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.

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
