Field Notes- Sunday, August 7th. Heat and Humidity- 92 degrees or more.


 I don't have much to say this morning.  Daughter went to a concert in Boston and didn't get home to her house till after 3 am.  We were texting each other until she got home safely.  So not much sleep for either of us.  Train, Car etc.  A mother worries.

And this morning- watering the Peach Trees- so humid I could hardly breathe.  August.

Yesterday's book was "If I Never Met You" by Mhairi McFarlane.  British.  Two Lawyers. Don't know what the title has to do with anything.  The ending was sort of thrown together, last minute.  There's a lot of that going on in the new Trade Paper Romances right now.......throwing things together last minute at the end of the books.  A jumble of plot lines.  I don't like it.   One Italian Summer by Rebecca Serle also had a last minute toss of an ending.  Too bad...both books were going along find until the last bits.  Smashed up plot lines........in a hurry to finish. Deadlines to get the books into print. The ending ruined the entire book.  So...not buying either of them.

I have cold chicken in the fridge to make into chicken salad for food to eat today.  With a large mixed greens salad.  I finished off the vegetable pasta yesterday.  I am considering making something with the garden zucchini harvest.  Batter Fried Zucchini Fritters.  Or Quick Zucchini Pickles.  Or Zucchini Bread. I have recipe cards here in front of me......I could shuffle them and pick one.

I don't have a book chosen for today.  I'm VERY tired and would actually love to take a nap.  Wish I could take a nap.  But falling asleep has always been difficult for me.....as long time readers will know.  Husband is asleep on the couch.  He just closes his eyes and he's out.  We had words this morning.  

I think it might be best for me to start looking for somewhere else to live. I've used up all my kindness and care.  I just feel used up. Empty.  August.......not my best month.
