Monday, May 4th....back in business. Cloudy and 55 degrees here in Maine.

 Lots of Floral Images here on the "net" this morning.  My daffodils have gone by as they say and need dead heading.....now I did go out and do that last Spring...but not feeling like I want to this Spring.  I imagine that is the numerical activity difference between 79 and 80 years of age.

The Narrowing of the Limits of Age.  Perhaps the new subtitle of this Blog????

I stumbled upon a blog writer that was a daily addition to my computer usage quite awhile ago...and there she was...I read her very very long post and did NOT add her to my list.  Been there ...done that....wasn't going to be able to follow any of her leads..... sigh.  "A Way to Garden"

Son and I made Sunday Pizza yesterday- as fantastic as usual.....we also tucked my two sweet potatoes in the hot oven....I get all sorts of good things from the bright orange insides of the potatoes.  They are also a nice container for melting Swiss cheese.  Some Vintage CSI: Miami completed the day.

I've lost this post twice now and had trouble getting back here....so I think I might stop while I am ahead so to speak.   No idea how I will spend today....but reading seems to be uppermost... I never did read ANYTHING yesterday......I was mending the elbow of my old sweater and then noticed the cuff on my right sleeve was dangling...so that needed repair.  Which involved looking for the small piece of black wool I use as backing to the embroidery floss.  One can loose ones self in the Sewing Room...So much  to sort thru....in the end...black wool was right next to my couch.  Where I used it last.  The sleeve cuff of my sweater is now heavily reinforced.  Ready for another Winter....NOW to search for the remainder of that black wool sweater........

I have on a faded blue work shirt....not a Lactiva Dye Works one...just an old stained one...from some store that no longer exists.....one or two I held back so they retain- their color (blue)- and are still in "clean" condition... the others are all worn, faded almost white blue, stained and patched and soft...not threadbare as yet.... but...I might need to add a sweater.....it's gotten colder as I sat here typing.. 

Well, I need wool socks and a sweater.....even in May--Maine is cold.

Daily Notes- Sunday May 3rd. Sunny with Clouds.

 I had trouble with the keyboard and mouse and didn't;t list...more tomorrow.

Daily Notes for Saturday May 2nd. Rain, clouds and a new desk calendar page.

 I've spent some time pasting a few things on this new calendar month. some line drawings I made and a few other things....

I love the simplicity of this kitchen.  I'd get rid of the small carpet.  I'd like a window over the sink. Or across from the sink like mine is.

I had a whole post written and decided I didn't like any of it.   I'm at this point...where I dislike almost everything and think most things are too tedious to actually get involved in....... or are so beyond my physical capabilities that sitting on the couch is all I can do...safely.

I haven't chosen a book to read as yet.....I did get a Baker and Taylor book off the FREE BOOK cart.- a book the library "rented' instead of buying...I guess they decided not to return it to its owner either. It's  a mystery thriller type....I have a few in the bookcase- not this author though.  I checked out two Linda Howard books yesterday...both are creepy.  But I know what happens  (read multiple times) no one dies. so I am okay reading the safe pages and skipping the not safe ones.

I bought Tessa Bailey's new book...Catch Her If You Can...  got to page 31 and that's as far as I am going. I had high hopes for it being as great as the earlier books.....not happening.

So that's it for today...

Daily Notes for Friday May First. Sunshine here in Maine but CHILLY.

 Yellow flowers today.  I'm not a real fan but husband liked all things yellow.

Grocery Shopping and dropping off books at the Library.  Regular Friday stuff.  Warmer weather is always a nice addition to Friday Chores.  Figuring out what jacket to wear is the most difficult part of Friday.

I've been adding more cheese to my regular Toasted Cheese Sandwiches. More pickles as well.  That's about as interesting as my day gets......and it's really topped up the interest for me.

I should stop typing right now....but I did read my two favorite Devereaux books back to back... and stayed up past midnight with both...good times.  Very very good times.

So I have been asked about my "energy levels" post oatmeal and I replied they are excellent...so we'll be leaving for the grocery store in minutes......I have on a cotton shirt and not a fleece or sweater today.  May prove to be TOO SOON and I might need to change over to something "warmer"..... one never knows here in Maine as the OCEAN sends a Chill Air over us even in July and August.  Certainly in May.

Well, I have to get my brain in gear for grocery shopping....so I have the correct amount of food in the fridge to keep me happy.  Bananas this week???...Potassium. I have two pears and an apple in the fruit bowl... left over from other shopping days.  I might check out the oranges....... I always like them.  

My Annual Flu shot may actually have a positive effect on Dementia...good news.

I got Bananas and some salted mixed nuts....as a "treat".  Skipped the ice cream.
