Field Notes- (a change) Friday July 15th. Sunshine- We never got any rain.


 The Avocado Pit.   This has been an impressive year for the "pit" as it has grown taller and made an impressive canopy of large healthy leaves  and retained them for several months.  I need to investigate new housing for the Pit- a larger pot in case it wants to grow into an actual TREE.

Yesterday's book.  I almost didn't read this one.  But so so happy that I did. Author is Abby Jimenez and the title is Part of Your World.  A hard working ER doctor slides into a ditch on a rural road on her way home from a funeral.  A guy stops and pulls her car out of the ditch and later sees her at the VFW (in a very small poor Town).  She goes back to his apartment over the garage (for a grilled cheese sandwich) and they have sex.  Lots of it.  She's 36 and he's 24.  She runs off while he's asleep. There are lots of issues to unpack in this book.  Age. Education. Wealth.  Emotional Abuse (by the doctor she had been dating).

I am planning to read (or give the books a chance) other titles by this author.  Life's Too Short. The Happy Ever After  Playlist and The Friend Zone.

Husband got his hair cut- really short- he doesn't think he likes it.  But it looks fine. I had Hot Dogs for dinner.  While watching news.  I had intended to do a load of wash.  But I didn't.   Husband weeded the abandoned carrot, beet, radish bed in the fenced garden.  Lots of grass seedlings.  Weeds.

He also stopped at the Town Office and got copies of the land plot images (from overhead) to see if that ugly tree is ours or the new neighbor's.  Their parking pull out butts right up to the property line.  their house is right next to the parking spot.  Why would you build a house on or so close to the property line of your neighbor???  Sigh.  So I guess the very very tall tree with most of its branches- dead.....is ours. This is going to be expensive.

OK, you got me, I requested that the book be sent from another library branch.
