Early is on time.

 I am sure you all have heard that so today...I'm on time.  It's 7:20.  There is a big bright spot light in the east window.  Breakfast is over and I'm on the day!  Yesterday was another check on all the garden things.  Lots to look at and mess with.  I cleaned up some edging.  Threw out a bunch of weeds that I had left lying a few days ago.  Worked on cleaning off weeds from a path through the garden and sprayed to kill some lone thistles that are always popping up somewhere.  Spray is the only thing that will fix that problem.  Pulling only stimulates the roots left in the ground and from one root come many thistles.  The deer spray came out for a couple of places.  I've found that asters are a deer favorite.  No trips out.  Saved some money!  Might not be the case today.  One never knows.  The swamp milkweed and butterfly weed plants are doing well.  Fun awaits with Monarchs.  Dill is coming up for the Swallowtails.  Could be a bumper year.  

A text from the Midland Michigan part of the family informed us that their Orioles have arrived.  Pictures proved it.  The Oriole part of the yard seems a bit lonely although there are other birds in attendance  to answer present when roll call happens during the day.  The patio umbrella was up for the first time.    

As I mentioned yesterday, there will be a trip to Rosie's with friends.  I'd love to take my lawn chair and just hang out there.  It's such a pretty place with so many folks who are there buying and helping buyers.  It speaks of a positivity that we all need to be swaddled in.  So the challenge will be to keep my thinker in the right place.  It will bring healing.  God is my pilot.

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
