Daily notes for Thursday May 7th. Small amounts of sunshine but mostly cloudy...63 degrees

 Nice flowers. Anyone out there know their name???? I don't.

I got an email from somewhere saying "if your lawn greens up in the Spring" you do NOT need fertilizer. My lawn is exceptionally green. (way OVER fertilized)..  If some areas appear 'sluggish" feed them in the Fall.... not now.

I like this advice.  Also scoop finished compost from the bottom of the pile not the top.... I agree.

Been watching Season One of CSI: Vegas.   Good degree of CRINGE.  Clothing, Hair and Dialogue. 

British Soccer was very good... Arsenal. A favorite.  Huge thighs.  No clue who won.  Lots of yellow cards.

Oatmeal was very good- nice start to the day...first cup of English Tea. Also good.

I have not felt steady enough to go out back and pick up fallen branches...before the guys stop in to mow  the grass for the first time this year.  I don't want to be that old lady who has "fallen and I can't get up"..

My book, very close to the finish line is Linda Howard's Troublemaker.  I like this book very much.  At some point my Library will put in on the "Take Any Book Free" cart.... and I won't be able to read it anymore... the chance of me being around when it hits the free cart are slim to zero.  I might be the only person who checks it out......that should be a point in my favor?

I thought it was sunny enough to wear only a thermal shirt and a cotton work shirt. in the house.. I'm cold. I refuse to use up any of my almost $5 a gallon Heating Oil to get the heat up higher than 65.  I'll jog down to my room for my sweater.   I'll walk slowly befitting my AGE.

I am also WANTING  pan fried Pork Dumplings....An image of them arrived a few days ago in the feed...the image is right under these words....  they look so VERY DELICIOUS.  Nothing in MY freezer but I might check out the grocery store tomorrow.  My grocery is not known for a great Chinese Food Selection.  I also want ice cream.  I have to buy frozen yogurt......sigh.

It's pitiful to be me.  And my freezer is almost completely empty. Son tossed everything in there after reading "used by dates".  I said the dates were only a suggestion....
