Daily Notes- November Twelve


Image from lottahellenberg.com

Reminded me strongly of the many different ways I drew pomegranates one winter.  The artist here was trying different mediums and papers as I did with my drawings.  I am going out later to the library to return unread books and will stop at the grocery to get a pom or two. I like eating the seeds.

I have washed and dried avocado pits ready to go in the freezer until I decide to use them to color cloth.  I never found a source of black walnuts so no dye pot of those going here.  I see on the internet pots of walnuts and pom skins simmering on wood stoves.  Ready for cloth to be dipped and dyed.

Drinking lots of hot tea.  Watching lots of movies on Hallmark--I suggest myself as "continuity assistant" during filming and editing.  From one shot to another G and I watch as items move about the tables, desks etc.  Drink levels go up and down.  Scarves are wrapped around necks differently and the one that makes me craziest--men's ties not all the way up. Or up and then down.  At business meetings, weddings (groom) etc.  How hard is it for someone to just get the tie up to the neck? Just have someone shout--"tie" and get the guys to do it themselves.  Not doing it makes them look so sloppy in a smart metro sexual very tight suit. Of course none of the men shave. And the women all use that hot curling iron.  Ringlets on everyone.  Even long loopy ringlets.

When I start noticing these things-- Hallmark interest is expiring.

And G is shouting in happiness.  He does not like Hallmark Movies.

So, rest time is over--I am going back to my task for the day.  Vacuuming floors and carpets. Washing baseboards and window sills.  I already finished all the kitchen cabinets and their many, many layers of edges.  Oh, how I detest them.  Is 12:35 too early for a gin and tonic?

  1. By all means, it is not too early. At least you can clean. I am now living in a home built in the 1700's with layers and layers of dust. A no win situation for me so I don't even try deep cleaning. Surface it all it gets and even that's a little sketchy. ;)

  2. No, not too early! You aren't working at the greenhouse this winter. You can drink whenever you want!

  3. I am considering a Cosmo. I think I had one once on some girl's night out. I think I liked it.
