Thursday

 A great morning to mess, and I did.  All the little plants got a check up leading to decisions about what needed to be moved to another place, what needed to stay the same and what if anything needed to be pitched.

I got all the necessaries together and this is what happened.  

Something to watch to see what happens.  Four little succulents are getting a start in a new place. 
                           The succulent that was living here wasn't so happy so a completely new                     plant is living here with a friend.  

The plants living in this Dennis bowl seem to be getting along.  I left them undisturbed. 

While we were visiting the family in Georgia an interesting conversation was heard between Eli and Uncle Dee.  It was strange and one they understood perfectly.  
This ampersand found at Goodwill is a perfect Eli gift. Just couldn't do better.  Don't you think so Dee?

In the early 80's there were 4 teachers who taught first grade together at Forest Dale.  We've lunched together periodically ever since those years.  Today was one of those lunch days.  We have lived through so many milestones together keeping up with family events and more.  A very best friendship team. 

        This afternoon the entertainment seems to be captured by photo  Could it be a new bird?             Our theves  never give up, this time eating some very old seed from one of the feeders.  


                                                 A squirrel with his face in the round globe.
I dumped all the seeds on the ground and that seemed to solve the need for climbing the pole.                                                    I could be called a no fun for squirrel person.  

Supper tonight was another Shepherd's Pie attempt.  Not exactly. The meat should be ground beef and this one was chicken.  But the rest was as it should be with a mashed potato lid over vegetables and a chicken and onion flavored rue.  Doug thought it was wonderful.  That makes it a winner.  
I used some Dennis cereal bowls for baking.  The Santa helpers are bringing me some real bowls!!!!!

    Eli's gift is perfect! I am so glad you found it, Lela! The only thing better would be an ellipsis. (Think about it: you could give him three wooden circles - like big checkers . . .)

    I just hope he does not read your blog. Or that the rest of his family remains tight-lipped.

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
