Summer Notes- Wednesday, July 10th. Sunshine, 77 degrees and 90% humidity. Disgusting.


 Vase with Irises- Vincent Van Gogh

I found a site with many images so...that's what we'll be seeing here for awhile and then back to my own images.

Watched the European Soccer.  The stadium (in New Jersey) was packed.  Families.  I mean there were children, grandparents and babies.  It was a wonderful thing to see. I watched both games.

I searched for scraps of fabric to stitch to make a story... I have a sky and a roof and a background.  So far. Re-read a book about firemen and women.  Yes, they put out fires but they also do rescue.  And they have their own personal demons in this book.  I started it once before and quit.  This time I made it to the very end. 

Things You Save in A Fire by Katherine Center.  Not a Rom Com. Next up City Baker's Guide to Country Living by Louise Miller.... One of the Ten Books I found via lists and more lists.  I had read Things You Save awhile ago and didn't quite enjoy it...I did this time.

A storm came thru Maine and across my yard late in the afternoon.  Yesterday.. water pounded down on us. I was happy about the water as I hadn't hauled the watering cans out to the Peach Trees. Thunder rolled with it. The Peach Trees needed a big drink and the sky gave it to them.

Well, I haven't had coffee or cereal as yet so I am going to go do that.......read the news and then try to do the sudoko puzzle.  My regular start of the day things.  I am considering baking but will have to have son show me how to turn on the oven...a Peach Cobbler I think.  With Frozen Peaches from those two trees out in the lawn.  The last time they produced peaches.

My hair....sigh.  really short hair is so much easier.  But then...I have to admit....everything was easier..before.  It must just be me.  Getting used to my new reality and it not being a good fit......yet.
