Wednesday.

 Mid Week.  Yahoo!  or something like that.  Movin' right along.  

The morning seemed slow, so I was off to Goodwill to shop.  That place always is a happy place full of bargains  The goal was to find an attractive container to plant more succulents.  The container needed to be interesting so that eliminated a lot of options.  Succulents need very little water so no hole is necessary for the bottom of the container.  It's much better to neglect than overwater succulent plant. That makes plant care a breeze.  This is what I found. 




I think it could hold 4 succulents with room to grow.  Habigs at Nora has a few plants to choose from.  They could be cheaper!  

  We were off to the library again to return unread novels and borrow more succulent books.  I must admit I'm envious of pictures taken in California where they grow huge with wonderful year-round temperatures.  I found one succulent book on the shelf.  It seems I have the rest of them sitting beside my chair.  The book I brought home is another one of those California-type plantings.  I'll see what I can do with it.  Once again beautiful pictures with lots of ideas.   


Doug went home and I went on my way to Habigs.  A 30% off of any house plant helped a bit.  This is what I bought.  I think I can pull one of my old plants apart to add to this collection.  Fun, fun.  Messing with dirt is not quite the same as a summer mess but I'll take it.  These three look big but they are really tiny.  Two of the pots are about an inch across.  





During my morning trip to Goodwill, I found some contact paper rolls which turned me into a shelf-covering housewife.  I hate that job.  When our kitchen was redone years ago I refused to cover the shelves.  Bare boards were better. That has changed.  It remains to be seen how many shelves and drawers are completed.  Being short has its good side,  I can't see what a lot of the shelves look like.  The longer I live it seems that the shelves continue their move up.!!!!  

During my second trip to Goodwill after Habig's visit, I found more treasures for a total cash transaction of 5 dollars.  It's money well spent bringing a whole bunch of family laughs in a couple of weeks.  

My knees continue to be an unmatched pair with one looking a bit oversized for the reason spoken about yesterday.  Ice continues to be the answer and I'm taking great care to see that Ms. Biggie receives the attention she needs.

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
