Daily Notes- Sunday March 27th. Cloudy with a Chance of Some Kind of Weather.

 Seeing this bird in my garden would be one of my Top Ten Life Moments.  But he lives in a warmer zone.The males are always way more colorful.

Seeing any color in my garden right now...would be a miracle.  The crocus are in bloom but I can't see them from inside. A houseplant, that was a Christmas gift a few years before COVID, is making a flower stem. ( a first)  I hadn't know it would do this.  Most of the leaves have brown edges.  Too much Sun, Too much Water. Hard to say.  House could also be Too cold.  I am going to prune the damaged or sick ones off today.  After I find the slim pruners.

Yesterday's book was Week Before The Wedding by Kendrick.  Today's book will be Cure for the Common Breakup.  Reading them in order.  Wedding book was about Ellen and Ryan (bride but so not the groom) and we met Summer.  Second book is about Summer and we meet the Mayor.  Third book Put a Ring On It we meet Brighton and Brighton meets Jake. I think reading them in order one after the other will be fantastic. 

I made a bowl of Noosa Honey Yogurt with Bran Buds and the mixed berry assortment tray from the grocery store.  Some blackberries. Some raspberries. A few blueberries.   Not too many as I want to get as many servings as I can. Needs to rest a bit longer to soften the Bran Buds.

Started a new puzzle from the discount store.  Was only $8.99 but needed some cleaning up of the puzzle pieces.  Must have been a "second".  Husband always frets about there not being enough edge pieces.  So while he made his supper I put the "not enough" pieces together to form the entire square border.  10 minutes would be too many minutes.  Now he can stop worrying about the edges and ....do the puzzle.  300 pieces. I think that's his upper limit.  And the pieces are a good size.

It's a very busy colorful floral design puzzle so I like it quite a bit.  

Puzzle making shows OUR true differences. I am so Far Outside the Box- hardly aware there is a Box-- and he's ALLBOX.  This showed in our style of Dog Ownership also.  Riley knew.  You could figure out what the dog was feeling by who he chose to stay close to.  You'd think Outside the Box wouldn't be an old dog's choice.  But it was. He'd come find me.  We'd go walking at Midnight or watch endless Law and Order while I rubbed his back with my wool sock covered foot.

When I made quilts...I was surprised by the older Guild members telling me there were piecing, fabric and style RULES. Huh?????? And let's never mention colors......my color choices made them grind their teeth. God, I miss those Old Weirdos. All dead now. Possibly waiting for me to rile them up when I join them. But I might not be going to the same place they went.
