Back home again in Indiana.

 What a ? weekend.  Words are hard to find,  Busy busy time.  Coffee on the patio and now it continues here in Carmel.  This morning a pileated woodpecker and hummingbird are the count with the wren's both female and male making music.  Put that on the "got it right" list of good things.  The checklist of the garden last night said all was well.  No need for watering and a few snapdragons got a little help in staying upright.  They have problems sometimes.  The Dot Com Daliah is showing color.  Woo, woo.  This morning is another session with Denise, the soft tissue girl and then it's a trip to church to make some sanctuary changes for the rest of the summer.  It will be simple with a few banners.  Time to veg out in the sanctuary.  

This garden picture has white swamp milkweed, then pink-flowered common milkweed, and then lots of dill plants ready for Monarch and Swallowtail butterfly babies.  I look every morning but I probably won't find them till August.  They flew off to Michigan.  

Last night I was busy at the ironing board with ironing a big box of fabric scraps flat,  most of them children's patterns.  They would look so cute cut into squares for baby quilts or bibs.  Sounds like a winter project perhaps.  Hard to part with scraps of fabric when it's so interesting.   This box of fabric is a gift from Kat.  

More garden pictures...Miss Dot Com is the first to open and it is barely open.  

I'm ready for the day.  Another day to be thankful for a restored body that enjoys the garden among other things.  
The morning sun shows this snapdragon at its best.  There are not many things that are more unusual than a snapdragon flower.  It's a wonderful example of HOW COULD THAT BE POSSIBLE.  

Kimmy continues to work on her flower garden.  Jared said they have made placement decisions for plants to be planted.

    I agree with Nancy. Now I can see for myself how beautiful your garden is. And it is truly beautiful. It is a great sign of how you learned to dance in the rain during these last months!

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...

Wed. I'm back Thanks be to God!

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 s...

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....
