Spring Notes- 48 degrees and 87% humidity. Wet...no tree work today.

 I love this tiny house with it's front porch, steps and lovely landscaping.  I can see myself sitting on the front porch reading a book like I did in my teenage years.  This is an "in town" sized house. A walk everywhere house.

The two Appliance Guys showed up to "Assess The Stove Situation".  Not a positive conclusion- the direct line from power to stove made them uncomfortable- they would like to just plug things in.  An electrician might need to be brought into the mix.  They left.  It seems like the new microwave is doable. Not a clue what happens next....Not a single clue.

Son gives impression that this "is not how things go in California". Well, of course it isn't. This is not an apartment complex. This is also Maine.

I remembered to use my new Sonic toothbrush two days in a row.  The buzzing tickles my teeth.  Feels weird.  I took a long shower this morning and washed my hair.  Left the conditioner on longer than normally. Hair feels different -- soft. Silky.  I still look like a Mad Old Hag.

The next two paragraphs got deleted as I think I already wrote it all before... son has made me paranoid about repeating myself.  Actually talking to people in the house--I stopped doing that a few years ago. I think I mentioned one time....here on the blog.... that I started talking out loud to myself....just to be able to talk.  I was alone so much of the time.  Husband didn't count.  He never spoke to me. Or listened to me.

I did talk to the Lawn Guy- his co-worker was insanely good looking.  And very young.

That's about it for today....I am reading an old school paperback- four inches by seven inches.  I am surprised I can read it.  Daughter got me a few...... ghosts and Sea Captains.  Devereaux.

I would really like cake....but I shouldn't be eating cake.  

Oh, the Landscaping Head Guy/Owner showed up with a brand new TRUCK.  I guess I bought him a truck.  That's how much it costs to take down trees.......yesterday he tied a rope to a tree and to the front bumper of his new truck and backed up on my driveway...... and the guy with a chain saw made the usual cut and the tree came down right where they wanted it.  Then they did a second one.  I think the stump grinding guy got most of the stumps ground down....interesting machine.  He's now got it parked in the back yard.  Across the street neighbor got fresh mulch- nice and black.  I don't like mulch as it tends to suffocate the plants and trees that its piled next to.  Mulch Guy is my Lawn Guy.
