Field Notes- Monday, July 25th- Clouds in my Coffee. Hoping they contain rain.


 Blueberry Cake.  Finally made.  Needed two full cups of blueberries so used up all that I had picked in the back garden (most of the plants didn't make ANY) and then added the berries I had gotten at the grocery.  Big Fat ones.   The cake is delicious.  We had cake instead of lunch.

Finished my book.  The guy from the last book invited all the characters from THAT book into THIS book for a birthday party.  It was like a visit from old friends.  They had things to tell us.  Babies.

It's gotten darker.  Looks like 5 or 6 pm in here at 9:20 am.  

My eyes have FINALLY signaled an end to a book a day.  They are exhausted and want me to just sit with eyes lubricated and closed.  I will listen.  To music.  I will daydream.  Make up stories of my own.

It's RAINING!!!!!!!!  I can hear it hitting the roof...........Raining!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Coming down hard.

I had carried in husband's gardening clothes.  He hoses the mud and dirt off of them and then spreads them over a lawn chair to dry in the Sun.  Gets a few extra days out of each set of clothing.  I appreciate it.

Still raining.   If I was younger I would go stand out in it.  Saying thank you.Today's book is Don't Forget About Me.  I have no clue what it's about......British.  So lots of Pub Drinking and Shagging Idiots. And the ink on the print is very light.  I might give it a pass....and my eyes a rest.  Look for something with darker ink.

  4. Looks so yummy! I tried growing them in Kentucky, but never got enough in any season for a cake.
    Japanese beetles enjoyed the leaves too much.
