First day of the week.

Starting another week.  Those starts seem to come around every seven days.  I have that figured out!!!!!  
Yesterday was one of those sloppy days that kept me inside most of the time.  I watched the birds and ball games both men and women and that was about it.  Oh, yes...the sweeper appeared for a few minutes and I checked on the parsley.  A few more little seeds have germinated.  This year the parsley patch is right by the house.  Won't need to walk far to cut those tasty little additions to a whole lot of things.  The games were awesome.  Lots of hard work brought unusual outcomes.  It's a never give up attitude not often seen.  Thank you Michigan, St. Peter, IU ladies to name a few.  Yes...big and small schools were represented.  

This week I'm blessed with NO appointments anywhere!  Now that's a new experience that hasn't happened for a while.  The week is all mine to fill as I wish or can.  I'll take it.  

Yesterday I posted a picture of the Lenten Rose flowerbed.  Today's picture is a close-up of a clump, one of many, that has grown over the years.  The old tired leaves have been cut off and all the growth is new and fresh.  It's that springtime look.  And yes...spring arrives this morning between 11 and 12.   
What is an added bonus with this plant is that the flowers will dry on the plant and remain looking as if they were fresh for months. These are in the family of Hellebores.  I hope the spelling is correct.  Goggle it for more information.  It's an interesting family of plants. 

Now a church story.  The Cathedral Singers did not sing at last Sunday's service.  So Doug and I went to the Cumberland UMChurch where Ronnie Bell who was at our church 3 years ago is now the senior pastor.  Ronnie worked in community ministry at North and is a wonderful gem of a guy.  I have been wanting to worship at his church since he left North and this was the perfect time to do that.  So I'll add a wonderful picture to the blog today.  Ronnie's ministry is alive and well doing God's work.  Community ministry continues in this place.  He is much appreciated every bit as he was at North.

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
