider????? Living in Maine????  But then the Police gave my husband an open carry permit........during the Trump Years.

So...Grocery Shopping later today....items for Soup making....I finished off my first Winter pot of soup and am now looking forward to making a second pot.

Jane by April Lindner arrived in yesterday's mail....a Valentine Gift from a dear friend.  She knows how to order things from Amazon....now I have four modern re-tellings of Jane Eyre.  I have YET to read the original.  I know.......so weird.  My son says I could learn how to order from Amazon....it's not that difficult.  He says.   

I am buying myself a bouquet of flowers today at the grocery store.  And Jelly Doughnuts if they have any.  I am also dropping off books and selecting new ones today.  I finished "The Last Thing He Told Me" by Laura Dave late last night...  I will see if I can find her first book at the library today. Eight Hundred Grapes.

I did neither- no flowers and never remembered to look for jelly donuts.

Happy Valentine's Day, Joanne! (Valentine's Days really aren't what they used to be, are they?)
