Daily Notes for Tuesday June 17th, Cloudy with perhaps some rain in the forecast????

A picture from my front porch yesterday...between the curved sidewalk and the post- a deer.  Eating weeds.  Or my plants.  Hard to say as there are so many weeds.  M. had cleared it all to the ground in anticipation of the mulch I had ordered......but the mulch never arrived... so the weeds set up housekeeping in the beds again......Not sure what the deer was eating but...nothing much there I would want to keep.

Flies and Deer..... 

1. to balance my day, I tugged all the bedding off my high poster bed and put it into the washer while I made and ate my oatmeal breakfast and read the newspaper.  It's all in the dryer now.  I can contemplating putting the newly washed sheets back on the bed OR folding them neatly and dragging something else out of the linen closet.  There is plenty to choose from in the linen closet.

2. Lunch yesterday was Vanilla yogurt, Bran Buds and strawberry rhubarb jam all mixed together into a lumpy delicious mess.   Dinner was toasted cheese sandwich with pickles and the package suggested portion of exactly 11 corn chips.  I don't think I covered the five building blocks of daily meals.  Not one vegetable and strawberry jam isn't considered "a fruit".

3.  It's fun matching my food to the suggested portion size on the containers of food.  I'll have that as the one thing that brought me joy.

4. My son informed me that the military parade went on as planned but the stands for the people were all empty.  Hardly anyone showed up.  Or not many showed up. And it rained on his parade????  I wasn't paying attention....seems like no one else was either.

5, The Daily Suduko was difficult this morning....I added it to the pile of other puzzles....all unfinished. 

6. the book for the day- unless I decide to try something else is. "Lost Souls at the Neptune Inn" by Betsy Carter......I read the last 10 pages in the previous book and was correct in NOT reading the book...The Other Side of Disappearing."   I do not recommend it.

7. the guy working on the front porch.......has not returned.  The Lawn Guy mentioned mulch- I mentioned weeds and declined the mulch.   Life in Maine....
