Field Notes- Clouds. in the 60's. Rhubarb.

 I went out with clippers and cut the dead parts off Peach Tree Branches.  Husband also had a haircut. It's amusing...each time the haircutter removes more of his hair.  The back and sides are nearly bare.

Perhaps this month- I should get my own hair cut very short?? I used to in the months the greenhouse, perennial yard and annual house were so damned hot and humid.  And I also used to run the hose water over my head.  So my brain didn't over heat.

I think perhaps I've had this image here before- do you mind a second time?

My Lunch Buddy has a cooler full of rhubarb.  She is offering it to me.  I said YES.  And the resulting Strawberry Rhubarb Pie will be shared with her husband.. Still waiting for medical test results.....sigh. That sort of waiting is never easy.  This is a second set.

I have been dosing husband with one or two- (per day- not two at once) of the tiny Arnica beads.  They seem be having some positive result....... I bruised my thumb- the pad....a tiny bit of the Arnica gel and it was as if it had never happened. One time I slammed into something by the air conditioner and it really really hurt and started showing as a bruise immediately.  I rubbed the gel in and used one tiny bead... the pain subsided and by the next day the bruise was gone.  I read about Arnica on Jude's blog. Boron.

Daughter was fed two farm fresh eggs cooked in a small cast iron pan by her employer.  Now she wants to know if I have such a pan.  I do not.  But I can offer up a le Creuset to try out. Not as small but cast iron as well.  I was under the impression daughter was a vegetarian.  ?????

Well, I must get into the kitchen and make my Microwave Oatmeal Breakfast.  My Instant Coffee. My vitamin pills.  I have the NEW washing machine preloaded with the pile of husband clothing he put in the basket yesterday after his haircut.  This will be a new experience for the washer.  Hopefully the last of the heavy Winter Clothing.  I do need to read the booklet-- to see if they have a sweater setting.  Otherwise I will have to hand wash......and really do not want to.   I will hand wash my cashmere.  Because...I want them to last at least another 10 years.  I am counting on living that much longer.  86.
