Field Notes- Sunday, May 21st. Very wet. Raining yesterday and today is clouds- dampness.


 Today you get a picture of a Sandwich.  I am imagining it to be the shredded baked chicken with honey and tons of mayo.  The sandwich I love just now..... in the past months.  Which I haven't had in what seems like a long time. I am imaging the bread to be that French loaf I love so much.

I made the Roasted Cherry Tomato Pasta with the very last of the roasted tomatoes in the freezer. Full of pectin.  Creamy from that.  I am being frugal with it. Making it last.

I am like that when I love something.  I am frugal with it.  Holding on as long as I can to it.  My Beloved Sweaters.  My Favorite Socks. (both more mending that original)  My favorite books.  This old computer where this blog was created.  This blog.  How I look forward to sitting here and typing words that someone out there might just...possibly...read.  And connect with me.

I was very alone when I started this blog.  My quilting friends had died or moved away-----one by one until I was alone.  Very Alone.  So I worked at the Library.  And made transactional friendships --I checked out books to familiar people.  That ended.  I quit just before they fired me.  Then the Greenhouse. And after ten years I wasn't healthy enough to stay.  Breathing was a problem. My knee gave out.

And now....it's just me in this house growing older by the day.  Procrastinating about everything but the Field Notes.  

I have a huge PILE of laundry to do.  The change over from Winter Clothing to Not Winter Clothing. It's a GREAT PILE of CLOTHING. Mostly husband.  He creates a lot of laundry.  I have a load set to go...but never pushed the BUTTON to start it.  I have a Button Washing Machine. So STRANGE.  Like visiting a Foreign Land.......I am not comfortable with it.

I also need to vacuum the floors.  Dust.  Winter Dust.  Somehow, the lawn across the street got mowed.  While it was raining?  Or very early this morning.  How very very strange...........
