Daily Notes- January 27th. Thursday...wow Still very COLD

 I chose this image for the colors.  There were many of this type of image to select from.  I liked the black and white also.  And that the stockings and shoes were also painted.  Here's another idea that I had about a quilt.  Painting the fabric as one whole and then quilting it.  I did this on small pieces. It was fun.  Most were sold or given as gifts.

Today is brilliantly BRIGHT outdoors.  Sun reflecting on SNOW.  BLINDING.

The numbers of unvaccinated Mainers in hospitals and morgues grows each day.  Unvaccinated. Sigh. It's almost like suicide. Only it takes so long and the ventilator is horrible.  And who pays???? I mean it's expensive to be in the ICU for days and even weeks.  I can contemplate insurance companies refusing to pay hospital bills.  As it was a "personal choice" to not be vaccinated.  And for those with no insurance?

So...library email today.  More books.  Books I want to read.  So we'll make another voyage in the car to the Library after husband finishes all his puzzles.  The Word Search and the Jumble.  I helped with the one from yesterday.  The single jumbles are fine- but the one that has a silly word clue that uses the letters from the four single jumbles...... isn't.

We had cheesecake (finally) for dessert last night.  It was delicious.  Husband had candy sprinkles on top of his slice.  And whipped cream.

My VERY HEAVILY mended sweater has more threadbare holes showing up- next to the mending. So I need to do some additional work.  Susan sent me a link to a Mending Blog.  And it was a delight as some of the clothing shown was ENTIRELY mending.  Laughing over here.  Jeans with not one speck of denim showing.  I LOVED it.  Which reminds me- Daughter's gardening pants need a third application of patching on the knees. Annual Mending.  The pants themselves ..are heavily painted. Like mother, like daughter.
