ReLent

 Lots of time to think early this morning after listening to my friend Christopher at Sec. Presbyterian Church once again around 3 am.  Perhaps I should have skipped the Iphone event but I didn't.  His Lenten series of sermons are called Relent...in this case letting go of many things that might  control our lives  but should be released or relented.   This morning my mind spun with ideas of...camping, visiting Mi. family and more.   No...I need to let go of that exercise.  Someone else is in charge of the plans for the coming months.  Those wished for planning exercises will come to me in due time.  It's time once again to Relent and then someday it will be time to  recharge for the rest of life given to me.  

Yesterday, Stella was with me for a longer walk.  The outside air was so refreshing.  I had a nice talk visit with a neighbor.  Doug and I did a grocery store visit.  My neighbor, on more than one occasion has suggested ordering with a delivery.  I need to see people.  The grocery store does that for me.  It does take every ounce of energy to even make a short visit but for now...we will continue our visit.  Doug wants to eat.  He's willing and able to push the cart and help with bagging.  What a guy!    

There is light at the window.  The day is moving along.  Sarah's email greeted me this morning.  There is a phone call to make.  The sweeper needs to be run in a few spots.  Pansies still need planting although today's weather says...maybe tomorrow.  I will relent that decision for later.

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
