Daily Notes- Chance of Everything in Today's Weather.- Rain, Humidity, Heat plus POLLEN..

 Reading this book.  It's centered on MATH.  Which- in some other lifetime I must have understood because even though I can balance a checkbook and used to do our taxes by hand- with an adding machine- I don't understand quantum physics or string theory or Chaos Theory..  Or just about anything else.  In this book. But I am trying my best to not sink and continue to float ( I can't swim).

I am still reading.  I am going to go to the end.  There is a murder mystery here.

The table has arrived and is on the coast of Maine a 20 minute drive from where I live.  It's in a garage. Too heavy and too wide for my friend's car.  We'll go get it in the Jeep or in the trailer pulled by the Jeep. It is solid mahogany.  Heavy.  And I had to check the spelling.  Needs repairs- eventually. 

So.

The POLLEN is everywhere-  It rained over night and across the street it has washed down the driveway and swirled into eddies of yellow pollen.  I don't do well with pollen.  So better it be on the driveway than in the air.  And the overnight rain has increased the humidity.  It's ICK!!!  Grass needs cutting.  Ignore.

I have two containers of marigolds left to transplant into the fenced garden.  Across the path from the herb beds as pollinator bait.  And I have thyme to transplant into one of the herb beds with a few orphan pansies. Then I am done.   No garden boxes on the driveway.  I have no tomato seedlings.  I will buy grocery tomatoes and let them warm up in the vestibule until they are ready to be eaten.  My grocery has the really nice heirloom ones for sale.  In many delightful colors and shapes.  They hardly ever have the good pickling cucumbers so homemade pickles will most likely not be happening. I could visit the local Farmer's Markets.  Pay $10 for 4 cucumbers.  This is Maine.  Everything is expensive.  

Not that it matters-  My husband has stopped eating the grilled sandwiches.  I tried transitioning him to an old favorite- roll ups of very thin Swiss, ham and turkey. No.  He is napping two or three times a day.  He is coloring in his books.  Not reading.  On the iPhone the rest of the time scrolling thru...nonsense.  This behavior really does affect brain activity.  He has less each day.
