Good Morning From Maine......40 degrees, sunshine

 Delicious  Pie.  Next time my daughter and I go out- we'll be looking for one of these. Or the next time my son and I bake... We'll make a Pumpkin Pie at the end of the month.

The house feels really cold, a draft on my leg while sitting here... not the usual. Just checked the temperature- normal.....so it's me...the sun is shining on the back of the house- lots of windows so it warms up the kitchen dining room really well.  The front of the house is usually more chilled. No sun. It's where I am sitting.

My daughter has emptied and cleared out the Sunporch (warm side of the house)...can see the floor.  It's dirty.  The cupboard in there is now holding my vases etc.  In case I buy flowers. She moved the standing shelf over to the window facing the new generator pad- still no generator.  I now have a larger view of the back deck and lawn.  We are going to add a Wicker Chair.... for when I sit out there... to put on my boots or just look at the yard.

She has now gone to her house as the Chimney Doctor is coming to measure for her new chimney liner which she needs before she can get a new furnace....hers has outlived it's Purposeful Life. She dropped off a letter this morning at his place of work.....he had not returned any of her phone calls.  He called.

So she is feeling pretty good about getting things going...

There is a cold draft in here.... I can feel it on my leg....temp of the furnace is as usual...but it's in the 41 outside.  And she has been in an out the front and back door since she got here- letting in lots of cold air.

I slept well.  I've eaten breakfast and read the paper....I haven't gotten to the point of using a fat black Sharpie to color over faces of Political People as yet.....any day now...I'll begin. And enjoy every moment.

I think today might be a good day to chop vegetables and make SOUP.  I have promised myself soup for weeks now...but haven't been motivated to actually make it.  Today might be the DAY.  

My book is Crusie's Bet Me... another Life Long Favorite.  Almost to the end....sigh. I'll need to dig deep in the bookcase to find something delightful......for today.
