Swaddled in Love.

 Look at this sassy little tree rat with a huge mouth full making preparations for winter.  That walnut comes from the only tree in the neighborhood which is far from our yard.  .  It's a tree rat or you might say squirrel.  I've got to admit that he makes life a bit interesting with all of his chatter and antics.  Although he needs to eat to stay healthy, I'm not a big fan of feeding him from the basket that birds visit.  Those black sunflower seeds are supporting more than birds.

Now for the swaddled-in love event.   This third chapter of health issues for the Russell's has been a bit daunting. There have been some dark days.  The head surgery was long with a very successful outcome.  Thanks be to God.  Although Doug's surgery could have occurred early in the year, it needed to be delayed until the fall until I was well..  His surgery was successful.  And now we have the third chapter.   Things take the time they take.  Don't worry.  Thank you Mary O. 

With all of what might come piled up on my heart, last night at choir practice I decided to talk.  And talk I did, thanking my choir family for all their 2021 support.  It has been a tremendous gift. A gift that flows like a river.   Then I shared the third chapter unfolding for the Russell's.  Once again swaddled in love and prayers surrounded us.   After returning to my choir place, a period of quiet happened with prayers of grace and support.  Gifts continue to flow.  

Now for today.  The roof that is on the ground will be the roof on the roof tonight.  At least that's the plan for today.  The plan for Wed. and Thursday needed to be pitched. It was rain Wed.  Rain once thought to come on Thursday that didn't happen and now today could be the day!!!!  Things take the time they take.  Mary is back again.  

So another visit with you my friends.  Some I know and some are hiding.  I know you are there and that's all that matters.  Names are not important.  

And to my 2 brothers or maybe I should say Doug's brothers.  What happened after the once little guy but now the father of three boys left home is his to make the response. It could be a Russell dominant gene knowing that one of the brothers must have received the recessive gene.  

8 am...I hear someone on the roof.  Too early in the day for Santa. He's a night owl.   The sled doesn't work during this season of the year.  .  Must be the roofers.   


Here's the proof.  It will be roof on the roof today unless the rain returns.  Tomorrow could see the finish line.  Things take the time they take.  Don't worry.  Mary is back.

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
