The second day of the week.

 On the first day of the week....It was indeed patio day with bird watching among other things.  When the patio became shaded I moved to the sun.  What a warm healing feeling enjoying the sun.  Not to hot and not to cold and of course with my hat on even though the back of my head faced the east.  Stella stayed in the garage although I did enjoy a walk around the block with my neighbors walking their cute little dog who was such a pokey little things.  I must admit that Stella makes the walk easier although she is a bit noisy.  My neighbors to the west came over for a moment of talk as well.  Doug spent the morning at church with the choir.  It was a good morning for both of us.

The Iphone continues to entertain me.  There is a coloring program that has me hooked.  The picture is there and bright beautiful colors are added. I love the colors.  The flowers and animals and butterfly pictures are first choice.  Such a simple thing but it does have me hooked.  And the Russell family all text.  Such Iphone fun "e mailing" as I once said and was immediately corrected by the grandsons.  They are one huge alert bunch of boys.  All five.

Today should be pretty simple.  Grocery shopping and that's about it as far as I know.  I'm sure there will be more of something.  I really would like to move some plants that flopped all over the place last summer to join some other floppy plants.  They can flop together or maybe help each other stand up.  I think I could do 10 minutes of garden work after maybe 10 minutes yesterday.  Yes...I did 10 yesterday.  I still know where the shovel is.  I'm honoring my shoulder.  

There's a song...I've been workin' on the railroad.  My song is I've been workin' in the garden...Not quite all the live long day.  Only 10 minutes or so.  Including the or so part keeps me from fibbing. 

When there is light in the window and a cup of coffee in hand I'll be visiting my garden friends.  The five Swamp Milkweed and three Butterfly Weed plants are looking very healthy. Both will bring a lot of Monarch enjoyment.  Life is good.  God is here.

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
