Sigh. I have on my corduroy pants, my thermal long sleeved shirt and a wool sweater- wool socks....and I am cold. Heat is at it's usual setting of 64 which felt toasty during the winter.but not now.. Outside the grass and flower beds are wet....the daffodils still look great. The ones out front- always later with not as much sunshine- have started to flower amid the puddles of rain water.
I am considering walking down the hall to get my large scarf/shawl to wrap around my shoulders and neck. I was reading yesterday and for the first time- my eyes didn't want to co-operate. So I went to bed. Tired eyes might mean tired Joanne. I slept.
Breakfast oatmeal was nice. Morning paper not so much. Elon might be (is) leaving Washington. Perhaps the Great Orange One asked him to go. Tesla owners in Maine are trying to get rid of their cars. Dealer here in Maine can't sell any that he has in stock and customers are trying to return or trade in the ones they bought..interesting...how the Tide Can Turn......on Elon. I read that he left Washington DC.
Pizza today and possibly an Open Wheel Race but it might have already happened. Some locations the race is very very early for Maine. Then son gets up early and watches and then goes back to bed.
We'll be baking the usual Sunday Pizza....I plan on adding a salad to my plate today... romaine lettuce, carrots and Ranch dressing, If it wasn't so wet I would check and see if anything interesting had grown in the back garden --herbs. I had a very nice herb garden back there at one time.....it seems like decades ago. I told you I planned to have another herb garden in a Grow Box out front. Along with my usual ornamental flowers.....Megan might help me move and fill the container with soil. I think a few of them had wheels.... She helped me empty my big containers. I Did It All Myself Before......I think of Life now as Before or After. Very very different. Better. In some ways and not so great in other ways.
I did notice the little Christmas Tree in the back garden has finally started to grow taller. It was so tiny when I stuck it in there. I'd found it out in the woods behind the house. ( I actually found the 20 foot tall one back there when it was tiny) The Ancient Grape vines are covering the arbor now. A bit of pink in the new leaves. Needs fertilizer. I might ask someone to drive me to a place where I can buy fertilizer for the grapes-- I recall using spikes.. Behind the grocery store is a good choice. Feed and Farm.
Well, I've been up over an hour or more and I'm already tired...my 79th birthday is approaching. I plan to equal or surpass my father--86. 90 would be a reach and possibly a Nursing Home. I don't want a Nursing Home. Would rather be dead. I think most old people in a nursing home feel the same. Rather be dead. This post can serve as my Legal Statement of Intent. My Son should print it out.
