Sunday Morning.

 The song...I owe the Lord a morning song...of gratitude and praise.  For the kind mercy He has shown in lengthening out my days.  That was my mothers song often heard as she made breakfast on Sunday morning. She was not such a great singer (alto) but I remember those words so well.    Those memories help to carry the day for me.  

So another Sunday...This one is really special since on Feb. 14th...a few, well more than a few years ago, Jared, our second son was born.  What a blessing our boys have been to us.  And this morning by text, I have pictures of two sweet lambs that were born on their farm near Midland Mi. early this morning.  One is black and one is white. Yes...this is lambing season.  So far...5 live births and 2 not.  4 boys and a girl.  More to come soon.  What a gift...were Jared's words.  I love getting texts from the grandsons about all the barn events.  

A second attempt of sleeping in bed was an attempt that I'm willing to pass for a while.  My back and leg and head sites just don't make it an easy thing to do so I'll be happy to be in the chair again with my electric throw.  That's a wonderful friend to have.  Another attempt at another time.  

This morning at 11 was time for church at North.  It was sooo good.  This afternoon EWTN will be broadcasting the Messiah.  What a treat to have more music to hear.  

It would appear that today will be a quiet day for which I am grateful  God be near...God is near.

    Love the words to that song your mom sang. It sure is exciting hearing about the newborn lambs and seeing pictures. We sure are happy you had Jared so we could be so blessed! Many gifts from the Lord. Sorry your bed experience did not go so well. Hopefully soon. Electric throws are indeed wonderful friends to have. Continuing to pray for your healing! Sending love and hugs!

    Thinking of you and Doug as we gaze out the kitchen window watching the snow fly. It's comforting to know you are there and healing in your chair, under the warm blanket. I send love and prayer straight to your heart and spirit across the deeper still white, deer-path, owl-flight yards. You are supported and held up to our loving Lord every day, more than once.

This time I hope I'm back for a very long time.  The computer with pictures is finally a go and all the excitement of Sunday is over.   I don't know if I've recovered yet.  There are a few more days before the next Sunday.   For those few who don't know it was another hospital stay of a couple of days.  And it all started in the pew at church with a pass out  seizure type of thing. I think something to do with high sugar perhaps.  The whole service came to a halt for a while.  How embarrassing with a carry out by the good old EMTS.   Lots of tests I guess.  I don't remember a thing until Sunday evening with a trip into a scan machine.  I got released Tuesday and today I visited my primary care doctor for answers and I'm pretty well satisfied.  Two days in bed have really made me wobbly so I'm pretty careful about moving around.  It should get better soon.  I won't be driving for a while because of the seizure.  That's a huge bummer.  The seizure medi

 A day that's been a little slow.  I guess that's OK now and then.   The morning included a yucky bird feeder clean out.  I got tired of looking at it and it was almost empty so there was my chance.  The blue bird was seen often and the pair of red bellied wood peckers enjoyed the suet.  I saw on facebook a guard that is easy to put together to keep sparrows out of the blue bird house.  It's worth a try made with wire and fishing filaments and fishing weights.  I need a wire cutter first.                                                                    For a while both Mr. and Mrs. were visiting.  Then it was to the sewing machine.  The day produced three bags.  I need to get the collection on their way to Michigan.  I made a couple for the Carmel grandsons.  The pace was slowed with a finger cut with the rotary cutter.  What a bleeder I produced.  I will say this is the first slash I gave myself in more than ? years of sewing.  I think it's time for a fresh dressing

Kimmy did it again.  She guided me to the spot where now there is a change made in the blog settings  allowing comments.  If you had a google account you could do that already.  At least  that's what I think I'm reading.  So comment away when you want to.  Will be fun.                             I'm looking forward to a whole bunch of different zinnias this summer.   Finger report.  It's doing fine with a major clean up today. One reason for no butterfly but a small club is to pad the site.  Typing is improving.  The day brought more sewing with four more bags completed and one waiting for velcro which should arrive tomorrow via Amazon.  Another package of D rings should be included to finish up a few cover ups.  It's been a busy sewing season with some new challenges that keep the sewing room interesting.  I must dig through my fabric for more options.   Lots of meal worms are disappearing again.  Most of the time it's because the pair of Blue Birds are having
