Winter Notes- Saturday, December 23rd. Chilly Morning. 32 with Sunshine.


 My eyes are TOO DRY this morning so, difficult to see what's what in the picture files.  But this looks good. I have a lot of this kind of pine tree in the yard...not that many pinecones (if any)..... Here in Maine the grass is still green.  And it looks very little like the Usual Maine Christmas.  LOTS of ACORNS. Called a Mast Year.  In the past...the yard would be full of deer late in the evening and early in the morning...eating acorns.  I saw one.  One deer...so far.

Last evening ALL my neighbors had a fire going in their fireplaces....festive but made it difficult for me to breathe. I tried sleeping in my bedroom but the fire smoke somehow traveled in thru the drier vent in the bathroom... so I had to carry my bedding out to the couch....the same couch where I slept (sort of) while G was in the hospital bed- trying to get out of it between 3 and 5 am... I fell asleep and woke up to morning sunshine.  It's such a gift these days- to be able to sleep...... 

I thought about that and then just pulled the down blanket over my head and went to sleep.

I called and checked on my Annual Doctor's Appointment.  My first with this new doctor.  January 2nd at 3 pm.  I forgot to ask if they had COVID shots.  My friend uses the same doctor and she said they were very very busy the day of her appointment.....everyone there sick with COVID it seemed.  My friend had something else.  A cough, ear infection and something else.  I hope she is feeling better.

Today we are having Football Pizza.  My son loves the scheduled food events..... smiling....I tend to live an Unscheduled Life but eat Scheduled Meals.... I did not know this about myself......now I do. Live and Learn.
