Confused.


 For some reason...maybe Labor Day...I've been off a whole day this week.  I was so surprised that there was football on Friday night.  Well, it was Thurs at that point.  So I've had a whole extra day this week.  You think? Today felt like that extra day.  Slow and easy.  Between last night and this noon, I filled another can with Susans.  A few more to go but just taking it easy and it's paying off.  I rummaged through my shelves looking for large bowls to use for All Saints Sunday celebration at church.  As I rummaged I found some Pacer color yarn that was to be knitted into a hat for the All-Star weekend earlier this year. .  I think that Indy project went the way of so many projects supported by the city during this long season of Covid.  I'm saying hundreds of hats skipped the celebration.  They didn't happen at all.  

 




This little guy will never make it into the choir.  I have yet to meet a woodpecker who can do nothing but make a squeaking noise.  He was at the feeder quite often this summer and today was no exception.  


Blackeyed Susans continue to disappear as planned.  The next to go are the Becky Daisys, long over their blooming period but still standing high in the garden.  Sometimes they rebloom but I think the lack of water this summer caused that not to happen.  


The garbage cans will continue to be filled in the next few days.  The house is ready for roofing and residing and when the materials become available I think the noise of the woodpecker will be appreciated.  There is nothing like the noise of a roof getting a new cover.  I might take a vacation from hearing aid wearing.

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
