No problem but then there is Charlie.

 It's an evening post instead of a morning one.  Spectrum is our landline phone, tv and computer carrier and now we have their service up and running again...Not the case this morning.  So it's evening talk and not morning.  I mentioned Charlie in the title.  It's time to send Charlie packing with Norbert..  My time in the garden yesterday was trying to move Charlie out.  He's also known as Creeping Charlie.  That name is way to nice.  It was during another weed out time that I had decided some days ago  not to tackle Charlie for this year but yesterday I said...I'm after you,  Charlie.  That particularly large bed where Charlie was evicted looks the best it's looked in some years with many more cleaner spot than usual.    Another patch taken care of until it needs a touch again.  When the ground is warmer I'm going to direct sew zinnia seeds in that bed where I did not Preen.   My in the house zinnias are hanging in there.  They need a shot in the ? to move on up. A growth tonic might help. They have an impatient watcher.  I moved them to the patio a couple of days ago for a couple of hours and I think one or two got sunburned and flipped out.  I must be more gentle.  Speaking of sun...I'm wearing my hat every day to protect the flap on my head, working on hydration and starting to use Dove and Baby Shampoo.  I'm trying to get in the radiation rut!  I love the sun and heat but this year I must remember to be careful..  It's just so hard to stay indoors.  I guess Doug could lock me in but I could be the worlds worst grouch..  More things are jumping out of the ground every day.  Yes...literally jumping.  Well, maybe not very high or maybe not at all.  Maybe the jumping is coming from me.  Spending time with neck exercise to reduce accumulating fluids morning and evening and I would think all the stretching in the garden would be of some help.  That last thought needs to be shared with my PT Denise.  Wonder what she'll say.  

I am so very grateful for all the energy that seems to be with me.  The month of May may need all that I have stored and more but trusting that all will be well.  Life is an adventure with God and friends walking along side.

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
