Wednesday.

 I would call this a slow day.  A few aches are back I blame on the fall although I would say I have improved a whole lot. I'm back on a few miracle pills.  And I would say it was a perfect morning so I spent it on the patio drinking coffee and sending pictures to family with the agenda of nothing to do for the day.  I love that.  

This little plant is an early bloomer.  It's a money plant that will develop white discs holding black seeds. .  I don't have a clue what another name would be for this plant.  I let them seed themselves where ever they want to. By the time the seeds appear this plant will be at least 2 ft. tall.  

I did a little edging.  I did a little watering.  I watched a little TV.  I remembered I was retired.  I spray painted with black paint my little bunny, Budda and Cupid.  They needed freshening. 


The two lettuce plantings are growing and I hope to spy the radishes soon. The asparagus is producing and we should have some tomorrow for supper.   

                            So good with a little butter and a couple of minutes in the microwave!

I did a little plant shopping and left everything right where I shopped.  That was at Rosie's and Carmel Ace Hardware. There is not much to see at either store and there's a perfectly good reason.  It's way too early to buy.  I did buy some good plant fertilizer that's guaranteed not to burn and lasts much longer than Miracle Grow.  Plant Prices! ..What sold for 8 dollars in the gal. size of plants I would say 10 years ago is now near 18.  The prices were within a dollar comparison.  That's going to slow me down which is just fine.  I manage to fill things up with annuals started from seeds.  They bloom all summer.  There is quite a collection of perennials in the garden now. 

                                                    Expensive but lasts a long time. 

In May there will be another plant swap at church and I always manage to find something new.  I guess it's time for me to start getting my own trades ready for trade.  I've gotten a Jack in the Pulpit, some iris, a perennial geranium, a snowball bush, and perennial sage bush to name a few.plants. 

                                     A big perennial sage plant.  Ornamental only.  It smells good. 

We had our first supper on the patio under the umbrella.  That was a record-breaking early spring meal.

 Another busy day with all day church.  It was worthwhile. Of course it started with some sewing machine stuff.  There are 50 new burps in the bin.  Yesterday I unloaded another 100 on to Ginny's porch.  So, we're well on the way to another 100.  This next one hundred will make a total of 500 this fall if my head is screwed on right.  Sometimes there are leaks.  Ginny gave me permission to slow down for a while.  I'll let that happen at the end of 500 needing that last bed sheet to reach that number.   Then off to church for another good day with church folks.  Remember your Baptism was the theme for the morning and all went well.                                                                            ...

 A good day with the usual stuff happening.  That's good enough for me.  I was up a little early with breakfast and a little TV but not much.  Spectrum was at it again.  Come on TV.                  Feverfew in it's second bloom.  I think it's a medicinal herb. Don't know for what.     I decided to work on the last 30 burps.  So that's what I did with the hope of getting them finished and on their way to Ginny at church.  Well, that didn't happen.  I ran out of time with only the last sewing to do on all 30.  They made it to the finish line in the afternoon. This is the third 100 in three weeks.  I think that's a new record.  I'm taking a break for a few days.  The nurses should have enough to keep them burp busy for a while.  I delivered the floor blankets so there will be something new for new born babies.         ...

                                                  Dahlias still showing their best side. I see some tired leaves. The morning was all about burps.  There were seventy to work on.  The next thirty needed a sheet for backing.  So the machine did the first sew around and then the scissors did the trimming.  The fabric scraps were deposited in the recycling bin.  Turning the right side to the outside was the next thing that needed to happen. I declared a break time.  But after the break...all seventy were turned ready for the iron.  Then more sewing and folding.  Woo...finishing is on the way.                Volunteer Cherry Tomatoes available for the picking.  I'm over tomatoes for this year.                ...
