Daily Notes- Wednesday, February 18th. Bright Sun reflecting off the SNOW. 40 degrees

Tulips....and I like the shed in the background also.  Strong reminder of my Grandmother's backyard.  Just realized that as I looked at the image.  She had long beds of flowers in her backyard...grape vines to the left along the driveway.  Peach and Plum trees. Red Current bushes along the back of the property. A vegetable garden over to the right...

I loved that house, that yard, that neighborhood. I was happiest there. And then never again after we moved.

I was more my Grandmother's Child than my parents.  Until my ninth birthday. We moved and I hardly saw much of her until my college years....when she and my grandfather moved closer to our neighborhood. And then I was married and living far far away.......always.  Every time we moved we moved farther away...then across an ocean......

So...on that less than happy note.......still reading Fast Women.... Lunch will be a Grilled Cheese with Pickles or a bowl of grocery store soup.....I'm thinking the Grilled Cheese will be the winner.

Not much else going on- some Curling later this afternoon...an orange for snack.....daughter took a large bag of Kitchen Things  (still in boxes) to Goodwill.  She'll check out the used book area.... I am still reading Fast Women........we checked with each other and neither of us was ever going to use any of the Kitchen. Things.....some because they had very sharp blades in them....
