Birds and flowers

 This morning I'm thinking birds! The birdbath water is frozen most mornings.  A pot of boiling water fixes that attracting surprise visits from a lot of birds.  I'm learning the importance of water to our entertaining feathered friends.  Doug said feeding them comes from our entertainment budget!  Now you know what simple things entertain us.  

The Red Bellied Woodpecker is up and about every day with a song that would not allow him to participate in any choir that I know.  Red is a huge bully at the suite being an arch-rival to others who would like a snack while Red eats. 

  The finch is almost out of sight on the birdbath on the left side.  The garden pictured is a reminder of what was and what will become summer again. 
One more reminder of my favorite Hosta flower.  This one has a wonderful aroma and grows alongside the patio.  Such a delightful queen.  

Persistence succeeded.  I have an appointment for PT balance evaluation!  Yesterday was one more goodby to another doctor who is retiring.  That's number four for the year. I could be outliving their practice!  Maybe I have too many doctors.  Sounds better perhaps than outliving their practice. It would seem that I'm preparing for the next decade or so.   The gone group includes Primary, ENT, Sleep Apnea, and Dentist Doctors. So long farewell.  Happy Retirement for three of the four.  The one left out moved back home to UTAH.  A bit of a drive for me.

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

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

Saturday.

 Today was the every other Saturday for Soup Kitchen work at church.  But before that I was up at 6 with breakfast and a little sewing time.  By 8 I was on my way to church to be at the door when Tosha would be arriving.  Sarah Ellen is in Italy for the week.  One person short makes a whole lot of difference when the soup kitchen crew is at it's usually small size.  Jack arrived earlier than usual so that was a big help and the new Cindy crew of two more folks made work time even easier.  Sometimes I feel like it's a guess who is coming to work now added to the guess who is coming to lunch.  The crowd wasn't as large as usual.  We just never know.  I say it's a crap shot not to be figured out!                                                I hope to have a lot of these orange cosmos this summer.   The morning work flew along.  I talked with Heidi about my ideas for Easter decorations.  The Easter banners are back at church and a few more decisions have been made.  Easte
