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.
