Refreshing Day.

That was yesterday. So with rake in hand I was Out and about with more raking and clipping and cleaning, this time the ground cover in front of the housegot some attention. It got a great smashing with all the house siding job guys that brought a major fixing, I hope. I picked up so many nails that found a hiding place in the ground cover. It was like finding Easter Eggs. The mess raked up is a great start for next weeks garbage. My two blue cans are full for todays offering. I failed to mention that last week while cleaning the garden my eye caught some movement with my thought a bird was crawling around. No bird...My first chipmunk now is in the woods about 3 miles down the road visiting with other Russell catches added to the park last summer. Happy to say that today should be warm enough to get closer to the finish line for the first attempts at cleaning gardening sites in the yard. I'm sure early March will bring April and May work as well. Doug brought me a wonderful gardening catalogue that came in the mail yesterday. Pictures are really tempting eye candy. I hate the delivery fee. 12.00 goes with the first order for this catalogue. It only gets worse as orders increase. I'll be looking at Lowes today to see what they have. A phone call yesterday said that the gutting and down spouts will be added to the house Friday. Brr...it is supposed to snow. It was ceiling falling after rain when the open roof was not protected by the roofers, Ice and snow when the siding went on, and now snow for the gutters and down spouts. It's been crazy. This outdoor house work has brought bad weather every time it's been scheduled. EVERY TIME! We need spouting extenders so it's a short shopping trip today to Lowes today. Got to be ready for the next phase of work. Then I think we're finished. Hail should not be a problem anymore Breakfast, crossword, blog, a little news...All finished. I'm ready for the day.

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...

Wed. I'm back Thanks be to God!

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 s...

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....
