Sunday, Sunday.

 A necessary marker in the week.  Today has seen a few church services come to us through streaming.  It started with Sec. Presbyterian service at 9:30.  Christ Harvey is someone not to be missed with a powerful message every Sunday.  Yes Presbyterian, my brother's church.  Then it was on to North Un. Methodist at 11:00 and just completed another service at North, this time a memorial service honoring the life of Dick Hamilton, our minister for many, many years.  Several of our associate ministers through the years spoke along with David , Dick, and Anna Lee's oldest son.   A message concluded the service.  The Cathedral Singers were the music makers along with Anna Brisco who came all the way from Louisiana.  It was a wonderful reminder of Dicks ministry that was so lovingly executed for almost 30 years.  Dee asked about butterflies.  Well, a symbol of the resurrection.  So fitting for today's entry.  And I have pictures. 


 


The Swallowtail loves to sit and pose for pictures.  We can find this gem in the garden every day after the sun is up for a while and the juices are flowing that creates lots of action to spot.  


Now the Monarch is just a bit different.  There's lots of flying just about everywhere but sitting is not one of the characteristics that I can spot.  It's just up and about with what I suspect is the look at me.  I'm important and I'm beautiful.  .  


 
I just think that flowers are covering the ground.  Rabbits and other small animals occupy that space also.  The insects are next with butterflies and bees, Then come small birds and the big ones use the space over them and the trees are there for their pleasure.  Now that is a plan that we are charged to take care of.  

Doug continues well on the way to good health.  He is doing a lot of sleeping and I am making sure that eating small amounts happens about every 2 hrs.  He is very compliant.  We continue to be aware of Delta avoiding crowds.  


My concern is that when safe happenings occur, we recognize them and become a part of that experience.  Currently, recognition is difficult.  




So prayers of understanding in all that is a part of the world as we know it today.

    Thanks for the butterflies. They are beautiful and add a nice touch to your garden - and they are certainly benefiting from that juicy nectar. I'm glad Doug is doing so well.

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
