Daily Notes- February 18th

                                               

Also from the website of stitches.  I made things like this once- with the teabag papers.  But they had little to no color.  This I think I would have enjoyed stitching.  Bee Creative had circles on her blog- like the rings of a tree as it grows.  She was saying her Life Circles would be thicker at times and thinner in others.  Which is giving me so much to think about today.  And how the two images would appear at or near the same Time as sort of a reminder.

So, today I am thinking of making circles.  But on a multi colored base.

G and I visited a different supermarket yesterday and walked around- looking.  There was a very long, tall wall of "spirits" as they are called now.  Hundreds and perhaps a thousand different brands and types sparkling under the beam of more lighting than in any of the other aisles (I checked).  I was overwhelmed and forgot completely that I had wanted a bottle of  Limocello in some months past.  To bake a tart.  Or to add to a margarita.

We purchased ice cream.  And, on an end cap- Generic Bran Flakes.  Any of you remember how much I loved eating Trader Joe's Bran Flakes for years and years and then they changed them.  Well, I got a box yesterday and had two bowls.  Not like the old Trader Joes.  But just so familiar.  The old flakes had been rough and thick.  These were thin. But the bran flavor was there.  This "other" grocery is often dirty, the produce in bad condition and the shelves are not well stocked.  But they did have the 1% variety of the milk I drink.  My grocery doesn't carry the one percent.  They didn't have the honey yogurt.  Noosa.  I might go back to buy that 1% milk.  Or not.

We are expecting rain or snow.  No sunshine.  No birds.  No squirrels.  Bad omens when it comes to weather here in Maine.
