Wednesday

 Another great start to another day I call a gift.  First, another good night of sleep with a little awake time but then sleep till 5:55.  That is what I call great.  Thanks for praying if you are or are not!  Wordle success in four, quite unexpected and then crossword with making trouble for myself but I eventually got everything corrected.  I love the challenge.  I took books back to the library with none replacing what I had.  A stop at the drugstore with a pickup and after that the morning got a little boring.  But the afternoon was busy with the temperature allowing me time to play in the dirt.  I tackled one of the bigger beds with lots of raking and scraping and pulling out and then doing it all over again.  

All clean and filled with Hibiscus, Cup plants, Day Lillies, Blackeyed Susans, Lemon Balm, Live Forever and Butterfly Weed. Everything is up but the Butterfly Weed.  It's a latecomer. I should add Hibiscus and Queen of the Praire to that list of slow pokes. A few Lemon Balm plants found their way into the garbage can.  They can really be pests.  
The cup plant is barely out of the ground on its way to being about 7 feet tall with beautiful yellow flowers.  The Finch love this plant.  So do I. 


There are rocks at various places in the garden.  Of course they are contributions from Doug.  I cleaned the area and relaid again some very old rocks.



One of my favorite thing in the garden is this huge piece of Lake Superior. driftwood complements of the Michigan Russells who found it and carried it a far piece and then gifted it to me.  What a find and what an interesting centerpiece to the herb garden where perennial sweet peas climb all over it.  We see these same sweetpeas in the U P planted by the miner's wives who lived in the area at the beginning of the 20 century. 


There was lots of raking today.  I and my back hope the raking season is soon over.  Mrs. Back lovingly provided a muscle for the hole in Mrs. Head's head.  Yes...there really was a hole in a head.  Mrs. Back is doing a bit of complaining, missing her muscle and demanding that I take care of the body I live in so I WILL.  It's 6 PM and the day is over.  Thanks be to God for another day.  I am grateful. So is my head.

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...

Wed. I'm back Thanks be to God!

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 s...

Saturday.

 Today was the every other Saturday for Soup Kitchen work at church.  But before that I was up at 6 with breakfast and a little sewing time.  By 8 I was on my way to church to be at the door when Tosha would be arriving.  Sarah Ellen is in Italy for the week.  One person short makes a whole lot of difference when the soup kitchen crew is at it's usually small size.  Jack arrived earlier than usual so that was a big help and the new Cindy crew of two more folks made work time even easier.  Sometimes I feel like it's a guess who is coming to work now added to the guess who is coming to lunch.  The crowd wasn't as large as usual.  We just never know.  I say it's a crap shot not to be figured out!                                                I hope to have a lot of these orange cosmos this summer....
