Winter Notes- Sunday, December 31st. Sunshine, 34 degrees and Green Grass. In Maine.

 Lemons Today   Postcards from Provence.

I am wondering how long it takes for him to do these paintings?  I like the background of worn slate.

So, Son is doing laundry- he sets a timer to go off on his iPhone.  I think the iPhone also lets him know when its time for meals and snacks.  I thought this was odd in the beginning but he can get lost in his computer games etc so...it makes sense now.  And when he comes down the stairs I have a general idea of what time it is.  Like having a clock chiming the hour.

We have sunshine today.  The snow is all just a thing of the past..... It feels strange to be entering January with green grass.......would be stranger if the trees had leaves. ...but in a few years...that might also be something that happens.  Eventually my yard and house will be part of the Atlantic Ocean.  Yes, dear Readers ...the Ocean is that close...a few miles. 

Birds are visiting the bird feeders.  Street is quiet- not even one person out walking their dog.

I was up late reading a very "sexy, fun" book from the quote on the cover.  30 Days.  She wrote a second- 30 Nights --but none of the libraries in my search engine has the second book.  2015 isn't that long ago.

So...on to the PILE and choosing the book for today....I will not be finishing a book today as we have several football games to watch.  And Football Pizza to make... with mild banana peppers and pineapple additions.  We checked the tv schedule to choose the games we will be watching.

It hasn't taken us much time to adjust to each other and make plans etc... that we can both look forward to. We decided which games to watch and agreed on the ones we would NOT watch.

Well, the afore mentioned SUN has clouded over and I have to turn on lights....
