Field Notes- Friday, August 4th. Oddly cool here in Maine- for August. Low 70's and rain.


 I like the shadow......next to the real object.  Reminds me of problems to be solved in College Art Classes. Long Ago and Far Away....but I still remember them.

Rained overnight.  The netting  I put over the containers at Sunset each day (to protect the flowers from deer) were soaking wet this morning.   I walked down the steep slope to see what was going on with the blackberries.  They had been very pale pink.  Now a more rosy deeper pink.. eventually a deep reddish black.  Unless the deer eat them before they ripen.  (I could cover them with netting)  I need to look at the grapes as well.

One of the hard unripe peaches (being gassed under a microwave plastic cover) was softer and then I noticed brown spots.  So I peeled it and ate chunks off the pit.  While watching MSNBC.   I don't really expect Trump to get what he deserves.  I can see the hesitation of prison for a former President.  But Andrew Jackson.   Citizens destroyed some of the White House and tried to hang him for crimes...... real or imagined.  The Peach was juicy and quite delicious.

I need to turn on lamps.....it's dark in here.  Husband shaved some of the weird beard off his face.  The gal who cuts his hair has not called him back.  I may have to cut his hair.

At lunch yesterday....a story of a man so wrapped up in his own self...at the last moment refused to walk his daughter down the aisle at her wedding.  She had to walk down the aisle alone.

Imagine that.......

  1. I always imagine myself being the kind of person who makes little flower arrangements from my own garden flowers - but, I don't.
