Monday, May 4th....back in business. Cloudy and 55 degrees here in Maine.


 Lots of Floral Images here on the "net" this morning.  My daffodils have gone by as they say and need dead heading.....now I did go out and do that last Spring...but not feeling like I want to this Spring.  I imagine that is the numerical activity difference between 79 and 80 years of age.

The Narrowing of the Limits of Age.  Perhaps the new subtitle of this Blog????

I stumbled upon a blog writer that was a daily addition to my computer usage quite awhile ago...and there she was...I read her very very long post and did NOT add her to my list.  Been there ...done that....wasn't going to be able to follow any of her leads..... sigh.  "A Way to Garden"

Son and I made Sunday Pizza yesterday- as fantastic as usual.....we also tucked my two sweet potatoes in the hot oven....I get all sorts of good things from the bright orange insides of the potatoes.  They are also a nice container for melting Swiss cheese.  Some Vintage CSI: Miami completed the day.

I've lost this post twice now and had trouble getting back here....so I think I might stop while I am ahead so to speak.   No idea how I will spend today....but reading seems to be uppermost... I never did read ANYTHING yesterday......I was mending the elbow of my old sweater and then noticed the cuff on my right sleeve was dangling...so that needed repair.  Which involved looking for the small piece of black wool I use as backing to the embroidery floss.  One can loose ones self in the Sewing Room...So much  to sort thru....in the end...black wool was right next to my couch.  Where I used it last.  The sleeve cuff of my sweater is now heavily reinforced.  Ready for another Winter....NOW to search for the remainder of that black wool sweater........

I have on a faded blue work shirt....not a Lactiva Dye Works one...just an old stained one...from some store that no longer exists.....one or two I held back so they retain- their color (blue)- and are still in "clean" condition... the others are all worn, faded almost white blue, stained and patched and soft...not threadbare as yet.... but...I might need to add a sweater.....it's gotten colder as I sat here typing.. 

Well, I need wool socks and a sweater.....even in May--Maine is cold.

Well, you are cooler than we are today. We are experiencing a HEATWAVE.
I simply have no desire to go do yard work, so thankfully the gardening bug has bitten Bri.
