Winter Notes- Wednesday. January 24th...Light dry snow falling....23 degrees


 Another dog.

Yes, it's snowing....but it's Maine and it's January.  Dry pellet snow beads.  

I am considering making SOUP.   I am always considering making SOUP.  I do have a can of Split Pea soup and that might actually do the trick with the addition of some potato and carrot.  I like a chunky soup.

The cough medicine seems to work- if I take it right on the 4 hour mark...wait an hour longer and I start coughing again...... It's a rough dry unproductive cough.  Annoying more than anything.  I had to get up in the middle of the night to take some.....then I slept.

I also have cough drops to keep me lubricated.  I might have to look up RSV.

I have made a Book Reading Decision.  February will be Read My Favorite BOOKS Month.  I own most of my favorites....so they are right here in the bookcase.  And I haven't actually read most of them in a long time.......because for me...the hunt for them is sometimes the best part of the books..once I've read them once.

I am also thinking March--I will read authors who write "Austin" books.  You will get a list as I go thru them.   I don't have enough for a whole month but if you all would like to suggest any- feel free.  I would be very happy to expand my reading collection with  "Pride and Prejudice" read a likes.  I have Eligible.. Which is a favorite.  I might go on line and do a search.

I am pleased to have a PLAN.  And pleased the cough suppressant is working...and not making me sleepy. No fever or anything like that..... and I have four hours before it comes back.

  1. There is probably zero humidity in your house this time of year. When was the last time the furnace filter was changed?

  2. I recently purchased a copy of Daphne du Maurier's Jamaica Inn. It's one of those multi-books and includes Rebecca, Frenchman's Creek, Jamaica Inn and My Cousin Rachel. I have other copies of Rebecca and Frenchman's Creek and I'm searching for singular books of Jamaica Inn and My Cousin Rachel. Have you read any of her books? She wrote a short story (The Birds) that Alfred Hitchcock adapted into a movie. I highly recommend her books.
