Thursday

 Well, I woke up this morning,  with my mind...stayed on NOTHING.  Really NOTHING.  It was time for nothing.  And I just took nothing to really mean nothing. What ever came along I would be happy with. But there was nothing on my mind.   So after the morning stuff I walked the garden and thought it might be time to snip all the Becky Daisy's that were telling me that the good life was over.  So I snipped the spent daisy's of which there were many.  But many were left and the second generation of daisy's seemed to be on their way to replacing the spent generation.  When the cart following me was full, I called it a snipping morning of success. Neighbor Kathy walked over carrying a basket of vases that I'm filling for a party planned for their lawn area on Saturday.  It's always a pleasure to provide something from the garden for the yard party each year. I checked out all the Dahlias and when the phone buzzed I took a look and found ...

Wednesday

 Two big things happened today.  That was enough.  But the night was crazy.  A total of 4 hours of shut eye.  Why not more.  Who has the answer.  Certainly not me.  So I went with four.  Better than three.  That means the say came early and all the usual stuff happened.   The first of two big things.  I worked in the garden finishing up all the little stuff that was over looked on the first go around.  But only in one area.  So the cart followed me around for a bit.   Then the second was a bit bigger.  I did a run to Nora to pick up some medicine for Ramona.  Made another run about an hour later but received a cancel the trip notice.  So I canceled but continued on the road to once again move her on to the eye doctor again.  After some delays we made it to the doctor right at the 2 o'clock hour meaning we were on time.  That is if one does not live by the motive of early is on t...

Tuesday

 What I called a crazy night of rest...4 hours of sleep 2 hours of awake with horrible TV.  Then back to bed with another 4 hours of sleep.  Nights are very interesting to say the least.  Makes me wonder what tonight will bring.  But a total of 8 hours of aleep.  That's very good.   Today was a garden day.  It started around 9 and I made it till 11:30.  There should be more happening but today was enough for today.  Well at least enough for the morning. The paths look like paths again with weeds scrapped out.  That was a big job.  I went on to the Herb garden where I knew there were weeds.  That garden looks refreshingly better.  Then on to the big butterfly garden and mercy...there were so many butterflies landing, then flying and then landing again.  It was fun to watch.  I've always thought that color invites them in and then the pollen keeps them coming back for more.  The air was filled with d...

Monday

Picture efforts has gone a rye.  Andrew HELP!    It was a very short night.  They happen on their own time.  I wish it wasn't so but there's not much I can do about it. Morning always comes just like it did this morning.   I slid into the day slowly and then the pace picked up.  I sewed 10 more burps.  Did more knitting finishing another scarf tonight and then gathered everything together for a trip to church and then on to James and Heidi's place for a thinking together session.   Darren asked me to put button holes in four Chasable to accommodate a microphone placement.  It's one down and three to go picking the three up at church today.  I always get a bit nervous when doing something that I haven't done for a couple of years.  The button hole landed in the right place with the right size. There is a bit of time until the three are needed.   Then on to the three of us having a great thinking session and w...

 So far, so good.  Remember those little 4 words.  Well, they come in handy today                                                        Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy. It's Sunday, Sunday.  And we were off to church a little earlier today wanting to join grandson Andrew while singing in the summer choir.  And we did.  It was fun and the best of all was singing a Bach piece.  Easy and beautiful as only Bach does from time to time.  I've sung some tough ones but today was easy.  It was a delight to see Andrew again back home from a summer of working at the church camp that he attended as a kid.             A very sad morning.  It's tear down time with Copper Harbor over.  I'll never forget that feeling. It was the blessing...

Saturday

It's been spurts of busy and spurts of lazy.  It's my kind of day at least for today.  The thunder is rolling as I type.  It would seem a big, huge, impressive storm is coming our way.  I hope the garden survives.   The day started with rain.  My job was to do some cutting in the garden for a 9:00 church arrival time to do some flowers for the altar.  I moved it to ten allowing for a clothes change.  Heidi also did some garden cutting and we met at 10 in the sanctuary.  And here are the results.  Right Side arrangement...                                                                              Left side arrangement.                      ...

Friday

 Another day of doing.  First at home and then at other places.  I fetched the paper and snipped three more Dahlia's for the vases.  Remembering, the more I clip, more will appear.  That really works.  The rest of the garden was a joy to see.  So many happy colors for so many butterflies and bees to enjoy landing spots.   This is a butterfly mystery.  As you can see the butterfly is on the floor in the dining room.  That is where I found it this afternoon..  It hatched somewhere in the house but where and when and why?  It was moving very slowly so the hatching part had just happened.  It's all a total mystery.  Besides this one there were many others in the garden. We just added one more. That's a first for sure.   I finished another knitted scarf and added it to the scarf basket.  There is one area of scarf knitting when  at one time I would sweat bullets to complete.  Not so now. ...
