Daily Notes for Thursday October First. Sunshine here in Maine. 64 degrees

 We may have had this image before but I like it.. makes me smile...and that's a very good thing.

The Lawn guys showed up yesterday and mowed, edged and used the blower to remove any grass and leaves off the driveway and sidewalks and even the front porch.  Possibly some of the acorns as well. They have great attention to detail. Daughter will be starting work on the landscaping some time this month....rather than start in on more Attic Boxes right away... ease into it.

Son replaced a light bulb which was flickering in a very scary HORROR MOVIE way....new tech bulb he explained.  An older model would have just stopped lighting up. New ones flash to say  "get a new bulb".Exchanged it for a new out of package one identical to it.  I'm an old tech woman in a new tech world, I guess.

My hair, this morning' feels like it's 2 feet wide and scary as hell.  If anyone rings the doorbell they will turn and run when I open the door.

I put my new driver's license in my wallet...this morning.. checked twice.to see if it was the new one. I look exactly like I did three years ago.  Same soccer hair and everything.  Surprised Me.

Today was "replace the old desk calendar" with the new page for October.  October is usually when I start making Vegetable Soup.   It's an easy meal....I started making it years ago.... comfort food.   Back then I needed any sort of comfort I could get.    

I'm hoping Storage Wars is on today.... it's mindless entertainment and it's what I want right now...  I have books to read but that seems like more work than I want right now.....

Daily Notes for Wednesday, September 30th. Clouds here in Maine. 61 and 85% humidity.

 

Images of Winter Vegetables today.  Storage Vegetables.  Soup Vegetables.

Well, my brand new Driver's License showed up in the mail yesterday...  I had my hair pulled back Soccer Style...little top knot.  The WILD WIDE So very White look wasn't what I wanted for the next 4 years.  I save that look for in the house...... or answering the door when people knock...scary...it's a very scary look. Crazy Old Woman Look.

My son wanted me to have the license...not to EVER DRIVE but to have for Identification.  So now I can be Identified..... I guess.  Library Card isn't really an ID.

It's sort of dark, cloudy and damp here in Maine.  The grass continues to recover its green color. The lawn guys haven't been around in..it feels like ...a very long time.  They could come mow the acorns off the lawn????   That would be okay with me.

I'm going to spend the day reading and possibly closing my eyes and even sleeping a bit.  Or just listening to the silence in the house.  The house has really gotten quiet the past few years.  Anyway..my book is waiting and the couch also.  Cloth has been begging for attention but I'm just not interested.  I walk past the projects.....and stop to look.. then keep walking.

As for SOUP?????   I'll let you know tomorrow.

Daily Notes for Tuesday September 29th. Rain overnight here in Maine....light rain.

 Tortellini Soup.   A New Addition to my every week vegetable soup as we edge toward Winter? I think it would add 'bulk" to have tortellini in the mix and fill me up......

I have the House Lights on....we had rain overnight....things look damp outdoors and the birdbaths are full of water.  Even the one out back..... the lamp behind me started flashing like it was having a stroke or something,,,,none of the other lamps were affected.  I turned it off.  I will have the House Engineer take a look.  When I see him.

I read my book yesterday instead of watching tv.   This is something I will do more often...the TV I watch or can stand watching is really boring.  I watch ZERO news.  I read the paper in the morning and that's enough.  I still Try to do the Suduko and the Word Jumble....I'm not very good at either.

Tomorrow is the National Day for Truth in Canada.  Would be good to have something like that here ???

I got up to see if there was any tortellini in the freezer or pantry...NO

That's it for today....

Daily Notes for Monday September 28th....I'm up WAY too Early!!!!!

Maine is know for its blueberries....I used to have them in the back fenced garden...the birds ate half of them..I ate the other half...mostly in wonderful blueberry muffins.  The remainder mixed into my yogurt.

I had one bill to pay and walked the envelope down to the mailbox myself.  Navigating the acorns. We are going to have a horrendous Winter.....I don't recall the best way to get the acorns off the driveway and the lawn...husband used this awful loud blower thing... sweeping seems tedious. And where would I sweep them????  Into the street??????  Neighborhood would not be pleased. Rake seems tedious.  No squirrels or deer eating them. Hardly any wildlife.  And I sold the blower to one of daughter's friends so.....we'll have to sweep or rake. Or do nothing.

My money is on  ..Do Nothing.

Watched Football games yesterday...they weren't that good.  Then I watched something else but have forgotten what it was.  Some sort of crime thing.  I never did get to the book I had chosen.

I'm losing interest in just about everything..... even cloth. Even books. Even food...  I did see the ending of  Pretty Woman before moving to Storm Watch.....on the weather channel.  I think I'll watch the entire movie  today.  Well, fast forwarding thru the parts I don't like.  The creepy fat guy. From Seinfeld????

While I wait to see if we get POUNDED with rain today.  The Weather People....so much DRAMA.

Right now..couch and finding a helpful space for my neck....the heating pad for sure.  Tension is not my friend today.......and the guy is coming to service the Boiler in the crawlspace... and today was supposed to be Library Day.... next Monday will be fine for books.
