Thursday

 Big goof.  The first title for today's entry was Friday.  It's still to come I think!

The weeks seem to go faster and faster.  How does that work?  Days are flying.  This morning there was another crossword success.  Wordle took the rest of the day.  Ugh.

The morning was filled with buttons and buttonholes.  I'm always surprised by how easy the sewing machine makes this all happen and I'm also surprised by how long it takes to do 15 bibs.  Without the machine, I'd be using the whole day or more.  It's a get-er-done thing so I can move on to FABRIC! 15 more bibs finished. 15 more babies with a bib.

                            Button button who has the button.  That's a very old game we played. 

Later in the morning, my back told me to take a break.  I may have learned something a couple of days ago and with any luck, I'll remember what I learned.  Coping with back temper tantrums is not my thing. 

The other event of the morning was hacking in to the monastery fruitcake we brought back in November.  It's so tasty, too.  ( Lucy style and a family joke!)  What a delight for all those taste buds.  They were very busy.  


The afternoon temperatures made a walk possible with a little wind added for an accent piece. 61 degrees.  I was missing Stella's help.  I think she will get an invitation soon.  It seems our Copper Harbor friends are getting a wallop of winter.  It's been warmer than usual for them but I would say not currently.  When it snows it can snow all day and night with many repeats during the same storm in that part of the USA.  The Midland, Michigan grandsons had another snow day today with now a total of 8 inches or more on the ground.  

              This also looks like a wallop!             
                         A Thursday morning picture with Jared on the tractor messing with the snow.                    Hard to believe it's only 300 miles north of Indy.

                    This is our Thursday February 23rd scene. Humm,  300 miles south of Midland Michigan.
                                Lenten Roses are doing their best.  It must be the season of Lent!





In the afternoon I bagged up all the bibs ready for transport to Jenny.  This is what 75 bibs look like sitting on the launching pad ready for takeoff.  Look out baby, here we come.  I've made my goal of 100 bibs and starting on the next hundred with 10 bibs finished.  Just 90 more to go.   Easy day today.  Nothing new finished after all those button holes and buttons. I did get a lot of beginnings completed. 

There was a trip out visiting three Goodwills looking for padding.  I found a very nice small fleece blanket.  It will take care of 16 bib insides. I'm all set for a while.  My next question for Jenny is...How many babies are in the program here in Indianapolis.  I think she alone has has a total of 30 in every phase of the program.  Some entering and some ready to leave. 

            Another easy evening.  The sweatshop is closed.  My back is whispering.  It's loud enough.

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
