Daily Notes- February 10th- 40 degrees but that means water on top of packed snow.


 Hellebore.  Winter Rose.  I have some growing in my south facing beds.  They bloom in May here in Maine. Ground is frozen solid now.  But not this color.  Which is divine.  Ancient looking.

Well....three chicken dinners in the fridge makes husband very nervous- so out we went to grocery and library (I had a book to pick up); five more chicken dinners, a few more yogurts and lo and behold- Quaker Oats.  The big box.  Which is great.  BUT.....I mixed the store brand oats and the Quaker this morning- half and half- and it was actually okay.  Edible.  Which is in the oatmeal ballpark.

I tried to watch Men's Curling yesterday starting at 5pm.  Four men on each side.  I liked mixed doubles way way better.  So much talking and yelling with the men and two guys brushing one stone......much ado about nothing.  And...none of them were good to look at.  Mostly older, fatter, with way terrible hair on their heads and faces.  Give me that 6-6 Italian.  Please!!!  He wasn't that great looking but so much better than these old guys.  And he was quiet.  I am seriously GOOD with no yelling. 

ROC is the Russian Olympic Committee (white shirts).  It is also the Republic Of China (red shirts).

Book Reading..  This is going exceptionally well.  I'm glad I saved up all my favorites for February.  And I have time with due dates to go through them all a second time before they get returned. Short Month.

I delivered the last of my Valentines today.  And got one in the mail yesterday.  And I discovered I have Easter Cards. Super. (I have a dresser drawer filled with cards but most are not holiday cards). I did NOT go to post office to buy Valentine Stamps- I used up some other stamps.  I am putting Christmas Stamps on bills.  The walking areas and steps of the post office put me off of going there in person.  Snowy and icy spots.  Traffic. Busy Street.  I'll wait.

Year Three of COVID.  Who would have thought it, huh????  The Gift That Keeps On Giving.
