Thinking Tuesday.

 I was just thinking about the fact that I write every day.  A few years ago I would have said I will never journal.  Well, here I am writing about the day with a good amount of pleasure enjoying the moment.  I am expecting more surprises to come since that hasn't stopped so far.  Journeling?  never.  You know one should never say or think never.

The morning started with all the usual routine. .  I ordered more pictures one being a 9X12 you see as the first picture today. A memory I want to be burned in my memory.  

 
             It is sort of a 23rd Psalm picture although there is no quiet water except in the drinking tanks. It's such a peaceful picture seen just outside the Michigan Russell's kitchen window.                             It's many shades of green pasture that restores my soul and leads me.   

I found pictures already taken of all the flower seeds we hope to have available for sharing at the                             October 9th Creation Care service. An example board is ready for that event.  

This sure is a work in progress with more decisions to be made but I'm sure it will all come together. 

My kitchen pictures of the Michigan grandchildren have been in a sorry state.  I'm talking about pictures that were at least 8 years old.  I decided to take a serious look at that posting current pictures that will work for the Michigan kids. The Carmel kids pictures are rather new so I just moved frames around and started on more improvements which will need a few more days to complete.  There are many sheep pictures on the wall but the decision to add all the animals means that some sheep need to go.  The wall is not big enough for everyone.  There is a commitment to keeping fewer sheep on the farm at market time meaning less work.  My wall will also have fewer of them.  
                                                            More changes are coming.  

On my garden walk on another day of perfect weather, I decided that it was red beet time.  The crop has been mity poor sharing tops with the deer.  I pulled out what was left and proceeded to make Harvard Beets.  The internet provided the recipe that I'm sure my mother used.  Something new for supper.  Doug ate his share. I must make them again.   



Why did I wait so long?  

In the evening I attended the Lydia Circle at church.  Something new.

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
