Something is back!

 Sunday morning.  A walk in the garden continues to bring lots of smiles.  Everything looks so happy so that's what makes me feel gifted by my plant friends.  Rain should be coming Monday and Tues and that really lifts the load of gardening.  Lettuce should be part of the salad for lunch.  Fresh from the garden will bring a great compliment of flavors.  

This morning bird watching was a hoot.  Well, I hooted to the cow bird that was trying to get into the wren house.  Yesterday it was mother blue bird.  Yes, the wrens are back for the summer.  I enjoy hearing their call from different places in the garden.  I've always located the house in the same place and there is plenty of monkey bar branches for the two little friends to hop from limb to limb.  Sticks aplenty now are packed into the house but I'm sure there will be a few more.  Visits from the humming bird are a bit more frequent.  The warbler stopped by and of course woodpeckers are always near by.  It's been an interesting morning with breakfast on the patio, a cup of coffee and the magazine section of the newspaper this morning  was filled with gardening news.  Doug is off to church to sing with the choir for the 11 o'clock service.  

And now what's back.  The terrible, horrible, no good, very bad vertigo.  It's not as bad as in previous times but not good.  So I've got to be careful.  A call to my most favorite doctor who know a whole lot about a whole lot of things including vertigo is again sending me information to  correct this out of balance event.  He helped a lot in the past and I've just got to get to the procedure to fix it.  So that's the assignment for this late morning time. Bending over currently is not a great experience. 

Mornings continue to produce energy for a lot of things.  Afternoons are a bit sparse with energy.  I'm grateful for what is evident regardless of the time of day.  Planning ahead makes it all work. 

Sundays bring that old memory of mom singing in the kitchen fixing breakfast before we all left for church. I owe the Lord a Morning Song of gratitude and praise.  For the kind mercy he has shown in lengthening out my days.  Gratitude continues to be abundant.  .

    I've got a bunch of vestibular exercises from my therapy after I was having balance issues (not so much vertigo as balance). They start with simple eye-tracking. Put two sticky notes on the wall about 6 inches apart and move eyes left-to-right-to-left - maybe 20 times. Then place the sticky notes above each other and move from bottom-to-top-to-bottom.

    Stand heel to toe for a minute. Reverse feet for another minute. (You may find a big difference depending on which foot is forward.)

    I've got more of that sort of thing. I still do them when I get a little off balance. (I know, I know, when am I not off balance? I ask the question before one of my brothers or one of my nephews would ask 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
