Daily notes- Tuesday May 5th....Sunshine here in Maine. 64 degrees.

 Oats. Again.  I have a large bowl of microwaved oats each morning.... Internet sent me a new image... Internet is stuck on oatmeal.  Weird but true.

I do not eat my oats with a glowing golden spoon.  Would if I could?  No.

I had a shower this morning and my hair is quite curly and bouncy after being washed. I still wish someone would check on my shower head as it is still spraying water up and also down...just a bit UP but that could change at any moment in Time....to a Full Hosing of the ceiling....which is NOT TILE.

I am not reading the book I thought I was going to be reading......you can laugh... go ahead.  Instead I have  checked out the one where the government hitman is living with the small town Police Chief...    I thought I was reading a different Linda Howard book.  I like this one. So it will work out okay.  I might look for the other one on Friday.. 3.5 days from now. Unless I already have it on my book shelf...I'll go look.  

My neighbor replied to my query regarding her landscaper....seems he is overloaded with customers and his back up guy is now loaded up with the HIS overload... No one is happy and no one  is taking ANY new business.   So my yard will remain untended for a third year in a row. The grass will get mowed. Period. After I grapple with downed tree limbs.

And some of you thought living in Maine was GREAT...No.  Just No.   

There are some large (fallen) tree branches that need moving before the lawn guys show up and mow around them....for sure they won't move them. Daughter would but she's at work.

One of my front yard bushy tree like shrubs has got little red/pink flowers on it this morning.  Not yesterday.  Wow.  Just noticed it as I glanced out the front window.... then stood up to make sure I wasn't imagining things.  Flowers?  Yes!!!!  Some Good Gardening News.

That's it....no clue as to what I will watch...but I think I will read until there is Soccer...

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...
