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..

Daily Notes on A very nice Monday Morning in Maine. June 15th.

 Zinnias..again.

I have ceiling fans going in dining room and here in the tv side of the living room.  Moving air around. I have more World Cup Soccer recorded...so will watch that and perhaps sew small bits of cloth to other small bits of cloth........ I got up in the middle of the night to search my bookcase for a book I recalled. I used the flash light to find it... then I could go back to sleep.

I was looking for Summer Things in my closet this morning....short sleeved linen shirts.  The camp shirts LLBean made for old time summer campers.  Summer Camps were a good source of income for Mainers Now the shirts are tapered and not SQUARE and I don't find them comfortable in the least.  Even in extra large.  So I wear the old old old ones I found at Goodwill.. But not out of the house.

It might rain today...or has already rained this morning.  The guys will NOT be mowing the grass???? Ah a bit of sunshine breaking thru...things will heat up as there is zero breeze out there.

I was going to check the garage and see if we still owned the lawn mower....but I recall selling it... I recall trying to sell everything run on gasoline so my husband couldn't set himself on fire.

We are getting into the monthly family birthdays.  The family still alive. 

Ah, the Sun is Breaking Thru.... and I need to make oatmeal and eat it....no newspaper as it's Monday. I have to collect the recycling and garbage for tomorrow morning's collection.  Perhaps shred more paper.

If it's not too warm I will try to walk up to the DEAD END SIGN ( entrance to our street) and back.  Once. My Summer Exercise Program.  I feel free to turn back toward home at any point...even if it's only to the end of the driveway.  I know my limits......

Daily Notes from a Sunny Sunday in Maine. June 14th.World Cup Soccer.

 Hockney painting.  Never too late for me to begin.  Painting.

I am submerged in World Cup Soccer.  Son gets the TV going for me and I sit and watch....I have noticed an increasingly amount of bad behavior.  Uncalled for.  Germany is playing today.

Neck Bones making the usual cracking sounds....... they are shouting "we are old bones"

A Surprise Jelly Donut yesterday....the bakery was open when Son walked by and they had two doughnuts. They really are the very most delicious pastries in the World.  Today in Pizza Day.  If it wasn't I'd have Hot Dogs (because it's Hot Dog Week).

Well, I don't have much else to share with you today...

I read ZERO pages in my book yesterday...yes...ZERO Pages.

Take care, let me know how you plan to spend this nice Sunday in June.
