A Winnie the Poo Day.

 Yes...a blustery day.  Lots of wind that should dry the soil a bit.  The rain has been a blessing.  It's brought a huge amount of growth to everything plant-based.  The beds are bursting with a huge variety of bloomers soon to come. There are a few of these in the garden. 

This morning's wordle answer happened in three tries.  Woo.  Just a little proud of myself. Let's add the word LUCKY!  The garden work included moving a small Mullin plant to a bigger place.  I love those plants although they do almost nothing but grow and look pretty.  I would say majestic in the upright form they will take in a few weeks. 

    
                        This is a very big Mullin plant volunteer.

I hoed out some weeds, did a bit of trimming, and applied some Preen.  The Iris are fading fast so those stems need to be cut off.  Woo...there are at least one hundred Siberian Iris on the way out.  

  I blew the maple seeds off the roof.  I'm just a bit done with sweeping them off the patio and into piles for the garbage can. Let's get it over with.  Sweeping when wet doesn't work so well. 

I cleaned the birdbath with the goal of adding it to the Care for the Earth visuals at church.  

A very clean with bleach birdbath, the bowl sprayed with gold paint.  Nothing but the best for the birds.  Mrs. Oriole visited the Smuckers Jelly cup this morning.  The catbirds are also enjoying the jelly. We have very regular visitors.  There is a substitute birdbath to use for a couple of days. 

 Doug visited the library again and stopped at the gas station.  Eeks.  almost 5 bucks a gal.  I told Doug we should make it a point to stay home.  Then I looked at the calendar.  There is a Sat. choir rehearsal...Sunday services...Monday breast cancer doctor. regularly scheduled visit ...Thurs. choir practice and then Sat. Bread and Bowl.  Looks like we're using gas next week.  Appointments need to be kept.    Our neighbors bought a Tesla.  

The day ended on a rather tame note.  Supper, card game, I won, TV. three cucumber plants in the ground, and a little computer time.  The day has been filled to the brim.

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
