Sunday

 This morning was slow and poky.  Just like it should be.  I was a patio sitter for a while just watching what ever there was to watch.  I heard the BiG woodpecker several times but never saw him thinking if I sat very still he might visit.  That didn't work.   We were off to church.  There was good conversations with a few ladies about world wide communion Sunday, the first Sunday in October. The question...how can we visually and liturgically make this Sunday more meaningful to folks with world wide in mind, who will be with us. I went hunting with Heidi for some visual things somewhere which we could not locate.  So the brain wheels are starting to move.   Then it was on to the sanctuary for worship. He named the sermon Shoots and Ladders.  In the game, sometimes you are going forward and sometimes you are sent back.  That game is played throughout life.  Home again and I remembered the chicken wire for protection ...

 I'm trying to think how I can make this entry different than what you have read in the past.  Humm.  Can't think how I might fix that.  My days are pretty much the same in the summer.  Let's see if you agree.  One thing you might be questioning is how can she be in the garden so long EVERY day?                               This little gem has decided to grow.  It took a lot of thinking, it would seem. One answer I can give is that the garden is big and the plantings are huge and I made it that way because I love it that way.  Just a couple of years ago the thought came to mind about making another bed in the "empty" part of the backyard.  I quickly thought...bad idea.  Lets just do better in the current beds.         It doesn't look like much but I think it's exciting news.  We're adding red cannas to the garden soon....

 This morning started with buckets of energy.  After in the house morning stuff  I was in the garden looking for what ever needed looking for.  I was greeted as usual by the little bunny sitting in the middle of a clover patch as usually happens.  It took him a while to be on his way which didn't surprise me a bit.  I guess he's getting use to me.  I would like to see him on his way although I must admit the bunny food seems to be clover at this point.                                                The first of many.  Hibiscus tea coming one of these days.  The garden is starting to look mid-summer as the calendar would also agree with.  Things are pretty much the same every day although flowers are still filling out.  The second canna in the garden is showing yellow color although it has a...

                      Annual ageratum.  The kind I like.  There is a larger one that seeds itself everywhere.                                                                             've been trying to get ride of it for 50 years. Yes...it was another Ramona day.  That means it's a day with surprises and the unexpected.  So I was on my way to Noblesville or perhaps nearer to Cicero, to retrieve her or snag her or should we say have her join me in another car ride starting at 10:30. And ride we did.  All the way to the 1500 block of Ritter at Community East Hospital 60 minutes away.  I've  never been to that side of town and I found that area to be sort of inte...

\\It was a 3:30 wake up.  I must have had something on my mind.  So it was up around 4 with a good snooze in the chair as the day began.                          This little girl is way out ahead of very one else.  I guess she wants all the glory.                                                                        She just keeps on giving and there are more to come.   I call this a lost day that turned out to be a rather good day.  The 9:30 to 11:00 Endo went well.  All the pre and post stuff took much longer than the 15 minute Endo.  The doctor took very good pictures although they didn't make much sense to me.  She gave me good news.  And I'm an ea...

 Another virtual trip North. One can never have too many of those.                                                                               Too BIG to fit in the picture.  'm going to start this entry this morning.  It's that darn brain fog that makes me forget stuff.  Well, fog gets the blame.  Who knows for sure.  There was breakfast and then a Tylenol for what seemed a stir up of inside the body stuff.  Am I imagining  Maybe.  I decided to fertilize the Dahlias and then thought better would be a good watering and then fertilizing.  So the watering happened and the fert. will happen this evening.  I'm trying to stay clean meaning unmuddied this morning.         ...

                                                                           A nice little patch of marigolds. Today marks another trip around the sun.  Another day older for sure.  It's been a good day. I did a little work in the Herb Garden cleaning out a few things that needed attention.  It's sort of like brushing ones teeth.  A little after 10 Dot and Jill arrived to see the garden and they got a big tour.  It was fun to share a little of what makes me tick.  For the next few days or so the garden is in a place where it can take care of itself.  And I'm sure to let that happen filling the days with other necessaries.   Tomorrow I'm meeting Ramona at her oncologists office. Her friend Kim is in charge of that appointmen...
