I'm alive.

 I had my doubts yesterday.  Such a @#$%^$% Day.  I was getting a bit scared with not being able to eat at all but today...little by little I'm functioning again.  Thanks be to God for a better body. I'll take it.  Something I'm really good at but still surprised is sleeping during the day.  Perhaps the body is still healing.  Sounds like a great excuse and I'll use it.  That doesn't mean I did much but it was a great day.  I visited with neighbor Judy and heard that our yard bunny has found her patio. And the beautiful yellow butterfly is also visiting her.  We had a huge teaser of a rainstorm.  No storm and very little rain.  Maybe more tomorrow.  The Dalia Ladies got another drink this morning from the watering can along with some potted flowers.  The zinnias are looking great even though they haven't seen much moisture for three weeks.  The purple flower is called butterfly bush which the butterflies love to find.  They have nothing to do with the propagation of butterflies but have great nectar for them. So today was a day when I found myself again.  Yesterday I had my doubts.

    I've missed seeing you in the yard and was starting to be more and more concerned. Praying for everything to settle down, even as you awaken in the morning. God is good.

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

 A day that's been a little slow.  I guess that's OK now and then.   The morning included a yucky bird feeder clean out.  I got tired of looking at it and it was almost empty so there was my chance.  The blue bird was seen often and the pair of red bellied wood peckers enjoyed the suet.  I saw on facebook a guard that is easy to put together to keep sparrows out of the blue bird house.  It's worth a try made with wire and fishing filaments and fishing weights.  I need a wire cutter first.                                                                    For a while both Mr. and Mrs. were visiting.  Then it was to the sewing machine.  The day produced three bags.  I need to get the collection on their way to Michigan.  I made a couple for the Carmel grandsons.  The pace was slowed with a finger cut with the rotary cutter.  What a bleeder I produced.  I will say this is the first slash I gave myself in more than ? years of sewing.  I think it's time for a fresh dressing

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
