Good Morning on a Chilly but Sunny Saturday in Maine. Lots of March Snow.

Someday soon..when the snow melts.  IF the snow ever melts.

No Soccer today as we seem to be having BASKETBALL.  The High School Variety. Humbug.

I stayed up late (for me) reading but then decided I needed to sleep.   This morning I discovered I was up MUCH earlier than usual and could watch ALL the Food Channel Saturday Food Shows.  Not that I have an interest in cooking or baking anything.   Eating?  Yes.

A few emails this morning....one from my Master Gardener Pal....she actually is under the impression that I am driving my car.   No.  I am guessing I COULD drive the car if it was a desperate emergency... but that is the only way it might happen.

I have to keep reminding myself it is NOW MARCH.   I have a new fresh page of the desktop calendar to add images to....I have some flowers and a political cartoon of a guy saying since Musk has all our personal info now- this guy is going to let Musk do his taxes......

In BETTER NEWS.... my former neighbor Peggy gave us Amaryllis bulbs a year (possibly two) ago and they bloomed beautifully.  I kept them in their pots and watered them etc....just in case they wanted to bloom again.  And this morning as I cleaned up the plant table (by the south facing window) and watered things... I noticed tiny green shoots coming out of the center of the bulb.....leaf shoots.  Once a Gardener...Always a Gardener.

I need. to tell daughter to find a hard cover copy of Jude Deveraux's True Love....I am wearing my eyes  out.trying to read a small paperback with tiny print.....late into the night.  But the hunt might take awhile- months or even a year.....so I will continue reading after the food shows are over.

That's it from Maine.... Where everything is covered in snow and it feels really COLD. Even in the house.

 

Daily Notes for Saturday, March 1st. Son still chipping ice offf sidewalks.

Pile of scraps....mostly strips.  For that square making project that has gotten stalled.  Mainly because I can't find a "certain scrap" that I think would make a perfectly lovely square.  Virgo all the way.

Right now it's Soccer at 3 pm  (if available or one of the recorded games). Today is Saturday so it's PBS Cooking Shows (prior to Soccer at 3pm).  My son has taken pity on me and will upgrade my cable selection( if I say yes) so I can watch the Sports Talk Show I have enjoyed for years....  My Life is shrinking by the day.  I really did enjoy the Sports Talk Shows......nothing ever happened...they just talked.

I have a list of...something....really I made a list and now can't recall ---oh....info for the TAXES... Paperwork I need to dig out of the bill drawer.   Not today.  Too ditsy today.

Oil Delivery Yesterday- might have already mentioned it....also a shower this morning and conditioned my hair......Breakfast was Oatmeal and a Banana.  At times the Banana gives me Acid reflux.  Not today. I had homemade soup yesterday for dinner at 4 pm.....  I will have more today....at. 4 pm.

I'm going to stop typing as I am boring myself and I imagine boring all three of you still reading this blog. I try and imagine myself going back to coloring the circles my husband left unfinished.....I also imagine making more patchwork squares.......I even think about painting a small watercolor of an orange...

I pasted small squares of yellow paper over every image of He Who Shall Not Be Named in the newspaper this morning.  That's actually troublesome behavior even to ME.  I  enjoyed doing it. I think that makes it even more troublesome behavior.

Yesterday's book " Is She Really Going Out With Him?"  Sophie Cousens.  Strange title. Nothing to do with the book as the two characters never actually "dated" ..  I finished reading it but......massively needed a much better proofreading team.... the typos got annoying and the use of the wrong word......"much" instead of "make" etc. Characters just appearing and then disappearing. Also vast portions of the text could have been deleted. Replaced with better things.

I think I read it before the Mystery Proofreading Library Patron got her pencil on it.  So annoying.  I like to find the mistakes MYSELF....and leave them unmarked for the next person. To Find.
