Lots of voices in the garden.

 Yesterday I suspected that a nest of birds had fledged.  Lots of singing during a usually quiet afternoon of bird song.  This morning after a trip out I heard even more and for sure the wrens have fledged.  I was hoping to see the first attempt at flying for my little friends.  I've seen them get a wing out of the door hole which is a death movement in trying to return home.  It just doesn't work that way.  Some times they have taken a dive to the ground and sometimes they just fly to a tree as if they had been flying all their lives.  But this year...I missed the first adventure out for them.  Now it's choir practice in the garden. 

Yes another trip out...to see Denise, my soft tissue P T who works on my neck pushing fluids to where they need to go.  Lots of talk, lots of laughing and lots of just quiet time as she works those magical fingers.  

Then a stop at Meijers to buy a few more groceries for the Upper Michigan camping trip the last two weeks of July.  So...the report is...we are ready...the Pancake mix, syrup and oil are bought and all systems are go if we have those items.  Another two weeks of great memories.  It's one of those count your blessing moments.  

Now the garden.  Yesterday afternoon I pulled all the first planted lettuce.  Lettuce get's bitter in the summer sun and with ageing.  Some people also do that.  There are two more other kinds of lettuce that are younger and sweeter available.  Basil will take it's place.  

Later today I'm taking my neighbor to St. Vincent's Hospital for a procedure.    Helping is the word.  A very pleasant day of temperatures is ahead and I'm sure there will be naps on the patio among other things.  I'm at Peace Like a River.  Well a river in it's peaceful phase.  I should add,

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
