Daily Notes- Thursday September 10th. Sunshine here in Maine and 81 degrees. Heat Wave.

 How is this for Coastal Living?????  In Maine.  sort of a gigantic House Boat.

So 81 degrees- hotter than it's been all summer.  I think.  Cool in the house as I rarely if ever have windows open which reminds me...be back in a second...

Bedroom windows were open overnight for cool air...now it's not cool air....and they are closed.

Continuing to read True Love......we haven't gotten to the best parts yet.  And I actually am wanting to get to book two which I sort of like a great deal.  I think.  We'll see.

Daughter brought over some very large plastic hair things... claws.  Now my hair is starting to thin and any pulling . ANY ....it comes out of my scalp.  At the rate it's going I will be wearing a hat the rest of my life. Soon.  So big plastic claw clips...no....but perhaps I can re-use them to do something else around here?

Son has gone out for lunch with the top down on his sports car.  Nice. For September.

Well, the couch is calling my name and I do want to read my book before I start watching  Hudson and Rex.  In the early episodes (on now) John Reardon's hair is very curly and longer than usual.

Hot dogs yesterday and hot dogs today.... Life is good.

Daily Notes- Wednesday September 9th. Cloudy and 62 degrees. No chance of rain.

 Another image of Maine.

I would only need to drive 15- 20 minutes along the coast here to see something like this image.  I am close enough to smell the ocean but not to be able to see it.  I also can sometimes have sea birds flying over.  Those trees look like my backyard.  Only 30 years taller.  I can see the sky if I look  straight UP.

No Chance of Rain so the brown and beige lawn will continue.

My iPhone has a recipe for Pie Crust waiting for me...if only I had something to fill that crust...but I don't. I will finish reading High Tide today.... the couple is searching the swamp for GOLD...this is where the alligators come into the plot. 

I heated up my prepared Meat Loaf Dinner yesterday..wish I had gotten a second one. Have Hot Dogs for today. So that makes me smile.  French Fries would be welcomed..but I have none.  Onion rings..oh my!!! But don't have those either.

So...today...I already have the living room lamps turned on.  I fluffed up the  pillows and I'm ready to assume my place on the couch.  Sewing and book to my left...TV up front.... there is some British Soccer. There is much more Hudson and Rex.  There is Arnica for the my muscles in my neck that cannot relax. Neck bones that actually make noise when I move my head.....

Heating Pad...Couch....TV...... Hot dogs later.....it's enough..well, it HAS to be enough doesn't it? 

Daily Notes for Tuesday September 8th. High Tide (book) and few alligators is actually pretty good.

Well, I give up...words want to be centered today....The Deveraux book does have alligators but really the two people are on the run (in a car) from being arrested for murder.  And the actual murderer wants to kill them. Right now they are in a very expensive hotel the Taggert family has found for them...I often think the Taggerts are way richer than the Montgomerys...

I sort of prefer the Montgomery Men and the Taggert Women..

And we have center alignment yet again and NO, I do not know how to get rid of it even thought I have used this program for DECADES.  And have eventually found the way to fix the problem...But not today.

My hair is gathered up at the  back of my head near my neck...just to get it out of my way.  I usually gather it higher into a Soccer grouping but today...not in the mood. The stretchy band holding things together is loose.  Not pulling my hair out of my scalp.

I think we might go to the Library today...it was closed yesterday and that was our regular day. Or Not. 

We are going after he has his lunch.. I have a bag full to return.

I have enough books in the bookcase to keep me occupied (if we didn't go) and I have all these cloth strips to sew into strange squares.... I actually wanted to find a certain fabric for the latest square but NO luck..I think I might start another fresh one and see if the missing cloth shows up...eventually. It usually does. 

Show up when I give up and start something else.

The Sun is shining and the grass is becoming more brown as we entered September.

Less tan and more brown. 

The many many WEEDS continue to grow and stay very very green.

What a very strange Summer it has been.

Daily Notes for Monday September 7th. Sunshine and 66 degrees at 10:16.

 Canadian Bees. Will they be allowed to cross the border into Maine?????? To pollinate the blueberries?

The Wine Project went no where...but could be reconsidered as the year ends....or next year. We needed the counter space for pizza making...it was a Sunday after all.

No Library today.  Son mentioned it being closed...for some reason.....well, I discovered today is Labor Day.  It's right here on the desk calendar.  (under the keyboard).

I did pull the Alligator/SWAMP book from the bookcase. But didn't start reading it. Yet.  I got entangled with the New Foundland Police Procedural (Hudson and Rex) on the Happy Cable Channel (1426?).  With the interchangeable lead male characters.  The Dog is the same Dog.????  NO,

Well, in one RECENT episode they actually had 5 dogs...all identical.  So I imagine there have always been 5 dogs. Each with a different set of skills. All of them named REX.  Yesterday's REX climbed  on the roof of a house and thru an open window and took down the bad guy.  Even though it's all nice and happy..they do have dead bodies, guns etc.  Blue Skies had some violence as well...same channel. People rarely if ever kiss...

I noticed we have an abundance of food selections in the fridge ..Pizza, Grilled Cheese  and Hot Dogs,.  I requested hot dogs as I do enjoy them very much in the Summer Months.  And today IS a Holiday..... but usually I love a Grilled Cheese with so MANY pickles.  

Well, that's about it for news.  The couch is preparing itself for me to spend the day.  I did watch Arsenal Soccer yesterday...one yellow card after another. No one got a red card- means they get ejected from the game.  There might be a monetary punishment as well.  But they all make tons of money. Millions in the three digits.  Lovely hair styles.  The Soccer Rom Com's I have found to read.... laughing.  Might pull one of them off the shelf for today.  I'm sure a match is on the telly today...or recorded in the TiVo.
