Wednesday. March 5th Snow on the ground and rain falling.....

New scraps.  I visited the Sewing Room...

black and white and gray.  and some other colors.  Need to be cut....

Gloomy.   Chilly..... I am having decaf coffee this morning (almost noon as I type).. My Library friend Janet is not sure she will attend the Growing Plants to use to Dye Fabric.  I signed up and will attend- it's my first real decision. Can't back down now.

My Master Gardener Pal (also not attending) is driving to Boston to care for her sister who has COVID.  So many people I know have gotten COVID repeatedly (my Lunch buddy and her entire family..very often)....it's a  puzzle that I try and figure out.  Each time it's stronger not weaker.  Obviously no immunity.  I may have had a very weak case of it- or I am remembering having the Flu.  The Flu, with me, is pretty awful.  I get the flu shot every year.  No repeats wanted.   The only thing all of the infected people have in common- they got on an airplane or car and traveled. OR know someone who did and spend time with that person.

I watched The Hunter.  A new series at 10pm....Like watching a (really) crappy daytime soap. You know- they stand and talk and over to the left is the back of the head of whomever they are speaking to.... I stopped after 15 minutes and deleted all the episodes I recorded on TiVo....switched to Law and Order and then moved on to a  repeat Tracker episode.  Then went to bed.

Trump has now increased the price of heating oil (trade war with Canada)...how most Mainers heat their houses....I'm sure they will remain loyal Trumpers as they freeze when they run out of money to fill the oil tanks. That Fireball liquor should warm them up.  My last oil fill was almost $800.  And that might not last until Summer.  And I need oil all year to heat water, for showers and washing dishes.....and clothes.  Electricity here in Maine is even more expensive.  I ask myself why I still live here??????  I have no good reason. I remember another trade war where a tank fill was nearly $1200.  Back in the early 90's.

I have a book to finish reading and I might refill my decaf coffee cup...stuff is good.....Daughter got the  jar of  instant coffee at the Natural Food Market.

Daughter got me some 1980-'s used Jude Deveraux books.... I have a bad felling about them.

I am going to look for husband's radio.....I KNOW the Sports Talk Show is on the radio so- just listening to them talk might be good enough...since I am usually coloring, sewing or writing when I used to "watch".   Now wondering what the radio looked like.....
