Friday.

 This post will be short because not much happened.  Well, a lot may have happened.  I just don't know what it is.

The morning had a trip with Eric to the bus stop at Nora.  That happened in the middle of a big rainstorm.  And the rain continued all morning.  There is nothing like rain to slow everything in my life right down to a crawl.  And the morning did crawl.  There was TV and a few walks in the garden between rain drops.  I found this little blue in the garden means that there are baby robins somewhere                         


I ate an early lunch and was off to the I U Medical Center again for a breast needle biopsy at 1 p.m.  Woo..that needle was really cow size long. Since I was numbed up I didn't care a bit.  I was just impressed.  I'm beginning to feel right at home with the ladies at that breast center.  Certainly not my plan but when there is no choice I make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.  As usual, the doctors were gentle and direct.  That is just how I would want to be treated.  The procedure ended with another mammogram.  I certainly have had a number of grams to last for a while but they keep coming when I need them.  I am grateful for all the diagnostic measures. It's another silk purse experience.  

                            The purple lilacs bloom first and now the white lilacs are at their best.  


On the way home I stopped at Nora to get a plant fix. I left everything there.  The prices are pricy.  I think I can make do with what I have although the yellow Baptista is really tempting.  I sang the Yield Not to Temptation song!!!  


Healthy-looking rhubarb belonging to neighbor Bill.  He loves it...she doesn't.  So the plan is that after Bills return Sunday from yet another African trip to install clean water system in villages, he will have some rhubarb pie waiting for him. Splitting a rhubarb pie full of sugar required for eating with the neighbors makes us all a little healthier.  



  I had it from the good docs that taking it easy for the rest of the day was in order.  And that also supported the nothing much happened part of today's post.  I did make supper and refreshed the Oriole and Hummingbird feeders.  Still no sighting but there is always hope.  Tonight will be an evening of easy which might even continue tomorrow.  I'm a bit sore and achy and just a little mind weary.  News of today's afternoon event should arrive midweek or maybe sooner.

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
