Wednesday.

 

I picked these this morning.  There are a few more peppers in the garden.  

All the usual morning stuff with a big flunk on Wordle.  I don't use words like that is my excuse which like always is a poor excuse.  I started on the last picture project and realized that I ordered the wrong size.  So after taking a break I ordered the right size.  Many thanks there were only 4 prints but the price really jumps when moving to a 5X7.  I'm still missing the Carmel Russell pets.  These pictures will be hanging for a long time.  


I've got the horse, cat, dog chicken and three lambs pictured.  And of course the grandsons.  
The wall also holds the wedding picture of my parents.  The brown blob is an antique wooden carving of a rooster. I'm not sure what it was used for.  Maybe a big cookie? 

I finally remembered to call Mike to make a haircut appointment.  It's been way too long since the last cutting visit.  He ask how soon could I get to the shop.  Five minutes said a desperate voice..  I lost a whole lot of hair and the behavior of the hair now on my head should improve without a doubt.  



                      We've eaten a few of these in our salad over the summer.  Not the dragon fly!!! 


I bought some Gala Apples last week.  This morning after tasting one that was sweet beyond good in my book, I decided it was pie time.  There were enough apples for two pies.  Two neighbor households each got a couple of pieces and the lawn guys found a piece when they returned to the truck to move on to another lawn..  Now Doug and I have the right amount to nibble on.  


Yes, family,  I'm getting ready for Thanksgiving in Georgia where you can eat as many pies as I can make.  It's a baking marathon that I enjoy.  This pie was delicious.  


The wonderful fall temperatures continue with few excuses to stay inside.  More clipping will happen when the big blues are empty.  The toppled-over by the deer tomato caged plant was the latest contribution to the already full cans.  One more thing was cleaned up.  The autumn joy succulents should be next but they are so beautiful this time of year.  They will get to stay a little longer.  
                        Grass blooming, a long-ago gift from Rosie, beside the Autumn Joy.                                          A nice combination of colors.                        

Many years ago the mother of one of my students gifted me with a cross-stitch with words I totally am in agreement with.  That's what makes teaching so interesting and challenging.                        
The work has become aged in looks but I returned it to the wall as a wonderful remembrance. 
What is brown now was once white.  I would say the opposite has happened to me.  What was dark brown now is now white!!!!  Funny how that works.  

Those are words to remember for many reasons.

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
