Field notes- Thursday, February 16th. sunshine, 50 degrees- snow on the lawn.

 I may have used this image already.....I can't remember.  And even though I try very hard to keep the picture file up to date.......they all start looking the same to me... I liked them once and like them twice?

I have a Lunch Buddy Date at 11:30.  Nancy and I are very very excited to get out of our respective houses.  Nancy has been in COVID lockdown with her old man.  They've both been cleared by the doctor.

I have on a different pair of winter pants and the new to me sweater that I have been wearing for a few weeks now..  Feels Weird......Most of the clothing in my closet is long sleeved shirts.......summer pants........summer short sleeved camp shirts. This new to me sweater is a man's sweater with a half zip front.  Cashmere. I think daughter found it at Goodwill.  I like it.  I actually like the wrong side weave better than the front side weave..... but with the zipper- impossible to wear inside out to lunch.

I actually need to find a couple new sweaters BEFORE Winter comes around AGAIN.

I am reading the Bodyguard and the 2nd grade Schoolteacher book.  The Royals already seem to notice that the Bodyguard is interested in the Schoolteacher in the double digit book pages.  I hadn't noticed that in the first reading.  Invite to dinner with the Royals.

I just finished reading Dumplin which I have read is a movie now.  But where? I may read the next two in the series.......but have to order them?  When I re-read books- it always surprises me that they aren't the way I remember them being in previous readings......

I am horrified by that Ohio Train Wreck and the TOXIC SMOKE  and chemicals etc.  Pets and farm animals have all died in the first day or two..  Benzine was in the toxic mix in the cars.  Cancer.  Republican office holders telling the "folk"  "Nothing to see here- go back home"-- perhaps to die quietly out of sight????  The Republican Way to Handle Difficult Things...... 

I am reminded of sitting on the front porch of our Cleveland Ohio house as a pre teen and the CITY Mosquito Spraying Truck coming down the street spraying me with Mosquito Killer. Spraying any one that happened to be outside at the time... No Warning.  The Ohio Way to Do Things.
