watch hummingbird drink from feeder with binoculars: imagine myself in a bird sanctuary on assignment. make notations as to types of birds observed. contemplate love affair with park ranger. realize, it won't work out. we're from two different worlds. there is a magical lunch in the tall grasses by the waterside, a tearful goodbye. a love letter caught on the wind.

scratch nose: realize: rotted-flower-water smell permeated hands. curse vase from whence it came.
wash hands with anti-bacterial rasberry gel from B&B.
get back to computer: grimace with the knowledge the soap has failed, think of what else will quell the smell.
lotion. it worked.
play with dogs: lose a ball on the roof. refuse to get it. get new ball. thank heaven that i have an aunt who plays tennis. wonder, how much it would cost to supply dogs with balls from year to year.

wonder why the wisteria is blooming this late in the season.
water all the pots- just bcs i like to play with water.
feel like mouth has taken on rotting water smell, brush teeth.

Baking soda is very good at taking away yucky smells. Also vinegar. Don't know why. Animal knocked over a vase (ok really a bottle, reduce, reuse, recycle...) that had been sitting too long with wilted sunflowers in it (those who know, know that sunflowers will last a week easy as cut flowers, so obviously, it had been awhile) the resulting mess on the table had an odor all its own. A liberal sprinkling of baking soda removed the unpleasantness. Almost like white washing. The pink is nice by the way. A touch of Cat in the Hat?
