Still Friday the 28th.... Another Pomegranate

 

Image only- (from a magazine) I bought this year's Pom Model for my collection of annual Christmas Pomegranate  drawings.  Some are painted...etc..., some with conte crayon....Some just colored pencils.. One or two are watercolors..It's a thing I do that is artistic and seasonal.   I'd love to do a woodcut but--the blood letting deters me.  I'd also like to make a Lino print.  Cut into a soft surface and then print.  The cutting tool is very very sharp........

In the days and weeks ahead you will get to see whatever drawing, painting or whatever I make......I have all of December.. And I have all the older ones.  Which could be used here...????  For December Post Art.

Son is making pie crust and we have to wait 2 hours before it's ready to roll out- "at least two hours". He made it last year and it was the most wonderful homemade pie crust.... ever.  Hydrated.

Daughter is adding 100 colored lights (each) to two large 48 inch wreaths....eventually three wreaths that size will be on my front porch to bedazzle the neighbors.  And assist planes landing at the Executive Airport next door. (hopefully joking).. The center wreath has its weight in light bulbs on it.  The side ones will have less??????

We were happy to have found a pre-roasted half turkey breast at the grocery store today...... 

We didn't get sent home with a plate of leftovers.....I did ask for the soup recipe...we had soup as a starter. It was very very good...  I am probably repeating myself so I will stop.

Daily Notes for Friday, November 28th. Cold and Damp this morning.

 no image.....I'm tired...it's cold and dark and I should still be in bed... asleep.

Cincinnati Won.  Burroughs is working on his anger issues for the turf toe.  Baltimore-- I usually enjoy watching them play but last night was awful.  The fans left the stadium before 4th quarter.  Previous to the game I watched a Hallmark Movie....but perhaps it was a movie that just SEEMED like Hallmark???? There was snow, a blind child and people falling out of a boat into the cold water... and the happy ending... Not much dialogue.  Lots of long stares.

We had a lovely Thanksgiving at our neighbor's house...two other neighborhood guests who were delightful.  The table conversation was a nice change for me- I had only one glass of wine.

We are doing some grocery shopping today.....and the Library visit to pick up and drop off books. Another quiet day...I am hoping for some British Soccer but.......

Well, cereal and the newspaper....we didn't get one yesterday...so today's will be packed with invites for shopping.   I need socks and oatmeal and a cup of hot coffee.....it's all downhill from now.....

Daily Notes on Thursday November 27th.....Sunshine here in Maine and 44 degrees

 Well, here it is finally.....the Big Day.......

Watched some British Soccer with daughter yesterday...she played soccer in college.... I think she even got a red card????  and I am guessing quite a few yellow ones.

Anyway.......I've had my oatmeal, there is no morning newspaper, I am NOT turning on the TV because I do not want to see ONE SPECK of NEWS. ......I have a book that I paused reading and should finish it.  Before starting something new.

I'll be ordering library books today.... but doubt any will be there on Friday...I have a few favorites to reread on Holidays.  No idea when we are walking over to the neighbors for dinner... but it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood....today.

Best Wishes to all of you reading this post- Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Daily Notes for Wednesday November 26th. Dark, Damp and Dismal.

 We have Gravy today.....as an image....why is there never enough gravy???????

1.  Cold chill on back of my neck the morning.... furnace is now starting up....

2.  Watched Law and Order yesterday and ignored Slow Burn- the book I am reading.

3.  I'm actually hungry and want to eat breakfast so this will be a very short post.  Three minutes that it takes the microwave to make oatmeal and another 2 minutes for it to "setup" and then I am hitting publish.

4.  Law and Order yesterday was NOT as good as I remember.....I will have to seriously consider Netflix..I refuse to go over to the dark side of the Big A....even though they have purchased everything available and have it ALL....right there- ready to go...

5.  Microwave is finished....you and I have only a few minutes left together....

6. Slept well on my freshly made bed....fluffy pillows etc.

7. The oatmeal is ready, sugared and surrounded by a pool of cold milk... have a lovely day... I will be watching Law and Order.....or reading Slow Burn.....I think the part I skipped is the Slow Burn part...

Daily Notes for Tuesday, November 25th. Dismal outside...and 43 degrees

 I don't have an image for you....

1.  Have the washing machine going- finally changed the sheets on my bed..was procrastinating ..OMG...looking for fresh sheets and pillow cases in the packed FULL linen closet....I had a NIGHTMARE thought that I had sent my own King sheets and pillow cases to Georgia.... by mistake.

2.  It took awhile to calm down and actually make the bed... the top sheet looks too small. The pillow cases were FINALLY found under so much stuff...the bed is made.  I wish I was a Drinking Person but I am actually worse- A Sweet Eating Person.  Or they are the same addictive persuasion?  anyway...I'd be eating.

3. Addiction runs in the family DNA.  Deeply embedded in the DNA.

4.  My only addiction besides candy and cookies is sleeping.  When things go sideways I climb into bed and try NOT to EVER get out.  I slept all day when we moved to Germany- after getting the kids off to school. All Day.  Then some nosey woman from Texas rang the doorbell for like 30 minutes and said- take a shower, get dressed we are going to lunch...she also mentioned her kids in the car being hungry and now very very cranky.  I showered, dressed, went to lunch and somehow got signed up for the next day's BOWLING League.  And, I was okay from then on...still cranky but awake and dressed. And NOT at home.  A few years later I was elected President of the American Women's Club.and my husband gifted me a Gucci Briefcase.

5.  It still feels like a MYSERY to me....how my Life evolved and then just stopped.. 

6.   I have an email and som says daughter is coming over to do something....no idea what...perhaps the False Indigo will get chopped down?????? or pulled out...  no idea.

7. Amazon allowed me to see the Romance Book Offerings again. Then cut me off but by then I had run thru what was interesting.   Four large index cards of author and titles.  December and January are covered.
