Slow and Easy...NOT!

 Another bit of sunshine.  Such a gift to be cared for, watered, and enjoyed.  Many more examples to be discovered soon.   This little garden of flowers got buckets full of water.  Water is the magic that fills buds.  Buds become so big with growth they must explode!  


Slow and Easy?  Not! That wasn't Saturday for sure.  Guess the slow and easy Friday was getting me ready for busy bee Saturday.  First it was Bread and Bowl Saturday for ME!  I arrived at church at 8:40 to be greeted by two workers ready for job assignments.  So the work began.  The morning moved right along.  Part of that time was spent again talking about new procedures starting in July.  We purged all the things in the cupboards that had accumulated but not needed making space for what we would need in July and noting what needed to be ordered. The cupboards have been restocked.  Yeah!   I feel a bit more comfortable now about the coming month of new beginnings with people now having an option to eat their meal at church if they wish. Carry-out is still available.   At eleven we opened for business at the west entrance to the church with 48 take-home meals.  People walked in and it was another good time of visiting with neighborhood folks. 
      Each bag contains big servings of pork and beans, and mixed vegetables. toasted bread and a desert.                                 Loaves of bread and water are available. Today there were oranges.  

  So back home and lunch for me.  I watered everything even though rain was forecasted.  It didn't come.  Almost reached us but dried up.  What a bummer.  

A few years ago some of you might remember that Noah came to visit one day a week.  His favorite thing to do was dig and he did to the point that we reduced the size of his hole, turning it into a little pond.  This year I filled the pond with water and that's where it all stopped.  The water was dirty with maple seeds and just plain spring mucky water.  So I emptied the pond.  That was not so easy dipping water but I got 'er done.  I filled it again with clean water and we added some plants.  When the water is a bit more settled in a few days we'll add some fish.  The pond looks a little friendlier now. 

                              One more water plant needs to be added. There will be pond flowers soon.

Another trip to Wild Birds.  The suet was getting low and we bought a new feeder for birds that have the ability to hang on to a feeder.  Black Birds are not included.  

                For clinger's only.  Chickadee, Nuthatch, Titmouse, small Woodpeckers, and Gold Finch.                                                                            I'll let you know if it works.  

So I would say the day was a go-do day.  We needed to go somewhere to do all the doing.  The trap was silent.  One visiter is still playing in the yard. Doug would like to go and do with a chipmunk in mind.  

Late news flash...Doug got to visit the woods.

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
