Daily Thoughts- Friday- March 12th

 The tipped over tin can filled with rainwater and acorns.  The acorns are charcoal black. When I put them into the can they were fresh and green.  I really love how this looks but I know it's a permanent stain and husband will not be pleased. Is not pleased.  The wet cloth from yesterday picked up some staining.  I wet it again and put the blackened acorns back into the rusty can and added snow.  51 degrees so the snow will melt. Slowly.

A regular "heat wave" at 51.  For Maine.  In March.  We still expect one additional snow event.  Easter is very early this year.  The grocery store has an abundance of multi colored plastic eggs for sale.  I could buy them and decorate the Peach Trees?

Finished my book. Usually, I read and then do other tasks and then come back and read again.  Not yesterday- for some reason no other tasks- except for the Daily Grilled Cheese- called to me.  Beckoned me away from the book.  My eyes today- are dry and fatigued.

My eye doctor appointment has been moved.  Another week to wait.  Now the 23rd.

After hitting publish I will remove myself to the couch and put lubricating drops in my eyes.  Meditate. I don't actually know how to meditate.  I just sit quietly and let things, thoughts drift in and out. Or I fall asleep.  Either way- it's a fine thing to do.

Books I ordered last night have arrived in my email box- so I will go pick them up at library.  For husband. He is getting frustrated with his coloring books.  He is over using his orange and brown pencils.  He brings the book over to me while I am reading and I point out a lack of focal point of color.  Of no contrast between darks and lights- only medium.  I ask and he nods and I get out my black ink pen and draw lines, dots or shapes on his pages.  I even gave him an eraser to remove some colors.  I have suggested taking the orange and brown pencils away from him.  I am guessing that he doesn't feel comfortable with sharp contrasts but is okay with me adding them.  I couch one negative comment within a bundle of positives.

I often start with- what is your favorite part of this page?  Your least favorite.  I am reminded of college art classes when professors said nothing...so helpful.
