Sunday, Sunday

 Up early as usual.  I never was a sleeper although when small and the barn light went on shinning in our bedroom window at 6 am for my dad to do chores before catching the bus to go to work, I thought it was the middle of the night.  I concluded that they were crazy for thinking it was time to get up.  Humm...Most every morning I'm awake at 5:30 and ready for the day.  Funny how that works.  


So up early with my two eggs and sour cream.  I did some weed pulling in the front again.  It's the weed called violet living among vinca vine.  


                                Our dear associate minister Sunil Katian.  A great leader of our flock.  

Another great church event with a wonderful anthem to sing supported by a beautiful piano arrangement.  

Everlasting God  T.Fettke

Where can I go from your spirit?  Where can I flee from your presence?  To the heavens, on the wings of the dawn to the far side of the sea?  To the depths and into death itself? 

Even darkness is not darkness to you.  Everywhere I go you are there, filling all the earth and heav'n above.  Lord, you walk before and behind me, I'm surrounded by your steadfast love.  Everywhere I go you are there, your eternal presence goes before.  You are beauty, you are wisdom, you are majesty, you are power, you are everlasting God and I am yours!  

Alleluia! search me, O God and know my heart and see if there be any sin in me, know my thoughts and lead me in the way everlasting!    

A wonderful way to express my thoughts remembering the deep valleys of living not so long ago. Blessings have come in strange ways I could never have imagined.  

Before leaving church I had several conversations with folks about making the Gathering Center even more workable for folks. We'll keep working till it works.  The silent auction began this morning.  


This afternoon I really tried to make an effort to stay with weeding in one of the beds until I could say that bed would be in a good place.  And I did.  Woo.  A whole lot of hidden violets, pulse a few more "gifts" are no more.  

This is a Michigan Monarch being released  They have been excited to release about six Monarch.  So far I'm still waiting to find one.  I'm delighted they can have this experience. 

So another Sunday with a phone call visit to the Michigan Russells.  They once again are burning way too tall and stand near to power lines Cottonwoods recently felled.  
                                Two fires have continued through the night and through the rain.                                                      I would say there's the possibility of a huge weenie roast with s'mores galore.                        There is still more burning to come.   It helps to have 3 big sons taller than their father in the family.                               Toting those logs will build muscles faster than any gym exerciseing routine.  


 The Carmel Russell 4 sum have spent the weekend in Chicago with their good friends visiting from Calif.                                        

All seems to be right with the world.  Monday I have another appointment with the breast doctor, the agenda again is determining if all is well or are changes happening in a possible problem area.  So far all news is good news.  Pray that the word sung by our Morman brothers and sisters, all is well, all is well is also my song to sing today.

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
