 This will be short because the day was pretty short on all that happened.   There was unusual church which was pretty good with all that was going on with the regulars.   Everything happened that was supposed to happen and we all carried on even if most of the staff for many reasons were not there.  I'm wishing them all well and particular those who have Covid.  During the hospital stay they both came to visit but so far the body is staying strong and I am grateful.                               T he Becky Daisy's are coming on strong.  There is nothing quite like a Becky. The afternoon consisted of a great sleep and another soccer game with Brazil experiencing a big upset with Norway coming out on top.   That was followed with the once a month family zoom with all in attendance excepts some of the grandsons.  The garden received a big neglect...

The fourth!

Image
 This morning I felt sorry for the tomatoes.  So...water came their way as well as the Mexican Sunflowers and the other Sunflowers.  The last two were really malingering.  Poor things.  I have got to do a better job.  My excuse, good or bad in nature is they are far from the hose.  But with two gal. of water in each hand I managed to give them a great drink.  It should last for a while.  The Dahlias were refreshed as well and that was pretty much the watering story. I did forget the cucumbers who need a lot of water to make cucumbers.  I fixed that in the evening.                                         Ms. Tipsy.  For having a name like that I think she's doing well.                                     ...

                      This Dahlia is looking good.  It is far from the bunny paradise where food was free. Last night I pulled the hose off the roller so this morning IT was waiting for me.  And IT just would not go away.  Darn!  So as usual after putting it off with all the other things that get the morning moving I attached the sprinkler, set the devise to the shape needed and turned on the water.  Resetting happened with each bed that was watered and more beds were blessed with the far beds still waiting.  The job was sort of fun with the unexpected spray of water cooling me off from time to time.  So some places in the garden I'm hearing a sigh of relief from the week of heat.  I'm ignoring  those needing water.  Mean gardener! But please, the far bed is filled with mostly drought tolerant plants.                Tomorrow I'll...

Thursday

Could the heat be a problem naming the day correctly?  Maybe.  I wouldn't be surprised.                                               The canna are looking good stretching up tall and straight.  Another day to do what needs doing.  Another day for soccer.  Last night's USA game was a dozy.  Those boys just kept on going no matter what.  That's what a winner does.  And now we're on to more soccer today.   And as usual the day had a beginning again.  I can always depend on that.  There was a very slow breakfast on the patio,  What was watered yesterday looked pretty good.  And what wasn't seemed to be O K.  I made that decision because I just didn't want to pull the hose out.  I did a little bucket watering but not much.  Tonight the peppers seem to be asking for a dr...

       A Holly Hock living at the Jared Russell home.  Their seeds are also from friends in the U P. Adding another day to the week.  It's one of those repeats that keep happening.  So here's to Thursday.                        Most of our H H's are coming to an end with one exception just starting at the patio.                                                 What color will it be. All the seeds will be saved when dried on the stock.  It was another wide awake Thursday mornings that has been a part of my life for a long time.  Half light and half dark and I chose to put my feet on the floor again.  It was morning with Meeka and more.  I put my body on the patio at some point and thought about the morning.  Yes, water...

  Mother bunny was near by baby bunny seen in this picture.  Both eating clover.  Good bunnies.  Maybe. I'm sure you are looking for an blog explanation.  Well, at least some of you.  Saturday morning I started experiencing some strange pain unlike what I've ever had.  And eventually we were off to the ER for some explanations. Some things came easy and some things took a while.  So what became a short hospital ER trip turned into a four day hospital stay.                                                                                             Never disappointed.   The simple truth was the pancreas wasn't happy. Then the question what was causing it to feel gr...

                                               Calling the path planting finished.  Now it needs time to fill in. So what happened today?  It's so easy to forget when it's a busy day.  And it was busy for this older lady.  It was a 5:30 morning and the bed felt pretty good so I stayed a bit longer.  Then 8:10 came pretty quickly after all the morning stuff was finished.  I was off to I U North for the infusion morning which went very well again.  It always has and I have no reason to expect that not to continue.                       Rise and shine.  Ms. Tipsy is showing all her stuff.  More buds are coming right along. I had my to do list I wrote up last night so after the infusion, I was off to Ace Hardware collecting everything in a ...
