New week of more beginnings.

 This Monday starts with the sun shinning.  So welcomed after a gray day that brought a lot of rain and cold temps for May.  Frost tis morning in the lower part of the yard  but I think the plants are safe.  

Radiation for the day is finished.  Once again the ladies that I see are so positive in attitude and so helpful applying the mask.  I am blessed.  Today my body seems to be tired.  Food now has a new taste of nothing. That is unless it's pickled beets and red beet eggs and just plain pickles.  This is not a surprise but to be expected.  Brings me to those pregnancy days when food choices were strange.  By the way...My name is not Sarah.  Thank goodness.    Custard and Jello are good to go also.  The swallowing issues are a bit better but wondering if the two day's off of radiation had something to do with that improvement.  The truth will be known at the end of the week.  PT time needs to happen and it will.  So that's enough about me.  

My plan for the day is to lawn chair and book in the garden  by the oriole feeder.  .  It's waiting time for the temperature to get to a decent place. Come on Mother Nature.  It's May.  34 degrees should not be part of the plan.  It would seem though that there will be more of that this week.  I added a blanket to the bed last night.  For the beauty of the earth...but I'd like that place to be a bit warmer.  BRRR.

    Lela, I was sent this poem by Mary Oliver the other day and I thought you would like it:

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

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

Saturday.

 Today was the every other Saturday for Soup Kitchen work at church.  But before that I was up at 6 with breakfast and a little sewing time.  By 8 I was on my way to church to be at the door when Tosha would be arriving.  Sarah Ellen is in Italy for the week.  One person short makes a whole lot of difference when the soup kitchen crew is at it's usually small size.  Jack arrived earlier than usual so that was a big help and the new Cindy crew of two more folks made work time even easier.  Sometimes I feel like it's a guess who is coming to work now added to the guess who is coming to lunch.  The crowd wasn't as large as usual.  We just never know.  I say it's a crap shot not to be figured out!                                                I hope to have a lot of these orange cosmos this summer.   The morning work flew along.  I talked with Heidi about my ideas for Easter decorations.  The Easter banners are back at church and a few more decisions have been made.  Easte
