Field Notes- Friday, January 13th- Green Grass overnight. Whatever snow we had is gone.

 Sea Eagle.  Isn't it fantastic????

We went to bed last night and everything was Snow Covered.  And this morning- Green Grass.  It's cold. But Global Warming for the Win for another Day in January. In Maine. 

I am making another pot of Chicken Soup Today.  Good day for soup as it's colder in the house than it is outdoors.  Or seems like that.  The Panera Baked Potato Soup was reasonably Good.  Not thin and watery as was the Broccoli Cheese.  I peeled, diced and microwaved an additional potato.  Added it to the soup.  I would buy it again.  Needed onion. Or chives.  Something.  I had emptied out the Spice drawer so the old onion powder is now in the compost.  The Spice drawer is very empty.  

Going forward I will buy only the tiny jars of spices.  The 1.5 inch tall ones.

I did a load of wash yesterday.  Perhaps too many things...but everything looked nice and clean.  It all got dried and folded and put away.  Clean Undies for all.  

Hardly anything good to watch...I tried Anderson Cooper yesterday.  He tries so hard not to show his true feeling as people talk.......but it's there....in his eyes.  I might watch him more often this month.  MSNBC is getting tedious.  Actually LIFE is getting tedious.  I need new books........

 I am planning to mend a few additional holes in my dark grey button down sweater.  Mostly under the arms.  Rubbing.  And the Elbows.  The seam down the right sleeve has a multitude of holes.  I worked on the edges and a few Body spots earlier in the month.  But stopped before checking the sleeves. I am using contrasting sock yarn.  So the mending is visible. Intentional.

I started another book.  I don't like it.

So...I am going back to the kitchen to get soup going.....Joanne.
