An image from the internet-- no flowers growing here. Zinnias.
I walked out to get the newspaper.....I woke up before my Son did...that's a first. Oatmeal was good. Coffee is bitter but..that's okay.... reading the one Danielle Steel book I got yesterday. Also bitter.
I selected four Bosc Pears for my "Fruit of the Week" and was arranging them on the counter-- like Life Drawing Models.......tempted to do a drawing today if the tv offerings are AS dismal as the weather.
I must be getting "over" whatever......has been bothering me and making me morose. I went looking for green fabric yesterday- one I remembered....didn't find it. I found something else and thought- "is this what I remembered and got it wrong???" I didn't want to use the green I found. Felt "wrong".
I have a feeling that Quilting has used up all the oxygen and will now go into hibernation until it's next re-birth... in ten or twenty years....with new fabric patterns, colors etc. I might tea dye my colorful stuff and make it darker and well, darker. Like my mood. I let go of the wildly colored juvenile stuff.. though I keep finding a riot of red, orange and gold in the storage boxes.......and I am wanting mossy green......
I seem to have a haircut appointment next week....I doubt I need one as my hair is very very short. Still. It seems to have stopped growing.....does that happen as we get closer to 80???? I know my ears have kept growing and are getting very large.
My hands are cold....I need to turn on the house lamps...it's very dark in here....very wet outside. Very still as well...not a breeze to move the leaves. I need to finish the Danielle Steel and move on to something else. I doubt my choice of books this week was a success.....More likely "I just don't want to read"...... a new experience for me at 78. Not wanting to read. I returned half the books from last week- unread and didn't venture into the bookcase either to try an old favorite........I hope it's a passing fatigue with books... I have always enjoyed reading.....which fills my Life when I have nothing else............
I filled the recycling box on the back porch...we have enough plastic bags.....I got rid of the ones the daily newspaper arrives in....365 of them?????? Or More. Would be nice if one or two of you wrote me a paragraph of your own news???????? Like a typed conversation??????

Colorado got rid of plastic bags several years ago. It is now bring your own bag or pay 10 cents for a paper bag. The garbage pickup requires the trash in a plastic bag so I have to purchase them.
I read the paper digitally. I no longer can do the crossword or other puzzles without printing them.
The husband turned 79 yesterday.
The potatoes, lettuce, and onions are doing well in the garden. Garlic, chives also. It’s been a bit cool for the garden sage, rosemary and dill. The cucumbers have popped up and there are more radishes than I remember planting. I will try your roasting technique with them.
Today is a misty day after yesterday’s tornadoes in the northeast portion of the State.
And I’m finishing my oatmeal with a second cup of tea.
Your comments arrived and I read them...I think others are having trouble typing them IN....
