Daily Notes- Saturday May 17th. Damp Cloudy and wet here in Maine....the grass seed might like the weather?????

 Occasionally, out front in the ornamental planters- I will see a hummingbird.  Rare here where I live. A Cardinal couple (male and female) is feeding at the bird feeders on the front porch.  Chipmonks and squirrels (rodents) are eating seeds off the porch floor.

I watched MSNBC yesterday for about 40 minutes....that was enough.  Then I watched Soccer. then I went searching for another scrap of a green stripe fabric....ZERO.  I have three sides done and need one more scrappy strip of 5 inches.   None.  The strips are torn so had to come off of a large piece.

I am reading Fast Women by Crusie.  We are on a very very fast roll to the ending.  I have read this book many times and wonder why it isn't in my bookcase.   They order Chinese often and eat it in bed.  I am really wanting some potstickers.... used to make them myself years and years ago...mine were fantastic. I used the processor to make the chicken into a thick paste....made the dough...rolled... cut... filled.. folded. Then in the pan to steam for a while then the lid off to get crispy on one side.  Never had any left over.. Made my own dipping sauce as well.   

Had one bill to pay.

I've recorded the morning cooking shows on PBS.  I like watching them but they don't actually hold my interest the way they did when I cooked.  The morning quilting show bored me these days as well.

I will have to choose another green fabric for that fourth side....not happy about it.  I have made two new squares in the past few days...hand sewing...the seams.  None of them match any of the others. All are one-offs.  From the handfuls of fabric scraps.  I like each and every one of them...quite a lot.

I am rolling the extra Swiss and baked ham up minus the flour tortilla.  Eating that for lunch.  Having coffee and oatmeal for breakfast.  I have yogurt and fruit if I want that later in the day.  One pear left and two peaches.   I have a small amount of my Mother's Day ice cream every other day.  What I really crave is French Fries. No reason......

FLAX is having a Mystery Pile of clothing in size of your choice for $100.  I looked at the clothes on their site....will NOT be buying the Mystery Pile.  I might have a few pieces in the closet....I could pull them out.  Nice colors.  Not sure what I weighed when I bought the stuff....my weight has been all over the place in the past 20 years.  I'd love to be able to wear the smaller things.  

I am considering a Gin and Tonic...  later today. And possibly frying up a pan of frozen (freezer) pot stickers. Even though my daughter threw out all the bottles of things I would use to make a dipping sauce. Or NOT.  Making anything.
