Middle of the afternoon. Oh, Dear!!!

 It's been a day so far packed with stuff.   My eyes flew open around 4:30.  No need for that awakening but it happened.  Up at 6.  Breakfast, Crossword with to much to figure out and then backed the car out of the garage at 7:15.  Another great session with Denise at 7:30.  8:20 Radiation and 8:40 a session with the nutritionist Jessie.  It's the calorie girl for sure,  Whole milk...cream fruit drinks, adding oil for calories,  protein drinks and more.  Stopped at Meijers for some protein drinks and then on to Goodwill to purchase a great find in Hamilton Beach blenders.  Then across town to spend time with my sister and her daughter.  We had such a great visit.  My sister is healing and is receiving great care from her daughter.  And then it was home around 12:30.  Woo.. a whirlwind of a morning.  

Then came some experimenting with mixing drinks.  I'm giving this my best shot.  Bodies with calories heal better.   

This afternoon Patty stopped by with a novel about the copper country, the area we have camped in for many, many years.  Such history and this novelist has found a place to write about with lots of adventures.  So...I started to read her story once again visiting a place that we know so well.  

Today the weather is a bit cloudy and there have been gifts of rain watering many plants in the garden.  Yesterday the bluebell leaves and stems, mostly dead were cleared away.  The ferns were beaten back making room for a fresh bed of zinnias to be planted tomorrow.  That part of the garden looks great.  Now on to more places that are stuffed with way to many ferns.  Out they will come.  There will always be more to take their place next spring.  I really enjoy making all things new again.  There is always a new picture waiting to be painted in the garden.  I feel fortunate to be a part of the painting.

    Mixing drinks, are you? Would some Kentucky bourbon be welcome?

    As you read the Copper Country novel, keep your eyes open for Pebble Beach! I hear a lot happens there.

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
