It feels like knots time.

 I wish some weather would not be such a noose around my neck.  Rain just can be that noose.  Maybe it's not the rain but other pending actions which has been pending for a very long time.  Maybe it's not rainy weather but the waiting.  I checked my records and I heard there would be more doctor work to do the last of Sept.  So I waited.  You just got a recording of how my brain works.  Trying to figure out all of what has happened and what is to come is not something I'm good at.  Lately, there have been knots.  I guess that's why doctors exist, I suppose untieing knots.  Three more sleeps and information will be gathered.  That's a very good thing.  Then just two more weeks of waiting till I visit Dr. Schneider for a plan.  My life flows on says the song.  The knot shelf is empty.  I need to store my knots there.  

Last night was a great choir practice time with friends planning for All Saints Sunday and then a little bit of Advent.  There is a pattern that I'm happy to acknowledge.  I love patterns of the church year that provide order.  

Today, I'm back on the sewing machine.  One huge project was finished and delivered.  Now I'm using what's left to make another gift for the same lady.  It helps with waiting big time.  The knots disappear somehow like magic.  

I've added more seeds to the collection and thought about possibilities for Christmas gifts.  The kids get a little out of round when I say I can't think of anything..  So...I'm thinking fast and furious about answers to that question.  There are some garden ideas.    

This zinnia plant is producing the best mature seeds.  So I guess there will be a lot of red zinnias next summer.  Yesterday the Jonquil bulbs arrived along with some Crocus bulbs to add to the flower beds.  So...as soon as the beds dry out they will get planted.  That could be digger Doug's hole digging job.  I want to plant them all together to make a huge splash of spring by the patio.   I love those surprises.  Yes, more waiting but I know what the outcome will be.  There will be beautiful flowers making a huge welcome to the world next spring.

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
