Daily Notes on Wednesday the 13th of November. In the 40's but Sunshine.

 Marcella Hazans Bolognese.....

Well, fewer and fewer people are reading these words (that I write) and I wonder...should I just stop.????

Yesterday Daughter was working in the garage- we found 6 unopened large gallon sized bottles of Round Up. Husband must have forgotten he already bought some....bought more.....never used any of it..

So the memory loss goes further back...he wasn't shopping the last few years (because he got lost driving). We have to wait for Spring when the Town Hazardous Waste Department Opens.  Drop off all the dangerous products he had on the garage shelving. Quite a bit.

Daughter kept asking if I wanted any of it....I never used pesticides.....there are better natural ways to discourage pests from your gardens......I taught classes about those ways.  Little did I know my husband was...well, it's past now. He's gone.

Yesterday daughter drove me to the Greenhouse where I worked.....I wanted Paperwhite bulbs to set on stones in a glass jar.... watch them grow and make little white flowers... we got very lucky...almost everyone I had worked with was working.....I got to visit and chat and get hugged. One of the young guys was making hot chocolate for everyone....I always get sad when I visit and see all my old friends...and recall the happy days of working there....have tears in my eyes typing this.

We stopped at the bookstore and I found 8 books and a 2025 wall calendar....so a good time.

When we got home my daughter alphabetized by bookcase. It was interesting to watch her method. She just put the books in piles on the floor by alphabet and then into the bookcase...easy.  I'm not sure I would have thought of that....perhaps years ago but not now.

Well, that's it for now...I enjoyed seeing my old co-workers and getting hugged and hugging them...it was a VERY GOOD DAY....now to see if the crack in the big glass jar leaks water........yes, it has a crack.
