Field Notes with a Cup of Tea. Rained yesterday. We were not expecting rain. Sunshine today.


 French Style Apple Cake.  Must put apples on the shopping list for next week.

I read most of yesterday- on and off.  Watched news.  Herschel Walker.  Georgia.  I am trying very very hard to think of the Georgia I lived-in years ago- even letting this guy VOTE.  But run for office??? Blowing my mind.  Georgians didn't even like Jimmy Carter. Then. Or me- "Who are your people???" Odd that my brother and his wife have lived in Georgia more years than we did.  We have people now.

I worked on my desk calendar.  I don't fill in each day's square anymore.  I cover whole weeks with art. Some of it Political.  Some of it just Art.  Some of it lists.  I have a clipping of a white chair with long thin black metal legs.......not pasted down as yet....... I have a painting of blue hands holding a green lawn and a white house with a red roof.  Covering the first Saturday in October.  Something.

A long time silent Reader has re-appeared.  ML.  I have missed her in the comments and in my email. Another blogger has lost her beloved husband.  It was a sad day..  Lots of tears.  There are many Readers who are silent now- surfacing only every few years to say- "I'm Reading" and that makes me very happy. Most days I feel like I send these posts out into Space.  Which is a delightful thing in itself. Space.

In todays' paper a local- just down the road- rocket company is going to send cremated remains into Space on their rockets.  Pets and People.  I am adding the article to the Book.  I want to be buried in Space out with the planets and stars. Take Riley and Rusty with me. We'll drift around.  Forever.

The bird feeders need filling every few days.  The deer are coming at dusk to eat acorns off the lawn. Five and sometimes more.  They summer out on a island.  Swim back over for Winter. All the females with one or two babies.  Mostly juveniles now.  But way cute bouncing around when very tiny.  They are eating the Peach Tree Branches but so far, haven't gobbled up the annual flowers in the containers...... but they will.

I asked another Georgia person - one of the Other Camp - what they thought of Walker. Their comment, "Now THAT is just plain ridiculous." Seems like everyone has their limits.

Now, I'm craving a cake I've never had.
