Wednesday.

 Wordle in six...Not so good but at least I figured this one out. Crossword...really easy.  I got Eric to the bus and the kids to school.  Busy early morning.  Kat went to work early since they were short on workers.  Not such a hot breakfast meal since the milk went sour since yesterday.'s breakfast.   Big surprise.  I thought it looked a little thick!!!!!

Put together another quilt top so now there are three with till a big stack of squares so there will be a number four. .  I've got the routine down so there should be more tops until it drives me crazy.  

So far number 3 looks just like numbers 1 and 2.  A tiny black border is ready for tomorrow morning's work along with an even wider border, color to be determined.  I'm thinking of a fleece backing.  Then some knotting.  Easy solution.  

I made a stop at the bank to deposit some checks.  Then to Sarah Ellen's with a bunch of bibs for Kenya on their way next week.  But I left them at the front door at the wrong house since I knew that Sarah Ellen would not be home.  She retrieved them.  Then to the west side Aldi's which is a huge store.  It took me a while to find everything even with a small list of things to buy. It's more than twice as big as the store I usually shop at in Nora. Jared thought  my Aldi's was huge.  I wonder what he would say after visiting the 106th and Michigan Rd. store. 

                                                                        Bibs for Kenya


Then I stopped at the west side JoAnn's to get solid colored fabric for more quilt blocks.  The washing machine got all the sizing out so they are ready to be cut into five inch squares.  Yup...it's more of the same.  

                                                    More colors coming my way. 

I had another lesson with Doug about bank deposits.  My book is full of notes so I should be doing better with retaining information.  At least that's the HOPE!  It's so easy for Doug to do all that kind of stuff but I really should have information like that in my book of tricks.  

It was chicken vegetable soup for supper.  The blander the better for my stomach.  I think my stomach is protesting its age.  What a bummer.  


                                            I used one of Kat's placemats for the picture.  

Today I saw a pair of bluebirds and a male and female Red Bellied woodpecker at the feeder.  I only caught the female pecker by camera.  They seem really skidish.  Mr. Squirrel was back. 
Mrs. Woodpecker on the suet.  Her red spot is small compared to Mr.'s spot.

                                   A nice ending to an interesting day.  Fresh flowers are always refreshing.  I woulad call this a little crazy day.  Meaning the unexpected was part of the morning.  But first... A great night of sleep again thinking it was six o'clock when it really was seven.  Now an extra hour of sleep never hurt anyone.  There was breakfast of course with a little TV. Yesterday I finished sewing and turning 30 burps, so the order of the morning was to iron all of them with top stitching in mind at some point. And there was time to iron all 30.             I did some straw flower seed saving.  It's a repeat of last fall that worked well this spring. Then it was off to church to pick up and put away all the things that supported the six weeks of sermons on prayer.  I love these lit...

Red sails in the morning, Sailors take warning.   The warning sign was miss thinking about a wonderful day with a gorgeous sunrise, but it turned into anything but wonderful. And after yesterday's blog entry, what was hoped to be a good week had a dismal beginning.  Jared called to tell us that Sunday evening Wyatt, their beautiful red poodle stopped eating and by three in the morning of Monday as Jared was driving to Lancing to the Vet at Michigan State, Wyatt died.  Wyatt was one wonderful dog in every sense of the word.  Smart, friendly, protective with absolute understanding about so many things.  Today and the days ahead will be days of mourning eventually becoming times of reflections about all the good that Wyatt brought to us.  His camping chair is now sitting in our living room reminding us of that goodness he gifted us.  After hearing about this event, I took a walk outside to clear my head and heart and found the first of many crocus bl...

 Another good start to the day with my yummy yogurt, almonds, blueberries and coffee and the TV.  But not for long.  It was back to the beloved sweat shop with burps.  That's the go to when the need to do something else comes along.  It was the last 10 of the next 100.  They will be in my closet until nearer Christmas.  Some of the burps are Christmas themed.  There was additional ripping, then folding and finally ironing where need.  The pipeline is filled again with additional work ready willing and able to become more burps. Starting on another 100 leads to the next 100 a total equaling 2500 burps.   I worked on a sign to advertise the No Kings event of the day.  Joining a big group even though it is outside is not going to happen.  But I had an idea up my sleeve. It's that germ thing and the energy thing that will keep me close to home.   Then another late morning in the garden after the warmup.  I notic...
