Daily Notes for Wednesday April 8th. Sunshine and Visible Grass here in Maine.

 Advertisement offering me these lovely flowers.  Deer Food here in Maine.

I haven't seen any of the deer outback as yet....last year the street behind me was being paved and the deer might have gone swimming over to the islands early.   In the early days of living here my backyard was full of black crows and a multitude of deer.  I live very very close to the ocean and the small islands where people spend the summer months.

Too much traffic now.  For deer.   The back acres are in desperate need of a major cleanup.  The fenced garden- left unused for quite a few years now- is a terrible MESS.  My late husband used to spend days back there slowly weeding...there was no hurry back then.......

I am happy to see the Sunshine again....Snow was an unwelcome guest yesterday.

Re-reading a favorite book yesterday.  Anyone But You.   Today I am looking forward to Met Her Match. In case the TV series I am watching gets dull and boring.  1177  on the TV dial always has something interesting and often icky ways for people to die..   I set a few educational PBS offerings to record.  And I have MANY Law and Order episodes waiting.  I watch and miss my dog.

Well, I need breakfast and an update on the NEWS.  Whatever happened while I was not watching. Interesting that MORE people got tax refunds....I did not.   I lost my visitor counter for the blog so have no idea if anyone is even reading these posts....perhaps I should just stop??????

Daily Notes for Tuesday, April 7th. A Still, Cloudy Day here in Maine.

 I've lost track of the carved wooden cats and dogs. Which ones have been here and which ones not.

The morning paper had images of the dark side of the Moon.  I wasn't watching the right channel when the images arrived on TV.  But the newspaper had a large photo.  Past visits were in 1969 and 1971..So I was correct in thinking I had been in the hospital with the delivery of one or the other of my babies watching them drop down to the surface of the Moon.  They aren't leaving the capsule this time.

The days all seem the same right now--is that how it is as we get really OLD?....

I have gathered my longish hair into a small knot at the base of my head and neck and secured it with a few pins.  It's escaping.  As it always has done. I skipped a morning shower again as I was a bit shaky this morning....not a good time to take a fall. Naked.  After breakfast is a better choice or mid afternoon.

CSI has been both disgusting and entertaining.  And I recall the episodes as I have watched them many times over the decades.....Riley and I.  Good times.  Same with Law and Order.  Old Friends.

Cross the street neighbors are back from a long vacation.  Lights on in the house last night.  Theirs is the only house I can actually SEE on this long dead end street.  All the others are too far away or blocked by lots of tall dark trees. Or.... on the bedroom side of the house with the blinds closed.

If Son asks if I am feeling ABLE to do the walk to the end of the street and back as yet...my reply would be No.  I have to work up to it again and not go far in the beginning in case I need to sit down.  And there are no places to sit down on my street.  I've considered carrying a folding chair....no..stop laughing.

Chair would have to have wheels- continue to stop laughing.

Daily Notes- Monday April 6th. Cloudy. 44 degrees..Cloudy with a chance of Sun- like right now.

 I'm trying to remember to slide the dog pictures into the trash can after using them here.  I like the west facing dog .  Quite a bit.  Reminds me of one of our dogs.  Rusty. A Red Lab.  He retired here from North Carolina. 

 Here in Maine we tilt a bit to warm and then back to cold. It is Maine...It COULD still snow. There are a few unmelted patches of snow out front.

Sunday pizza was excellent- we are trying a new pizza sauce- it was tasty....and after the pizza my two sweet potatoes entered the still very hot oven....I have the cheese I like to stuff into the reheated potatoes this week. (I remembered to buy it)... it melts and is stringy and gooey. Lovely with the soft baked sweet potato.

Yesterday I watched the Miami based CSI.  Usually I don't like it...but it was fine- no alligators..  AMC has a series I enjoyed once before so I set the TiVo to record all six episodes...clipping something else on the 6th episode.

 I found "Met Her Match" in the bookcase.  Hard cover and trade paper. (belt and. suspenders)  Looking forward to reading it after finishing Bad Luck Bridesmaid...I am half way.   We haven't gotten into the best parts of THAT book yet.  The "set up" for what happens next takes TIME.........almost Too Much Time. and then it simply slides into a crash landing. I am never quite sure it's a Happy Landing.  Depending on my mood when I read it- can go either way.

I may catch up on any "breaking news" I missed over the weekend.  Or I May Not.  We don't get a Monday newspaper so I just "don't know"....what's happened or did not happen. 

I know there is a recorded Soccer Match in case I need a Soccer Match..  

Daily Notes for Sunday April 5th. Raining... Hallmark has made a movie of one of my favorite books.....

 Happy Easter.....

I had to check the wall calendar to make sure of the date.And the Holiday.  I have Zero of these sweet nest treats here...I have zero Easter anything here. Sunday Pizza. After 4 pm.

Tried watching the Birding With Benefits Hallmark Movie (of a book I love reading)....just NO..... I can't even try imagining these two doing what the book characters did.  There were a lots of "benefits" in the book.  Quite a bit of serious unhappiness also.

The actress in the woman's part is one of those chirpy chatty people.  In EVERY HALLMARK MOVIE...same performance.....never changes.  The book's female character is depressed. Not one chirpy anything. Barely makes conversation.  I understand her. 

I am not in a "place" where I can read the book. 

So....what will I do instead of watching the Planned Hallmark Diversion????  READ????  Yesterday I sorted fabric scraps.....rock bottom here in Maine for activities.  

Well.....Library Items are close to being due.  A few reminders in the emails.  I can renew the ones I  am still thinking about reading,.....I have books.....I am considering Met Her Match..  It has its moments. I also am considering hand sewing a square together.  I have collections of fabric strips ready to go. 

I'll let you SEE what happens.... I hope it's not cold and wet where you are...It is here in Maine.
