Field Notes- Wednesday, May 31st. sunshine.


 I haven't colored it as yet but wrote some color choices on the backside of the index card.

Yesterday was...like wearing clothes that don't fit or itch or are just not right.  It was like that all day. I did manage to wash and dry a full load of clothes.....this new washer holds quite a LOT more than the older one did.  This would have been two loads in the old one.  I didn't have much- even anything-- for the Pages.

Tru Green stopped by to fertilize and kill weeds.  They seem more professional. Also needy..wanting me to comment on their work etc. on the internet site the company has. Husband couldn't find his gardening tools...he wanted to weed the edges of the beds along the back side of the house.  Then he had a can of beer.  I should buy him some in bottles. Imported- I think he liked Blue Moon?  Next shopping trip.

I boiled some very good pasta for him...he adds it to the Chicken Parm Dinners.  That was it for cooking on my part.  I folded the washed clothing.  

My TV...I rebooted the TiVo 5 times and then gave up and watched MSNBC  while their faces broke into smears of colors etc etc etc.  The audio is fine.  Reception in the Dining room on that  TV is perfect. No TiVo.  I could disconnect it...But I have 90 hours of entertainment on the TiVo.  But...I wanted MSNBC.

I drew this cactus before I knew the TV would be messed up........Before I was sad.  Wrote color notes on the back- I have ideas and usually CAN recall them...but not these days.  So I noted them on the backside of the card. I also have to find an image for today.  Never mind.....I made two drawings yesterday..... I must have known I wasn't going to be in a good place today.....

I changed out the desktop calendar.  A day early.  The only blank space was up under the desktop stand...very heavy.  So I changed it out.....pasted a few things and did a small amount of fill in black ink work.   The three years of calendars would make an interesting visual display...... I cut out quite a few newspaper cartoons (political) and have headlines etc.  This month there is a side bar to my right for a list of books I read during the month.  I should have done that from the beginning.

Today (and most of yesterday)'s book is the Boyfriend Candidate by Winstead.   A woman meets a guy in a bar, they drink too much and before they make it to the hotel room...a fire starts...cameras catch the guy who wants to be Governor and the School Librarian exiting the hotel..... Political Scandal at it's best.  I am close to the ending....there hasn't even been a second kiss....and things have gone so very wrong.  This misunderstanding is... painful.  I like the characters... the plot moved well until the end.... there are enough pages to get to a satisfying conclusion.....but will I hang around for it?????  Let you know tomorrow.
