Field Notes- Monday, June 19th. Cloudy and Damp outside. 63 degrees

 Many Moons Ago. I tried to do this...embroidery on a leaf.  It is time consuming and delicate.  Once the leaf drys- you really can't touch it-   And you have to choose a very sturdy pliable leaf.  Magnolia?

I have to say...the experience of doing this sort of thing stays with you.....And for that reason alone...it might be worth trying.  And matting and framing under glass....  causing Future Generations to gasp.

Father's Day.   Long call from California son to husband.  Visit from daughter-- she was tasked with cleaning up our iPhones.   Husband and I both had issues.  Mine was iCloud which I ALWAYS say no to--his was something else.  Also my picture file was loaded.  I wasn't using Trash correctly.  When she showed me what to do- I was thinking---oh, I used to do that all the Time and haven't done it in Years.

She didn't want to stay any longer than necessary.  We discussed our mutual visit to DMV. Soon.

I read the Boyfriend Candidate once more before having to return the book to the Library today. I think I read it five times (or more) in the weeks I had the book.  It's like my perfect book.  I am going to miss it.

I get to multi task today and pay the car tax on the two cars......There is a one hundred dollar a month fine  (each car) for not registering the cars and paying the tag tax.  Some "people" try and dodge paying the tax.........neighbors of mine.  Playing a game of chicken.  There is also an annual inspection sticker which carries a heavy fine as well.

I should be able, in the days ahead to catch you up on the cactus index card drawings......  Now that my picture file is very very empty.  

Daughter also set up something to get rid of the JUNK collected by the computer from a "Friend's email" we'll see if it works.  Certainly is a pain in the you know what.
