IN Carmel

 The day started after a good night of rest.  So, onward and forward or something like that.  There was the usual yogurt with added things and then a wake up hour with my TV friends. The daylight hour brought a walk to fetch the paper and a look at the Dahlias who are in a bed on the way to the paper.  Good planning I would say.  More surprises are on the way. The morning hours were spent with finishing flower arrangements for the neighbor's party..  I call arranging just stuffing flowers in containers.  But arrangements sound a little glamorous.  There was nothing glamorous unless one thinks only about the flowers. There were Dahlias among the group snipped.  Filling six containers took some time and then I walked 4 to the neighbors.  I'm keeping the last two to be sure all holds up.  Artemisia sometimes gives me a headache.  I had a great phone visit with brother in law Dee. I miss the Georgia visits we once did each Thanksgi...

 I can't think of a song that uses the word Friday so I'll just start without it.  It was a very short night but I did a little addition while using the chair bed this morning.  I finally decided it might be my stomach talking to me so I took a Tylenol.  I'm allowed to do that.  So with all the usual morning stuff completed I did another usual thing.  The cart followed me around in the garden and it took a load of green stuff to the B Blue once again.   I moved a few pots on the patio.  Pulled out some stuff that needed pulling and the ever growing clovers made their contributions as they usually do.  The garden cart found it's way to the garage around 11 am.  Woo.  I was feeling bushed even though there were no bushes involved with the morning do.   I took time to sit a spell and eat lunch and then I sat a spell again until I decided to move on to what I knew was on the docket.  That was starting the process of ...

 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 ...

 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...

 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...

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...
