 Up and ready to go for something.  What ever came I was ready.  There were phone calls to make but I just piddled the time away and sure enough my PT friend called and I was caught and a time was scheduled.  In the mean time I planted some tiny zinnias and the six Lantana.                            The three dark spots near the top of the picture are zinnia plants that have been watered.  They will be treated like preemies for a while.  Mr. PT arrived, and I had my usual work out with emphasis on improving the challenge of less tipping over the out-of-control way.  There are more sessions planned.  There was the usual snooze during the day.  Last night sleeping was a bit sparce again.   I made the decision to do some edging and the two pictures show the difference one can make with a little attention to details.                                              Before the shovel cane by.

 It was a slow morning and one that I totally enjoyed.  Sleeping has improved somewhat with the hope that saying that will encourage it to continue.                                      Once little but now big.  The lilac bush is just bursting out all over.   The biggie today was a trip to the neurologist, Dr. Schmoll.  Much to my surprise she told me we had met already.  Yup...in the emergency room on March 17.  Well, I was there but I wasn't there. And I didn't arrive until the next day.  So a few more holes were filled in.  One being the seizure started around 11 and then diminished during the afternoon but did not totally abate until late evening.  I call that a long seizure.  So the outcome will be to continue the anti seizure medicine which so far is working beautifully and we'll get together again in October.  I can do that!   There are restrictions and I can live with them.  I won't like it but I can do it. Safe is so much better than sorry.  The cause is still

 Another day with a lot of stuff going on but the day started with a slow go.  Doug got to sleep in.  I had a quiet start.  No rush out the door for us this morning.   I spent some time watching the Blue Birds.  There was a lot of flying going on making me think that there were eggs hatching this morning.  I didn't check it out but the adults certainly were making trips to the mealworms and then back to their box.                                                                              A blue bird in flight.  So pretty.                                                             Mr. is checking out the meal worm feeder.                           A 7 PM check told me that my morning suspicions were correct.  We have babies.  At 10:30 we headed to I U North to visit with the Heart PA to hear about the two week heart monitor report.  And the report was that Supraventricular Tachycardia was still occurring but no change in medication was thought needed.  It was a surprise to me bec

 This will be short because not much happened today.  That's a very, very good thing and a celebration is in order.  That really means it's nap time.             The blood root has finished blooming but the leaves are so unusual, They demanded a photo. I was up early and Miss Daisy woke up her driver again.  He once again had an early gig.  Appointments made since March 17th have all been at least past 11 am or later.  Poor guy, he doesn't function to well without those mornings of what I call sleeping in. Another descriptive way of thinking of it might be called wasting the morning hours.  He would never agree with that.                                 This picture reminds me of Where's Waldo.  Yes...can you find the milkweed.                                                                                                 It's beginning to burst out all over.  We were off to the 9 am dentist appointment which really just resulted in a good cleaning.  It was my first

 Today was one of those crazy days that comes along.  One to get through.  In fact today was the beginning of a week of getting through.  And knowing that there will be an end to the week helps with all the stuff that is part of the week.  I spent some time at the window watching the B Bird house and looking for ORANGE birds.  Nothing orange came by.  When watching the house I was sure that the mother was out and about but I was WRONG! Then it was on to  completing a job I hate.  That is preparing 56 plastic bags for Bread and Bowl carry out food.  It needed to be finished before Saturday because we'll be short workers.  So it's "money in the bank" toward Saturdays work.  Then Miss Daisy had her driver take her to downtown Indy and the Simon Cancer Center to meet with Dr. Langer, a very quiet doctor who supervised all the radiation treatments a couple of years ago.  I heard a good report about the ordered CT scan which was completed last Friday. A lung xray has been o

 It's been a pretty easy day, a true day of rest. This morning was church and another great service of music, prayer and sermon. The theme for the morning was caring for the earth honoring Earth Day.  And as we left the church the table offering free garden seeds was a busy one.  Of course I came home with a fist full of seed envelopes.   There was time to text the Michigan family.  Jacob played his last concert as a freshman this afternoon.  Finals are this week and then his first year at Michigan State as a music major is a thing of the past.   There was time for sleeping and then walking the garden with a little weed pulling and discovering that the common milkweed are making their appearance once again in the garden.  It was entertaining to find them.  The crop will be large if they keep appearing at the rate I found them today.  Years ago, probably at least 12, maybe more I sprayed the weeds in the garden where the milkweed had been prolific.  It was early spring and no milkwe

Saturday

 It's been a wonderful day.  It was a cold start when retrieving the paper and checking on the birds.  I was a little hesitant in going back outside but I put on my fleece pullover, long sleeved shirt and grabbed the garden tools.  I worked on the gazing ball changing a few things that made me feel better.  It's a bit more solidly anchored in its dish of Russell marbles.   Then I moved on to spreading preen on another flowerbed that will have a fresher look this year.  That meant fluffing the bed getting rid of any potential weeds that could have started to grow but were still out of sight.  It's ready for a lot of Lantana, loved by the butterflies.  Spring has also started in Michigan with three soccer games for the day spread between two boys.  Eli had two and Adam one.  And what you see flying across the sky is not apple blossoms but snow.  I don't think it goes well with green grass, but it is what it is.   I spent some time just watching and waiting in case the Ori
