The color is gray. The forcast RAIN

 It's a  huge gray rainy day.  Leaking gray skies and  believe me one  will  get wet when running through the church parking lot with no coat on trying to find a tree for protection.   Yup...that's me for sure gathering knitted hats and head bands to give to Phyllis for the children at school 43.  .  It's one of those before the winter comes the creeks must be full days.  The creeks should be full.  

Church day again and today unlike the Sunday I had vertigo, I participated.  I love doing that.  It' was poring water into the baptismal fount. during the spoken introit.  Scripture reading...MY FAVORITE.  What an honor to read something recorded more than 2000 years ago.  The last part was that 5 minute speech about worship and the arts.  This is the month of church budget planning.   I could have done 10 minutes easily but preacher said 5.    And the first service folks  heard me as well as the second service folks.   Reconnecting with folks is such a pleasure with lots of conversation, some being with people I had not seen in almost two years.  

So what is left of the day seems to demand hot coffee, and the electric throw to be wrapped in.  Football will be added with knitting now and then.  And I'll probably fall asleep in the chair at some point.  Early this morning another hat came off the needles so time to start another one.  The cloudy rainy picture of leaves looks a bit foggy like it really is. .  The tree didn't pass the bar for posting.  We'll get it on a sunny day. 

.  But the little pumpkin sitting by the front door met all the markers and is still strutting his stuff.  That's because he is a ceramic pumpkin used year after year.  For at least 25 years if I figure correctly.  He doesn't rot.

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
