Wednesday all day!

The morning started early with the boys getting ready for school. Eli goes to Meridian Jr. High and Adam to Midland High School Jacob is taking classes online so his day starts with studying at home and then a 1:30 trip to Meridian H. S. for band practice.  Jacob is in a program earning college credits.  It takes a two-car family to get everyone to where they should be.  I'm impressed.

                                    A beautiful pink sedum doing it's best to outshine those close by. 

Eventually, the parents returned home and we did a lot of talking and planting more plants we brought from our garden.  We fluffed the garden and did some trimming to freshen up the look that was getting out of control. It happens this time of year.


                            Adam needed a shirt made inviting his best friend to homecoming activities.

                                                    It took three of us to make it happen.   


The flowerbeds are filled with big healthy plants that are at their best this time of year. 

Lunch happened and we heard from Adam that his headaches were continuing from the soccer incident. School was not a pleasant place to be when not feeling well. 

                                            A few from the kitchen.  A beautiful sight. 

Jared made the afternoon run collecting everyone from school.  It was determined that Adam needed an in-depth evaluation concerning his headaches which happened.  Now we know there is a concussion that needs to be dealt with meaning some home time giving his brain a chance to heal.  No soccer playing until that happens.  He will miss at least 3 game, one being tonight which we were going to attend.  Best laid plans have gone.... Flexibility is the best plan. Next year maybe. 


                        Jared did a major mowing with his John Deer.  The effects are commendable.
  

Supper with barbecued chicken on the grill and Tool Time TV. Jacob and Jared traveled to Bay City for Jacobs weekly private clarinet lesson. I'm quite aware that moving three boys to their activities is two full-time jobs.  

While mowing this afternoon Jared found a bunny nest.  Eli is holding one bunny but plans to let it go later this evening.  Wild bunnies just don't do well out of their habitat.

 Another busy day with all day church.  It was worthwhile. Of course it started with some sewing machine stuff.  There are 50 new burps in the bin.  Yesterday I unloaded another 100 on to Ginny's porch.  So, we're well on the way to another 100.  This next one hundred will make a total of 500 this fall if my head is screwed on right.  Sometimes there are leaks.  Ginny gave me permission to slow down for a while.  I'll let that happen at the end of 500 needing that last bed sheet to reach that number.   Then off to church for another good day with church folks.  Remember your Baptism was the theme for the morning and all went well.                                                                            ...

 A good day with the usual stuff happening.  That's good enough for me.  I was up a little early with breakfast and a little TV but not much.  Spectrum was at it again.  Come on TV.                  Feverfew in it's second bloom.  I think it's a medicinal herb. Don't know for what.     I decided to work on the last 30 burps.  So that's what I did with the hope of getting them finished and on their way to Ginny at church.  Well, that didn't happen.  I ran out of time with only the last sewing to do on all 30.  They made it to the finish line in the afternoon. This is the third 100 in three weeks.  I think that's a new record.  I'm taking a break for a few days.  The nurses should have enough to keep them burp busy for a while.  I delivered the floor blankets so there will be something new for new born babies.         ...

                                                  Dahlias still showing their best side. I see some tired leaves. The morning was all about burps.  There were seventy to work on.  The next thirty needed a sheet for backing.  So the machine did the first sew around and then the scissors did the trimming.  The fabric scraps were deposited in the recycling bin.  Turning the right side to the outside was the next thing that needed to happen. I declared a break time.  But after the break...all seventy were turned ready for the iron.  Then more sewing and folding.  Woo...finishing is on the way.                Volunteer Cherry Tomatoes available for the picking.  I'm over tomatoes for this year.                ...
