Busy Thursday.

The day began as usual with Crossword and Wordle with both being solved quickly.  A little TV and Breakfast and a walk through the garden happened, finding new seedlings emerging.  Yeah!  


I met Heidi at 9 at church to talk through come coming events that involve visuals.   Easter is disappearing and we moved to this coming Sunday's service, the emphasis on caring for the earth.  Two new anthems commissioned for us to sing this Sunday supporting the theme will be heard with thank yous given to the Richard and Anna Lee Hamilton fund. The sanctuary reflects a visual bit of an earth theme.  Sunday's activities also involve a garden plant swap and here are my contributions.  

Two pots of sea oats grass, one pot of Valerian, a medicinal herb whose roots promote sleeping,  although it comes in pill form and better regulated, and a large native Indiana plant called a cup plant. So if I take 4 plants, I can come home with 4 other plants if I so choose. 


Heidi and I  talked through Pentecost Sunday which is the first Sunday in June.  A set of 8 red banners came home with me to have a good checking over for any repairs.  It will be a red Sunday which brings a lot of excitement to the space.  It's the church's birthday and my very favorite celebration Sunday. We will stay red until July!  



The afternoon saw some work being done in the garden with two tomato plants in the ground and some cucumbers waiting to be planted.  There will be one more tomato planted at some point joining the peppers and the rest of the space will support Monarchs and Swallowtail Butterflies, meaning a whole lot of flowers will fill more places. 

The Spectrum fixer spent the whole afternoon, replacing outside wiring and installing a new router.  I would say that within the last six months we're had a lot of Spectrum visits, enough to last us for a long time.  Almost everything has been on a recycle replacement path.  We hope to be problem-free for a very long time.  


Another choir practice filled the evening rehearsing the two numbers that were commissioned and dedicated to Richard and Anna Lee.  It's an unusual feeling to be singing music never sung before by any group.  Something grand spanking new.  That' is a responsibility that involves doing our best for many reasons.  It's been another great day.  

Richard Hamilton was our sr. minister for nearly 30 years.  Anna Lee Hamilton, his wife was well known in the musical world.

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
