Daily Notes for Thursday July 9th.... Sunshine and. 82 degrees outside. 67 degrees inside. No AC

I seem to have collected a number of images of colored pencils.  I have a deep respect for colored pencils. They can make a plain boring day turn into a very very exciting day....and I actually enjoy even the sharpening of pencils.    With my European Pencil Sharpener.

I  should investigate an address.... for the best one here in Maine (long drive and so much traffic etc)....and if I am completely honest with you...I have a cupboard filled with "yet to be used" art supplies....and three large soda cups full of colored pencils...  I don't need MORE....I just need to set aside a portion of each day- 30 minutes---and start in on something... 

Shop the closets for Art Supplies..... we even found some in the Attic last winter when daughter was dragging packing boxes downstairs.

I think that will be my Birthday Resolution (in September) for the coming year.  30 Minutes.. each day.  I'll set a timer.  Still can't recall the author or title of the book I want to read.... woman who organizes garage sales, has crying baby to care for and a guy who leaves in a Black Charger... I think the guy who holds the baby and lives on the corner of the street is a lawyer. 

The sun is shining and it's now 83 degrees.  By the time I hit print on this post we'll see how much hotter it gets.  (84 a second ago).  

Read an all time favorite Crusie Book yesterday...... Anyone But You.   I think Bet Me by same author is next up.   I need to OWN a copy of Anyone But You.  Bet Me is a great book.  And has 400 pages. And is in MY BOOKCASE.  Money in the bank....  

That same bird has been flying over to the window and pecking the glass....  I filled the water containers outside in front to the house  for the birds.....they like the shallow dish under the Weeping Cherry Tree best.  Shady.  They take baths there- splashing about which means I need to refill the shallow dish many times.  Reminding me of the in injured Puffin splashing about in a bowl in the Little Beach Street Bakery book.

France is playing Soccer today...I am watching them play Soccer today.
