A Simpler Day

 Woo...I didn't think it could get simpler but it was.  It was an early wake-up.  Wordle happened.   Then crossword puzzle and breakfast on the patio with a whole lot of bird music.  

A couple of years old Butterfly Weed plant.  The older the prettier.  Two didn't appear this year and there are two new first-year plants taking that space.  This plant has a wonderful orange color that shouts come on Monarchs.  I can take care of your babies.  The milkweed is ready. 


                                            Yes...you guessed it...a picture from last summer.                                                                                       It's a little early yet but I'm ready.  Come on friends.   

A few plants got a morning drink, The bird bath got filled and then I noticed that there were a few things knocked over and eaten.  Not much but Mr. Deer had been around during the night.  The tomato plants lost a few leaves.  

The day promised to be a warm one but a little cooler than yesterday.  Around 10:00 I closed up the house and settled in for some TV.  It seems that sleeping goes better with TV and that has been the case all day.  It's a simpler day when that happens.  

Another great salad supper, this time with bacon, lettuce, and tomatoes with some cucumbers and chives. We skipped the bread part.   A great combination on a hot day.


  Our 3/13 game has returned and tonight Doug got skunked big time.  Poor guy but the truth...low score wins.   He didn't have a chance ever to win.

What didn't get a drink in the morning got one in the evening.  It's time for a God rain.  

Doug had an evening trip to the woods with the 6th baby squirrel.  That bunch should be having a ball in the woods. Chipmunks appear to be taking a break.  Maybe the word is out about the traps.  I think we are down to one adult squirrel currently.

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

 A day that's been a little slow.  I guess that's OK now and then.   The morning included a yucky bird feeder clean out.  I got tired of looking at it and it was almost empty so there was my chance.  The blue bird was seen often and the pair of red bellied wood peckers enjoyed the suet.  I saw on facebook a guard that is easy to put together to keep sparrows out of the blue bird house.  It's worth a try made with wire and fishing filaments and fishing weights.  I need a wire cutter first.                                                                    For a while both Mr. and Mrs. were visiting.  Then it was to the sewing machine.  The day produced three bags.  I need to get the collection on their way to Michigan.  I made a couple for the Carmel grandsons.  The pace was slowed with a finger cut with the rotary cutter.  What a bleeder I produced.  I will say this is the first slash I gave myself in more than ? years of sewing.  I think it's time for a fresh dressing

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
