Interesting Day for a Tuesday.

 A wonderful night of sleep after the Sunday night crazies.  This morning I got the urge to dig out some euonymus.  The stuff I don't like.  I'm replacing that stuff with Blackeyed Susans.  Something that will bring a bit of color to that area later this summer.  That's finished.  


                More Dianthas and Tymne are showing their stuff.  

                        And yes, the Noah pond still exists.  


Zinnia report.  The true leaves now are beginning to be seen.  Yeah.  They are growing slowly but surely.  That's good enough for me.  It should rain tomorrow.  


At 11:30 I met my long-time first-grade teaching team friends from nearly 30 years ago having taught together at Forest Dale El.  We try to have lunch together just about every month visiting a new restaurant almost every time we are together. This time it was Cafe Buondi.  

Then it was back home again to watch Doug sort through more copper that we will take back to the UP in July.  



One last batch of potato soup before the summer gets hot.  It's onions, garlic, celery, potatoes, and celery salt with chicken broth.  So delicious with yes...a whole lot of starch.  The immersion blender's trick happened after the picture was taken. 

I cut some tomato cages down and got them in place to prop up the Queen of the Peraire.  I got the wire cutter to do a great job.  It takes a good grip with pressure.  Tall made the cages ugly.  

            The False Indigo is starting to bloom behind the Queen.                              I'll add a picture of that on the next blog.   



An Oriole report will tell you that we are seeing both Mr. and Mrs daily.  It's most interesting when I'm outside hearing them before I see them.  Noisy birds they are.  What an explanation mark in the garden.  


                   So an interesting day of a little of this and that.  

And a huge interesting that Sprectrum has once again by Thursday afternoon got us online.  Problem...water in the line and a new modem.  Let's hope this will be the last of the visits for a long time.

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...

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....
