Nippy Morning. It's not July anymore.

 Woo...the trip to the mailbox for the morning paper was a faster than usual trip.  It could be approaching jacket wearing time soon.  The crossword puzzle is sort of finished .  I left a few boxes for Doug to tackle.  

Yesterdays short trip to the fabric store rewarded me with a huge savings.  Fabric I needed was more than 50% off.  What a deal.  Then it was on to Wild Birds.  I love that place.  There is a new bag of sunflower seed  and more cakes of suet for the birds.  Our last years old and somewhat broken bird feeders were pitched and now there is a new one waiting for visits.  It took a Chickadee about 5 minutes to fine it yesterday.  I think we could use another feeder in the winter so that idea will be included in the Christmas list.  I am such a poor list maker.  The kids will be happy.  


Today's work or I could say fun is getting that needle busy sewing, sewing, sewing.  The latest knitting needle project could be finished if I just got to it.  

We'll see what the brain indicates is more interesting project. I'm in retirement mode. 

Here is another put together flower arrangement.  Rosie brought the red roses and I added Doug's pink ones with lots of green leaves.  I could call his the last rose of summer.  

Yes it's a cool fall day with a little warm up.  It smells and feels like football weather.  I'll probably watch a few games while sewing...No more like listening rather than watching.  The needle needs the eyes.  

No Monarchs yesterday.  We'll check today. 

Today, it's peace like a river.  A couple of years ago I created a banner with those words.  They seem to arrive at the most surprising times. Thanks be to God.

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
