Daily Notes for Sunday February First. Still Cold, Still covered in Snow....

 No image- I don't have anything to share today...

1...Cold here in Maine with Bright Sunshine. 19 degrees.

2...Reading Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie,  I have several other books by this author ordered from other Libraries... They are all listed as "in transit" but that's been a week or more....possibly two weeks...possibly three weeks...perhaps the interlibrary system has collapsed??????   Something has gone wrong ....very very wrong.  This happened once before when a contract with the delivery system couldn't be finalized.   Daughter might be recruited to find and buy them instead.

3.  I had to check last night before I went to bed- to see if I had purchased enough food for the week. I have four and possibly 5 servings of soup...I purchased two, one serving containers of soup...ones I like but not enough to have a whole pot of it waiting to be eaten and I also have ham and cheese fro roll ups..  Today we make PIZZA.  

4.  I didn't buy things to make a salad.  And I am hoping the oatmeal lasts until Friday.  But I do have cream of wheat.  So, I do have breakfast back up.   I worry about breakfast more than any other meal..

5.  I did remember to buy very very beautiful heavy oranges....  four of them... Six days until I can buy more.  I did not buy any bananas...my mistake.

6.  Wrote checks for things.  Everything is so expensive now...Trump really makes a mess of things when he's in office.  He was pretty shady paying his bills when he owned a business.....now he's running OUR business the same way.......  I haven't watched any news shows so I haven't seen him lately- the last time he was reclining on his desk- looked like his back had collapsed on him.   His chin was on the desk top. 

Well, almost. On the desktop.  Son fact checks me.....which is a good thing.... Keeps me on the straight and narrow......I do fabricate.

So that's that......We have more snow on the ground than I have seen in quite a few years- perhaps ten... So the grass under the snow is getting well hydrated...and will perhaps be green??????? this year.  What a THRILL that would be.......Snowdrops have overtaken the top of the tall glass container they are in. Nice and green and sturdy.... one Amaryllis has three leaves now.... a thorny cutting from the woman who was cutting my hair- has roots and several tiny red flowers.  I'm thinking of looking to see if I have sand to mix with potting soil so it can transfer to a clay pot.
