DailyNotes for Friday, June 19th. Sunshine here in Maine and 74 degrees......It will get warmer as the day goes on.

 Scabiosis.   Pretty in Purple.

Well, I didn't sew anything but I did read quite a few pages in my book and haven't reached half way as yet. I found a rubber band and some bobby pins and got my hair up off my neck...all this while waiting for the "promised" TORNADO to hit Maine...  It did NOT.

Watching Soccer has always gotten me interested in pulling my hair into a top knot.  And it's long enough now to almost STAY in the top knot.  I searched the drawers looking for more hair pins...Grocery will have some.

We have 74 degrees and Sunshine today.  Grocery Shopping in 30 minutes...Son waits for my oatmeal to enter my blood stream and level out.  There is no where to sit down in the grocery store if my blood pressure tanks......... we found that out the hard way. In the first year he was living with me. They have chairs in the Pharmacy...and a doctor.

I have the sheets off my bed and ready for the washing machine...which takes forever so I will be doing that AFTER we get home with groceries.  I rotated the king mattress...meaning I spun it around a half turn to the right.  Top is now bottom...  I used to be able to "flip" the mattress but this new one has only one usable SIDE...so it gets SPUN. Fresh Sheet Day is always a Special Day...for me.

I waited all afternoon for the TORNADO...there was some spotty high wind.  No Tornado. Rain watered the lawn...thank you!!!!  Someday the Lawn Guys will cut the grass........

I have a line up of World Cup Soccer to choose from today...and the last two hot dogs for Luncheon. I need to think about what to buy for next week's lunches.  I can always "fall back" to Grilled Cheese with Pickles".... and cold chicken nuggets.

I may have already written this but yesterday I was thinking about two Hallmark movies I actually wanted to see again...imagine my SURPRISE when they were on the Hallmark channel right then...back to back. I watched them while getting Tornado Alerts.  I then checked  the listings for today and found two more. Back to Back.  And set them to record... It's usually the actors that I like...all the Hallmark Movies are the SAME.  But the actors can turn something Ick into something Okay.  There is one more I like and it has, so far, NOT EVER been on a second time....

Daily Notes- June 18th. Clouds and Rain here in Maine.. Can hear the Rain Pounding down on the roof. We have a Tornado Watch from now until 7 pm.

Oddly enough this one came without a name.

 Well, I was up late reading and then up late getting out of bed...just now at 1:20 finishing up washing my breakfast dishes.  Oatmeal and Coffee.

And yes to Marianne in Germany....I did watch that game...I usually watch two and sometimes three matches.  I love seeing the happy families in the audience...men holding babies etc.  

My neck bones are snapping and crackling as usual...quite noisy.

I had some fabric scraps that went together so I sewed them into rectangles and squares while watching the Soccer.  I even tried out a few soccer hairstyles with my now almost touching my shoulders white puffy hair.  I need to find one of those black bands the guys wear to hold their hair back.

The Guys Who Cut the Grass will not be coming today...but we need the rain.

Tomorrow is Grocery Day.  I can put finished books in the return slot but the Library will be closed. Juneteenth.

The Rain is really coming DOWN now.... I think I will go look for something with long sleeves ....and then settle in to read a very unexpected book.  The author has surprised me.  Booked For The Summer. It reminds me of another book... which I will search for....I hope the Soccer doesn't get rained out.

I also am looking forward to hot dogs for lunch,,,,,  

Daily Notes- Wednesday, June 17th. Some Sunshine and cool temps this morning. No reason to be awake.

 Rothko.  Number Five

I found  some ART so we'll be having that as the week closes on us.  I can see this in cloth....as something I could have around here to bring me JOY.  Visually.

I "noticed" Rothko later in Life but wish I had paid some attention to his work in college- but perhaps he wasn't well known then??? I could do research but actually am not that interested.  I might be interested in making this out of cloth..... just for my own entertainment.

Pollack is also of interest to me... throwing paint at the canvas...or pouring it....

I am up very very early and will regret it as the day goes on and on and on.  I don't have much to occupy myself so will run out of things to do early in the day...... I do have Soccer. And the heating pad for my poor stiff neck muscles.  I can hear the bones...when I move my head.

My neck bones are already painful so I will stop typing and sit with the heating pad and hopefully fall asleep.  The Sun is creeping slowly (on cat paws) into Maine.  The day begins.

Daily Notes for a Cloudy Damp Morning in Maine. June 17th. Awake at 6 am.

 Rhubarb Pie.

I am considering making one.  It's been awhile since I tried baking.  I have rhubarb in the freezer.

Dampness outside.  But the Sun is shining in its mild morning way.  A few streaks of light across the back lawn.  Some shine on the mailbox out front.  Everything is GREEN.

Soccer is all I think about...When will it be on TV....who is playing........Messi yesterday- a Hat Trick. Three goals.

Well, I have breakfast to find and eat....then some meds for the tight muscles in my neck.  Then perhaps resting while looking at the ceiling..... there was no walk to the end of the street yesterday....I doubt there will be one today...

I haven't a clue why I am awake so early....but perhaps because I am hungry?????

Daily Notes for Tuesday, June 16th.....Mix of Sunshine and Dark Clouds here in Maine.

 Strawberry Pretzel Pie.  Not making or eating a slice. But do have frozen berries in the freezer.

The SUN comes and goes as I am typing....My Peonies are in bloom...pink, white and magenta.

I have so MUCH MORE SOCCER to watch today....And additional hot dogs for luncheon. Would be perfect with chips but I didn't buy any. And don't need extra salt holding water in my huge ankles.

I've run out of Tiny Toddler Ice Cream Cups.

My book yesterday was a four out of five- perhaps if I am brutally honest.... a three out of five stars. Either I have matured (gasp) or the author has slacked off.......but I really do appreciate a more robust EDIT.  And why did we need all the cats??????? And FIVE WHOLE MINUTES of Paint Ball???? I wish I recalled the title of book with the Real  Company Outing Paint Ball Fight..... people did visit the ER.

I think a bird just flew into the front windows.... or I suppose it could be the back windows.

Well, World Cup Soccer can't watch itself so I guess I need to get back to it.  Son has just driven off for a nice drive and lunch.    In the low slung sports car****........top down.

***a can get into the car but I can't get OUT of the car.....it's okay to laugh..
