Chili...Which one?

In this case, both.  I'm speaking of temperature and soup if you need a bit of help to solve that mystery if it is a mystery?  Yes...chili soup is made and the house is warm so all is right in that respect.  The TV news of the day brings back a time when not all was right. Pray for our countries healing.  

Now a yesterday report.  PT happened with Michael and the Eply procedure did prove that those darn little crystals living in my right ear just travel to places causing trouble.  I'd like to give them a permanent time-out. Work continues to glue them in place.  I have a whole lot of gratitude for Michael who will stay with me until problems are gone.  What a gift in due time will again be felt through this next pair of healing hands entering my life.  Homework with the Eply today showed improve but it did bring with it a bit of nausea.  Just another interesting happening on the way to recovery. 

A trip to the library.  What a treasure trove of books now brightens the day.  Birds and gardening, flowers, and herbs are the themes for the week.  How I love to dream about the coming growing season. I call it a vacation for my mind. 

Just looking at the pictures is eye candy for this book lover.  

Speaking of birds.  We had a windy Wednesday and a very cold 17 degrees today and the feeders have been empty with one exception.  The Downy is back for a short visit.  I sincerely hope that all of my other feathered friends are hiding in the barn with their head under their wings staying warm.  That's another short line from a poem I learned during my childhood.  Long-term memory seems to be alive and well.  

So for all who will be impacted by the cold temperatures, a prayer for safety. food and shelter that will support life through the days to come.  Added prayer for those who will take their place providing that support. The same village houses all of us.  May we stay alert to the needs of those around us.

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
