Closer

 Yes...one day closer to our Sunday leave Indiana day.  We managed to get the two middle seats in the van removed.  That is such a hassle and those seats are HEAVY.  With those gone, the space in the van makes packing so much easier.  And we do use all the space.  We needed a lamp in the tent and once again Goodwill came through with a perfect $2.30 lamp.  Wed. is Sr. 30% off day.  A few more things to collect but I would say at least 90% or more is here and ready to move.  I once made a list.  It's stored in my head for now.  

This morning once again there was a visit with the animals along with breakfast on the patio.  Birds were eating at the suet and Peter made his appearance. 


Peter is that small little brown dot about mid-way a bit to the right in the first photo.  

Our big visit yesterday was with the roofing company.  We had a lot of hail damage so a new roof is coming and the siding on the house will all be replaced.  There was hail damage coming from the east and from the west.  We made changes in color going from a sterile white to a tint of beige with siding that matches the grout in the brick. .   I hope we made a good decision.  That change won't happen until the end of the roofing season and the garbage cans are loaded with cleared vegetation.  

So the rest of the week is to get all the little things completed and then we're off to see the UP on Sunday. It could be a Wizard of Oz place come to think of it.

                                   A nice ending to an interesting day.  Fresh flowers are always refreshing.  I woulad call this a little crazy day.  Meaning the unexpected was part of the morning.  But first... A great night of sleep again thinking it was six o'clock when it really was seven.  Now an extra hour of sleep never hurt anyone.  There was breakfast of course with a little TV. Yesterday I finished sewing and turning 30 burps, so the order of the morning was to iron all of them with top stitching in mind at some point. And there was time to iron all 30.             I did some straw flower seed saving.  It's a repeat of last fall that worked well this spring. Then it was off to church to pick up and put away all the things that supported the six weeks of sermons on prayer.  I love these lit...

Red sails in the morning, Sailors take warning.   The warning sign was miss thinking about a wonderful day with a gorgeous sunrise, but it turned into anything but wonderful. And after yesterday's blog entry, what was hoped to be a good week had a dismal beginning.  Jared called to tell us that Sunday evening Wyatt, their beautiful red poodle stopped eating and by three in the morning of Monday as Jared was driving to Lancing to the Vet at Michigan State, Wyatt died.  Wyatt was one wonderful dog in every sense of the word.  Smart, friendly, protective with absolute understanding about so many things.  Today and the days ahead will be days of mourning eventually becoming times of reflections about all the good that Wyatt brought to us.  His camping chair is now sitting in our living room reminding us of that goodness he gifted us.  After hearing about this event, I took a walk outside to clear my head and heart and found the first of many crocus bl...

 Another good start to the day with my yummy yogurt, almonds, blueberries and coffee and the TV.  But not for long.  It was back to the beloved sweat shop with burps.  That's the go to when the need to do something else comes along.  It was the last 10 of the next 100.  They will be in my closet until nearer Christmas.  Some of the burps are Christmas themed.  There was additional ripping, then folding and finally ironing where need.  The pipeline is filled again with additional work ready willing and able to become more burps. Starting on another 100 leads to the next 100 a total equaling 2500 burps.   I worked on a sign to advertise the No Kings event of the day.  Joining a big group even though it is outside is not going to happen.  But I had an idea up my sleeve. It's that germ thing and the energy thing that will keep me close to home.   Then another late morning in the garden after the warmup.  I notic...
