A brand new day.

 That word brand or is it bran.  My dad always added that to a whole lot of things. A brand new day was one of them.  What does brand add to the new day is my question?  I'll just say a new day. Every day is brand in my book. My early morning work is finished.  Breakfast was eaten, new suite block hanging outside, frozen water in the birdbath now thawed, seed thrown for the birds that are "ground" eaters, and the crossword puzzle stumped me this morning.  Grr.  I hate that.  Didn't consult Siri.  What's another word for an adobe house?  Haven't a clue.  

Thinking of church this morning.  The poinsettias are moving off the dining room table to church.  They look wonderful after a few weeks' visit with me having been ice cubed every day.   The palms plants used last Palm Sunday will be added.  I'm thinking Middle Eastern setting of Bethlehem.  Still thinking about other possibilities at church for decorating. I've tossed one to use another year. With the hope that a few children will be at the service, the donkey will be present.  So a ten o'clock arrival will be the start of some 4th Sunday put aways and the celebration of the Eve will appear.  I love preparing the space.  Heidi will help.  I hope for pictures today.  

The plan for the afternoon is a bit of baking.  Aldi's needs a visit on the way home from church for a few supplies.  Another knitting project is coming off the needles this morning.  One or two more to go.  


A gift from a Father Monk at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit near Conyers Ga. now hangs at North's chapel door.  Mary holding Jesus as a young child.  

One of over 100 nativities gifted to North by the Delong family.  Bob and Mozelle shepherded many congregations during their years of ministry.  Their parishioners gifted them with nativities from many countries.  North Church is honored to add nativities from this collection along with other sets to the visual celebration of the birth in a manger, each year.

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
