My short "to-do" list is lengthening daily due to neglect. Important chores such as transferring all anniversary and birthday dates from the 2018 calendar to this year's new one, vacuuming the thin garlic skins from their hiding place under the kitchen counters, chasing cobwebs seen only when the sunlight hits them, and on and on.................
The temperature dipped to 23 degrees by 7 am this morning and will probably reach 35 up here on the mountain for our afternoon high. During the day there's no fire in the stove because with the brilliant sun beaming through the windows, the house stays around 72. Around 4pm, we fire up the stove as the sun slides down the western side of our mountain. I'm excited about gaining over a minute of daylight each day. It's too beautiful an afternoon to do menial tasks but the perfect afternoon to stretch out on the couch, in the sun, with a cup of hot tulsi tea and dive back into my book. I found this old paperback in our free recycle hut at one of our transfer stations months ago when we dumped the trash and recycled our glass and plastics. Free is good! At the time it was published back in the early 2000's, Skinny Dip received rave reviews as funny and very entertaining reading. Carl Hiaasen writes with slapstick humor, bitter irony, and comical delivery. It's easy and enjoyable reading, as much fun as standing in the greeting card aisle in Ingles laughing aloud while hunting for friends and relatives birthday cards. I'll get back to my menial chores when I finish the book.
