Summer Notes- Thursday, August 15th. 64 degrees and 93% humidity. Clouds and very very wet.

 


A very slow start today...Me and the computer both very sluggish.  I am up very early. Unnaturally early. I had many thoughts and emotions this morning.....just sliding thru my mind and emotions like a slow series of images.  Growing old.  Letting go.  And incredibly, having to start over.

I uncovered the ornamentals......netting was very wet.  I walked out to get the newspaper.  Son is still asleep.  Or he has gone somewhere.

Dansk wooden bowl.  Grapes.  Husband liked eating grapes while he did word search puzzles on the back Sun Porch.  He would sit out there most of the day.  Looking a the garden.  The woods.

I need to turn on some lights....eat my breakfast and read the newspaper.  I sorted a large plastic bag of fabric scraps yesterday.  By color family.  I was watching CSI/NY and well, I have outgrown that show. So next up I watched one of my recorded Hallmark "Jane Austin" movies.  The one where the Librarian goes back in time to find Mr Darcy. And everything (and everyone) smells bad.  There are two more..  I am also still reading the Wedding Crasher.  We've come to the misunderstanding......part.

There was an essay on the NYTimes feed that comes into my mail box here on the computer...about finding love after 60.  The writer noticed- after many years of him working on her house.....her carpenter.  Would be a delightful Rom Com.  The essay was a delight to read.  

Well, I am hungry and it's not even 8am.... I went out and got the newspaper.  Son usually does but no idea where he is.  Perhaps asleep upstairs.  Everything is very very wet outside.  It was raining when I went to bed and there was lightning and thunder.  I doubt the guys will be mowing the grass anywhere today.

Breakfast...
